    That dude that did my last level 1 in Washington spent at least 20 minutes under my truck and trailer. I know it's all about revenue, sorry I mean safety, but I just prefer to avoid all contact. I've had a social distancing policy with the DPS for a long time now.

    I think in honor of the COVID-19 pandemic we should for the all time going forward social distance from all inspections. It is for their safety more than ours after all. ;)

    How did you get that much weight on the drives? Looking at the load and tarp pictures, it looked good.

    I would run it as is. Moving the 5th not going to really gain anything.

    Well orginally the forklift guy loaded everything up front . I went to a scale down the street and was 44k on drives. I had him move 8 pallets to the back . Each ones about 1200. Figured it should be good. Measured the deck space, was 7ft from freight to front of trailer, and 6.5 ft from freight to back of trailer. So it aint quite centered on trailer but pretty dang close. For some reason this truck always scales heavy on drives it seems like.

    I see you and raise.....
    Dropping on one side of the yard, picking up on the other.
    No tarping involved
    And free coffee in the break room.

    Your move, sir

    If I ever get tired of heavy machinery( which will never happen ) but if it did and went to flatbed I would go to the Tibbett school of tarring.
