Shut Down at the Scale...44,000 on my spread

yep. bulkhead be the word.

i have 4 4x4 for a 16 inch wall. (usually 3 is sufficient though) i see more drivers using straps then a chain.

 

Over gross is a permit, over on a spread needs cargo adjustment. Your the Boss, fix it.

I always build the bulkhead right at whatever I am loaded with. Try to keep it from getting any energy at all is the best bet! I see guys that build it at the front of the trailer when the load is 15 feet back from it. Dont think that will work in the drivers favor!

 

Oh yeh next time I haul skidded sheets I'll throw an 8' or two up in front.

 

What's the cost of those onboard wireless scales ???

Bout $450:smt074

 

Why do you need a wireless one? The standard one's from Right Weight are about $80 with brackets, and plumb into the air bag just like the wireless one's, except you run a 1/4" line. not that hard to do....

 

never heard of wireless. is there any advantage to them besides a lighter wallet????

i wouldn't think the transmitter or whatever it uses would last very long with the tires splashing crap underneath. (rain, snow, mud, ect.)

 

The one I have on the dash for my drive axles was $30. It saves time and guessing.
