    We had a great guy in Mo. as well. He let us adjust until we were legal. Load came from Laredo and was 17,000 on the BOL, but was over 42,000 at the scale. Lesson learned is to scale all loads out of Laredo yard.

    Realizing how easy it is to forget little things. Take the time to make sure you read the paperwork correctly, pre trip your trailer every time, secure your load.... the basics!!! They are important and can save your butt. We stopped for fuel and I did a check of the trailer and found we were missing a back tire. It was there when I started and didn't see or feel it come off. Pouring rain and horrible roads but was glad I was able to get I fixed in under 30 minutes. Be safe and take your time!

    And then .........a day like today.

    We are sitting at the Loves in Yuma AZ. Unfortunately this is a HUGE upgrade from the parking lot in Calexico CA. LOL. We were dispatched from Phoenix to come to Calexico and pick up a load to Memphis. Get here early afternoon yesterday and they said "no load" Only 120 degrees here but got all the way down to 91 degrees at 4 am. I would not really care except we are in Yuma. Why would ANYBODY live here?

    We must be following you guys around. We just drove
    From Seattle to Calexico, all the way down 5. LA traffic
    Not bad today. Headed to the Midwest. If our load is still
    In Calexico...
