    Well, in all honesty, I wouldn't have known that either. So, he was trying to do the right thing.

    Ya reckon that is like getting your hand stamped at the beer joint; go in and out and back in on the same insignia?
    If so,add a little on the load back...
    (Way back VA and KY did not honor a tandem trailer. There was a company, Atlanta Metal Casket Co, ran north out of Atlanta. SA furniture vans,3000 Whites and come home empty. Drivers made more money hauling overload across the scales on US11 than the drew in pay. (Knox glass drivers had a similar gig)
    Story goes of one was so active one night near Roanoke, scale man pulled him round back and in. Asked. How many trucks does you company have?
    Driver at loss of what to tell said he had not been there when all of them were in, so he really did not know. Scale man said,well I just wondered, there are 6 of them ahead of you since I came on... Boy had been looping the scales all night.)

    Moving 90 lb boxes of grapefruit in wirebound crates is hard on the hands and back, but improves your math and weight distribution skills.
