    I've read from the beginning when he first posted. Yes, there are a lot of bashing, same beating down over and over by those who have never made a mistake in their life. I was hoping he would overlook them and let those that didn't pile on find out what happened. Also, the outcome may help another new driver know more of what to do/not do in the same situation.

    It's easy to forget what it's like being new and being intimidated by management, especially when you have the DOT shutting you down along with unreasonable company people. I just would like to find out if the company shafted him totally, or just partly.

    I'm thinken maybe he got fired and don't want the world to know and receive more bashing which is understandable.But only he knows the real story.If he doesn't want to come on here and tell us,I respect his decision.

    I had a load of wood Thursday, I don't know if I would of weighed it but after reading this thread the week before I scaled. Sure enough I was over 40k on the trailer. This thread saved me some money.

    Hes negotiating the sale of his story to A&E network. There just trying to renegotiate the graphic hygene deficiency and grotesque appearance so its suitable for a pg13 TV show. They had to take several breaks so the producers could apply more vicks under there noses due to the smell.

    I went to the concession stand to get popcorn. I think I got lost and ended up in the wrong theatre. Is this " Tales from the Scalehouse"?

    drop the trailer go get a shower and some food maybe there is an empty deck driver who can help you out getting some of the load off and you can get the trailer to the stop as well if I were anywhere close I would be helping you out of this mess.

    that scale app is worthless. 95% of the time. it's wrong. and valid proof that truckers of the world. love to play games.

    i've seen open scales that have never been open. and closed scales that are never closed. and scales that i update to true status. and 5 minutes later. reporting the opposite NOT true status.
