    Their about the same as any other air pressure scale once you get a feel for it. I can usually get within about 2k pounds even on unlevel ground. Unless im parked in a moonscape then its a lot harder lol. There are more accurate scales but they are heavy and cost a fortune.

    Also you ever wake up and have one of those days where you completely forget how to truck and get to play amature hour trying 50 times to get into a hole you have backed into hundreds of times with no issues? Thats how my day is going lol.

    LOL I have had those days but admitialy they are fewer and farther in between. I have double needle air gauges in my truck but was wondering if the new ones are better than the old ones. Mine is actually a gauge that was used for and reads primary and secondary air pressure. I have two separate double needle gauges, one that acts as the air scales if you wanna call it that, and the other one does what it's supposed to. I started doing that about 25 yrs ago.

    Yea this happens every year around christmas. This 2-3 week period is always really slow. Just not much call for bulk products. Usually we have a ton of crap coming out of NC but well.....not so much this year.
