Whose ready for this new rule? July 2016.

Then rail yards need to add scales to there property!

 

Gary is the closest

 

LOL Gary,IN? They have two right there close to that Memphis Rail Yard but it takes half a day to get in and half a day to get back out!LOL

 

Yeah at the ta or pilot. I run rails too. Hub group

 

China shippers will simply falsify a weight ticket before the container is loaded on a ship. Then, it's the problem at the ports in USA.
Some intermodal drivers already do this by weighing a light load and using that ticket for the overweight load. I worked a few months at an intermodal company and this was common practice.
It's getting harder to get away with that these days.

 

Wrong, there's a new Pilot at Kedzie and 127th......also, new Pilot coming up on Harlem and 75th???....also new truck stop in Northlake (can be seen from 294).

Also two more (Pilot and Stop NFuel by G4....Plus two new Loves (159th and 94 and on 55 and next exit south of Arsenal.....there's a reason why all these truck stops are popping up (EOBRS, parking and I guess this rule)...

Not enough of them, if you ask me...

 

They already do, they scale some containers before loading them on the trains(don't know what criteria they use to pick them). Problem is they do so WITHOUT the chassis......

Elwood's is right by the Flip booth......

 

Just had a discussion about this with my bosses the other day. All of our grain customers are in for a shock, we have one the typically under weighs his loads by 2,500 lbs. Not anymore, all weight will have to be certified, from our discussion on it, if the customer gives us a certified scale ticket. The main reasons are on the sea side of things, in the article it specifically points out three ship incidents, and apparently there have been at least two dozen more because of weights not properly reported.
