You can't park here!

I rolled onto a scale and the DOT officer said I was 200 lbs over gross. I figured if I took 12 lbs out of each tire, I should be legal.

Try veal and be sure to tip your server. I'll be here all week.

 

Fine, I'll give it to you. The entire weight of your truck isn't pushing down on the ground casing damage over the spread out area. Clearly you're only focusing on the tires and not the rest of the truck

 

Why does the 300lb guy leave a deeper footprint? Menage there's more weight pushing down. I don't see what's so hard to understand

 

If I am 14 ft wide and 80,000 lbs do I weigh more than if I am 9 ft wide and 80,000 lbs?

 

That's smart.

Yes I am. As do the DOT when they scale you and when they make the laws and when they issue your overweight permits.

 

No. But if you're 9 foot wide the force of the weight is spread intro a smaller area. When you're wider it's across a wider area.

This is what wears down these lots. Their just not made for that kind of weight. A truck and trailer just pushes down in too small of an area for it

 

They scale you by axle because of the wrought pushed down on that axle. Moving your tandems redistributes that weight but your truck always weighs the same

 

Too easy........

 

Basic physics buddy. Very basic physics

 

did the same and took a poop for good measure........all went well afterwards.....frankly, they complimented me on my initiative and good sense.
Sometimes, ya just gotta think out of the box
