    check this out. A JB Hunt intermodal driver was asking me if this looked right... He is in a day cab.
    His 5th wheel is all the way back.
    Scale issue?
    No, he wasn't really really fat!!

    Something aint right about that. I'd ask the manager for a re-weigh.

    Maybe call the CAT number on the ticket & see if you could go to another scale & weight..??

    I'd say he had part of the drives on steer platform. He was driving a short wheel based day cab

    He was pulling up to the speaker putting his front drive on the first pad with his steer.
