When they ask for light weight?

Awww c'mon Otter! At 3 minutes you ARE a lightweight!

 

As long as I am on the bottom......3 minutes on top would be a call to *911*!

 

if you tie and gag her correctly, she can't call anyone

 

True!

But.....I have to let her up to cook dinner.....and we know women have....have....whats that called(?)...like an elephant, you know.......what is that???????

















OH yeah......memory!

 

Boy, this went down hill fast.

 

A light weight is when you're actually hauling chickens in big cages. Your heavy weight is when they're all calm. The light weight is when you get out and beat on the trailer to get them flying.

Tell your company to start using the right terms the correct term is tare weight. Weighed with what fuel you have in your truck and trailer.

 

Actually your "tare weight" is the weight of the unit without driver or drivers personal things...ya know...like when you are buying the truck.

Shippers ask for "light weight"....the term has been around for decades, and is common, and correct. "LIGHT WEIGHT", before loading whatever the product is to be shipped. An empty shipping container has a posted "tare weight" which does not include the chassis, just the container.

I don't think the OP's question of weight came from "his" company, most likely the shipper.

 

He's got himself listed as a "wannabe." I think he's talking to recruiters at that reefer outfit that puts little Cascadias and Pornstars on the road. One bunk, short sleeper. They call those things "light weight tractors."
