Whose ready for this new rule? July 2016.

And some of the shipping companies will stop loading them.

 

Yep they need the correct weights when figuring out where to place the cans for proper balance plus not putting a too heavy can on a light can
Yes I know the cans are rated for stack weight but the tie downs can be off then

 

The easiest, most effective way to get this done is for the ports to scale and certify each container prior to loading, for a fee, of course. Many cranes world wide are fitted with scales, an easy live time verification tool right there.

 

That BP with dunkin donuts at the corner of Pershing and Morgan near US Cellular field has a scale also.

 

That is going to cause a mess if every single box has to be weighed.

Someone or several someones are fixing to be rich off scale revenue.

 

Didn't fully read the link, but it say the shipper needs to verify it. So if you pick up a load at a customer, just weight it before going into the rail. If you're doing crosstowns, then the pervious driver should already had done it.

I don't see much of a huge problem, just gna be really annoying weighting a load that's light

 

Easiest way is to get a trucker to do it for nothing.....kinda built into the rate !

 

Ive loaded boxes to the max 68K once or twice making me over 100K, one point 135K wrecking the scales in VA when the load cells failed resulting in a large multi thousand ticket. Ive wondered about that particular box sometimes, a load of turkey for export. That particular loading episode was a complete fiasco in every way possible I could elaborate and show all the mistakes that loaded that box really heavy... But.. eh...

 

Theres a petro in wilmington il

 

I did grain for about 6 months. We had one customer who swears they only load 56000, but every time I pulled one my load gauge said it was closer to 65+. I'm sure I was over 100,000 on most of those loads. We bought all the permits, so as long as I was under 100 I was ok.
They were constantly getting in trouble with Bnsf Elwood for being overweight. Elwood would scale their loads on a regular bases.
