No way man, don't allow those pencil pushing pricks to force you into doing something illegal. It's because they are the office people is why they think you will deliver the load illegally, because there's no way they think it's legal if your telling them it's 200lbs over. DOT doesn't have to be lenient on any law of your over by .5 lb they have rights. Every time your told to do something illegal document it take pics of the Qualcomm . It's issentially like Denzel in Training Day making his partner smoke Angel Dust, no one can make you do anything , it's called beating the pressure
We do a lot of A/B and it's always the same thing. They'd rather overload it and then take just enough off to get it just under 80k than load it right to start with. Williamsburg, Va and cartersville, ga are repeat offenders in that regard. At least with them they have scales onsite and won't allow you to leave over gross and always ask if you're good with your weights before you leave. You can't come back in for rework once it's sealed and you leave but at that point it's on you.
When I scaled it all the way forward it was like 1540lb over. Scaled it at the 40 and it was 900 over. I got it down to 760 but now it's beyond the 40 and I'm not pulling it. Collecting detention now, but they also refused to let me stay on property, so I got their name per company policy so I can get paid to sit at TA instead lol Returning at 1900 for a rework and hopefully they take the full 10 hours I can collect for detention. Either way I have like 5 left on my 14, so today is shot.
Yep, Fairfield Cali's like that. Great scales, no problem reworking the load, but as we both know, they'd rather push the limit from the get go. Lol
That sucks amigo, but hey, at least you'll be legal....If you had of run with it and got caught at a coop, trust me, your company would have said, why did you leave over weight.
A/B in van nuys ca is the same. Loads i get there were always right on. Never had a load reworked there
