    Sixty pounds is nothing I've been 500 over many times you'll be fine if in the future you get overweight loads.

    If you personally weigh like 500 pounds like some truckers go take a dump you might lose at least 20 pounds.:D

    Yeppers. I'm not getting paid by the hour so why should I have to give away more free time (1/2 tanks = more fuel stops) to save the shipper money. If I was paid extra for the extra fuel stops, sure...

    Also, if you load with full tanks and still scale legal, any worries of overweight tickets vanish.

    Peace of mind is nice, isn't it? :D
