Message:: [QUOTE="discodubber, post: 8239785, member: 88260"]When I worked for Stevens, I hauled 2 loads out of FL. They were both Tropicana, and they were both very overweight.I don’t know if it’s changed at all - this was over 4 years ago - but both loads were drop & hook, there was no scale on the facility, the trailer was sealed before they parked it, and once you received the BOL, the load was not allowed back on the property. The closest certified scale was about 60 miles away, too.My first OJ run was 4000 over gross and 2000 over on the drives with the axles all the way up. It also had 6 stops on it.The second one was 6000 over gross, and I refused to haul it, which went over really well. The company I haul for now does Florida’s Natural out of Lake Wales, FL, and I tell you what... Night and day experience. Yes, I nearly always have to live load there, but they’re usually pretty cool about it if I run out of hours, and they let me take my break there. And the loads? I’ve not been overweight once. I’ve also never had more than 2 drops on one of their loads.[/QUOTE]
