Got to love when people in the office has no idea about trucking
I love the whole "well the other drivers do it" line. Well get one of them here but I ain't running it.
We do it all the times...!!! Unbelievable...!
She expected you to accept it because other drivers do it, who cares she will not pay for the fine. Making it difficult when it was so easy from the get go to remove the extra pallets. Unreal.
Good grief you can’t argue with ignorance. Wasn’t there another level up you could have gone ?
NEVER!!
I admire your patience with that woman who was getting frustrated that she couldn't bully you into breaking the law. "We overload other drivers all the time" is just about the most useless, condescending thing she could have said in response to finding out you were overloaded.
No one can make a driver does anything he/she doesn’t want to do. He wasted too much time repeating the same BS. Ask them to remove the weight or the load, that’s what I do everyday.
@@MrStrutusThat is what he did and they instead moved the pallets around so he had to repeat the issue of being overweight. There isn't much the driver can do about their stupidity and not removing the pallets the first time.
She has no understanding of Truck Axle weight... That is trucking
My flatbed weighs 30500. Our vans were 32500 and were reefers. 46k was heavy but doable
If that company over loads all the time then that's a serious problem!!. Driver's should always check their weight.
Justin, you are dead right by what you did!!
Energizer out of southern indiana always loads you overweight as well. The companies DO NOT care and if they can get away with it THEY WILL.
Exactly. Needs to be reported.
Yeah that's not good if they say they do it all the time.
I think they get away with it, because these guys are loading heavy and just running with it. So the shipper thinks there’s no problem loading that heavy…..
Yeah that’s nuts mind blowing but it’s good to know 👍🏼
At the end of the day it’s your business, your license and your CSA score and I’m glad that you stood your ground!!! This industry know it’s a trip, I swear!!!
Has nothing to do with your license lol.csa score yes
@@jerrywilcox9890sure does! To many violations, and your insurance will cancel you, and then you can drive, because no insurance will cover, literally making your license worthless
Why was it so difficult for them to take the two pallets off at first? They messing with your livelihood.
She said it was all one order and the receiver didn't want it split up onto two trucks.
Thst's the problem .. 1 order .. if they can get 3000 free punds ontop... 13 times.. that's a free load the compagny let you Pai for..
The woman doesn't want to have to deal with the problem. I don't take anything she was saying seriously. She was trying to verbally shift the problem to being Justin's.
that it is 1 order is not the problem. The problem is when the shipper or broker understates the payload weight when they tender the load on the loadboard. If it would be accurate you would obviously know or have a really good idea ( based on you knowing the rough empty weight or your truck and trailer) of if you can haul the load with legal weigh limits, which you agree to by accepting the load.
If the load board states less weight thats broker games… messes up your day
Justin, forty five years ago the driver was talked to by the forklift driver and they would want to know the overall weight and how I wanted it loaded. Back then the forklift drivers knew their product and the best way to load most trailers. Sadly today many forklift drivers don't even know what their pallets weight or how to arrange the load for a trailer.
I know right, even the trailer, and the spread of the axel. Id have asked to speak to their supervisor, visor.
This whole industry has become unrecognizably terrible.
Heck, this nation has.
The gross weight of every pallet full of stuff is on the pallet.
@ChrisL-oz4lp It should also be on the bol. A line-item description of what's on every pallet, and the EXACT WEIGHT.
If you don't pay, and you treat your workers like crap, the good one won't stay around
You always have to protect yourself,because no one else will.
And in the end,even if their wrong,you will be the one to pay the price.
Another Great episode
Big respect for you brother. I'm retired, and I am pretty sure that I would have lost my mind and went off. You are one cool driver and I applaud you for the way you handled your situation. God bless you and please stay safe out there....
This is one of the biggest headaches in trucking they don't care if you take a hit by dot because it's not their behind on the line I also experienced this recently with a company I worked for where the operations manager was advising me to break federal regulations just to stay moving I ended up quitting over the issue because when I took it to the main office they was covering for him even though I provided evidence of him telling me to break dot regulations in text messages
That has to be the biggest frustration, to be trying to run by the book, and MANAGEMENT is tryna pressure you to run dirty. Smh
Just say No! It's not worth your livelihood.
It's up to you.. In my State we can purchase a 3000 lb overweight permit pretty cheaply. I picked up a 3 drop pool table load late on a Friday night.. they shut the gate to the plant behind me when I left. When I scaled I was over 2600 lbs on the rears (they'd stuck a big box of slate on the tail for Drop 1).. 1st drop was 800 mi away in Denver for Monday. Plant behind me was closed, Permit office was closed ... I wasn't waiting for the plant to open back up on Monday and my Company was Never the type to overload me. 2600 lbs represented about a 6 percent difference between legal weight and overloaded on the Tail tandems.. and since the State would sell me an overload/permit I knew I wasn't tearing up anyone's highway. I broke out my Atlas and picked a non scale route to Denver and since I only had 400 mi to travel each day it was pretty easy running. I solved a problem.. I didn't destroy property.. and I was DOT weight legal for 2/3rd's of my trip. I ran 2-3 loads/week at that Company .. so 100- 140 loads a year .. of those maybe 1-3 would have weight issues. Maybe 1 percent of my loads.. I hope you don't expect life to be perfect .. it never is. Just a word of perspective .. when you run 56 mph in a 55 mph zone .. you are "breaking regulations".. Pump the brakes on getting huffy about engaging in activity that doesn't harm persons or property.. and solves problems.
1st thing I did when I got into a new to me truck is I'd fill both tanks and weigh it and gave myself #1,000. for grace. Then I'd run it low on fuel and get another weigh. So I knew exactly what I could haul.
8:42 typical thing all brokers & shippers say: "WE DO IT ALL THE TIME!" Goddammit!
Brother you have to be one of the nicest and most patient drivers those people meet all day. I dont know how you do it without loosing your cool , I truely believe that has a lot to do with your great success
Been doing this 30 years, I can totally relate …been there , done that. In everything from a 99 w900 to my last truck a 13 cascadia. Now, I would agree that anything over 44500…I’ll sweat out total weight but , to my surprise, my 13 cascadia 125 midroof with a 2000 dry wabash, I could haul 46,600 before I had to worry about fuel levels. Just an fyi….that load weight is not unusual in these newer trucks but regardless…I don’t want over 44500 unless it’s absolutely necessary (or pays my company well enough for the extra fuel cost and headaches..lol)
I actually just commented earlier that 46k loads are just normal.
I actually keep a empty weight ticket on hand just because a lot of mills require you show one on check in.
My bosses rig with full tanks is
SA 10640
DA 12160
TA 8920
Gross 31720
And yes that's a sleeper cab but no APU.
@@Kitchfox what truck and trailer is that?
Thank you for the video.
Excellent job of remaining courteous while standing up for your interests--being able to ". . . disagree without being disagreeable."
Keep up the good work.
Bottom line is it's over your gross! Period! Take two or three pallets off or all them! As if drivers jobs aren't stressful enough!
Possibly the shipper should be reported to DOT for some ‘retraining/reeducation’ 🤔👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦
Gotta love the "adjust the weight" bs...83k is 83k!!!
The curse of the 53 foot trailer! Loaders routinely plan poorly and wind up putting too much weight on the rear. Here in Cali when I was driving, the smart operators would paint a line or post a sign saying "Load as 48' Trailer" or "Don't Load Past this Line" to keep the weight distributed. But 83,000 is 83,000! I picked up a Campbell Soup load that weighed heavy once. Went back to shipping office to tell them and they said I was crazy! Turns out trailer was loaded by 2 different shifts and they loaded not 1 but 2 pallets too much. I'm sure glad they apologized for their mistake! (Oh, wait, they didn't😵).
KPRA is different in every *freakin* state too!
Wow they should have thanked you. You saved them giving a whole skid of soup away.
Yep those who know know that you can't load a 53' all the way to the doors with a heavy load
Campbell Soup when they were in Sacramento or after that facility was shut down and they had to move to Rancho Cucamonga?
At the old plant on Franklin Blvd. We picked up pre loaded trailers and the weight had to match up or they wouldn't let us leave. It threw them for a loop! Especially when they couldn't blame the truck driver.@@WestCoastTruckingCEO
Step Father used to run into the weight issues all the time hauling steel back in the day. Trust me, they knew every road and trail around the scales. Things have changed quite a bit from the 70's. I remember trucks loaded so heavy coming out of the steel mills in the Mon valley that they couldn't pull the grades. Stuck up in the middle of the road.
I mostly haul steel and equipment. Most steel shippers will load me to capacity based on an empty scale ticket. Lumber is where I’ve ran into issues with weight
@@tyrone_shoelace_says OTR Truck Driving, the romantic cowboy life, for about 48 hours. Tough way to make a living, especially theses days. The administrative stuff alone is insane. Wonder if the Broker's are still the same group of thieves and cut rates they used to be? I live near USS Gary Works and several other big steel mills. You don't see the steel haulers like you used to. Haven't seen a Michigan Train since way back.
I had that same problem at Poland springs in Maine they took 6 hours to off load 2 skids and had the nerve to have an attitude...! Unbelievable...!
That woman is too ignorant to claim they load 83.000 everyday ,they tried that with me 10 years ago on a water load that was almost 46.000 in Maine i told them either take out a couple of pallets or take them all out,at the end they took 2 pallets out
I know where you are in SC! Spent 38 hours there waiting on a load to New York during the lockdown, never got loaded. That Muellers is the absolute worst.
Dang what a cluster in the beginning with that shipper!!! Glad to see you made it to your destination and I’m hoping it wasn’t to long before they let you go and hopefully you’ll be able to find a decent backhaul home and not get messed with like that last company did!!!
Your rate con should have the net weight of the load. Hold the broker to that weight.
You always keep 75ft on chain in your cargo compartment. You won't believe how fast they'll fix the problem when you threaten to "unload" the trailer yourself 😂
Greeeeeeeedy shipping companies! Stuff as much as we can on trucks and hope the drivers don't notice!
I've been running reefer for years, and I can't count the number of times I've run into this same issue. But they always cut the load, because frankly, they have to. If they try to insist you run illegally, it opens them up to state/federal fines, just for trying to ASK you to.
Either way, like a lot of other people here have already said, your patience with this shipper was top notch.
Be safe, man. Love watching your channel!
I get the feeling they didnt want to do shit! Great job being assertive to get it fixed!
Love the music you had playing during your drone time. That would truly be some good cruising music.
Thats funny they "readjusted the weight" like they don't know 80,000 is the absolute cutoff for a legal load unless you have a overweight permit. Next time i'd double check what their plan is when you need to return to the shipper it would've saved some time just to make sure they aren't just gonna "move a pallet around".
Budweiser weighs you on the way in, just make sure your tanks are full on way in
My company truck (2024 Freightliner full of fuel with empty fry van) weighs 34,500lbs. So I can only haul 45,500 maximum. I’ve had to explain that can’t be over 80k to customers numerous times.
My company pays (willingly) for scaling anything over 30k fright weight. It not only affects my CSA score, it affects theirs too.
Stay safe,and keep on truckin.
👍✌️
My company plastic fantastic Volvo VNL760 with a 53 Utility 3000R reefer trailer and half empty fuel tanks weighs around 34600 which always allow me to haul dry van loads ( beer, water , dog food and Home Depot wood 🪵) in case I can’t get the reefer load.. It takes me up to half an hour to balance it though 😅
I was about to say the same thing. I drive a 19 international. Dry van and full fuel is about 35,000
Used to work as blue beacon and we had guys come in all the time from the warehouses to use our cat scale at ~83,000 pounds.
I remember one guy was at 87,000 and he asked me "if I slide my tandems back do you think that would help?", I said, "I don't think so Tim."
That place is an absolute hot mess. And I love the way the second lady said "we ship 46+ all the time, I"ll show you" but never came back with a 46K BOL.
Hauling Anheuser Busch , petfood or water those loads are usually 46000 on the aeros. Some people have sliding 5th wheels. Folks should have an on-site scale. I drove a Cascadia. People working in shipping should be made aware of DOT regs.
Surprised you don't use the Cat scale app, stay safe out there.
Damn Justin. What a nightmare load! What you got thrown at you was wild. As always, your attitude is impeccable! Wish truckers were treated better: appreciate professionalism to the trade, provide safe, ample parking, respect your time (strict HOS requirements) and more. In a past life, we never held up drivers to break down pallets. Unbroken trailer seal issued by shipper then acknowledged by receiver upon arrival proves load not tampered with while in carrier's possession.
Hey there it has Ben a long time since I have seen you all how is trucking life hope your family is doing well
from my experience, if you see a parking area right by the checkin office, park first before going in to the gate
You can get 46klbs, but depends on truck, trailer. I do 46k lbs all day with dry van and a 2022 international LT small sleeper.
Agreed. My current Freightliner Cascadia (2024), as well the previous one I drove (2021) weighed 33,700 will fully loaded fuel tanks. I never had a load over 46k, but pretty close a few times (45,700 and 45,400). Fortunately, I’ve learned to NOT completely fill my fuel tanks before going to a shipper when the load info says the weight of the load is over 44,000 lbs. because sometimes they load weight doesn’t include the weight of the pallets.
The only way to get that weight on it is with utility trailer they are very light . I got slammed with 47600 lb load from florida last week , paper work said 40000 TQL load , shredded plastic in boxes not a fun day !
I guess he's still waiting for that green light 🟢
I work for a manufacturer and have loaded 100's of trucks. I have had the same load pass with some carriers and fail with others. It depended on the trailer and how beefy the rear was. But! We would still unload a couple of pallets so the driver could be on their way.
BTW, the overall weight was good. Just the weight over the rear axle was over.
Unless you are registered for more than 80k pounds in certain states or obtain an overweight permit. These crazy shippers man I tell you. Then they don’t want to take responsibility for their error.
You get charged by the pound for what you are overweight. Also, the APU exception is 400lbs in some states and 550lbs in other states. Some states dont have this such as NC. This is only good on an axle, NOT for being over 80k pounds. Hope this helps.
Very helpful thank you
17k per axle, 12k on the steers.
Alaska we have 13,200, 38500, 38,500 on trailer
Still don't want you over 80,000
Prolly let you fly with 500lbs over 80,000
@samfonov You guys also have those double 48's, don't you?
@@Aazmodeus we can do double 45s
double 48s and double 53s are illegal, but i have seen em
You have to explain it to folks VERY SLOWLY these days! They just don’t get it! 😂
Used to be the biggest headache hauling paper, even under gross was a pain to balance axles
Pitney Bowes in Oregon wouldn't even secure their loads for us, but would security seal them so the load would always shift. Just refused to haul for them anymore after the 3rd time it happened.
They were attempting to BS you and intimidate you to take it.
Yeah that’s why I always weigh over 40,000 so I don’t have no surprises at the scale house but that’s a good catch Justin
@@Doug-gp2qw10,000 off? 😮
I'll weigh anything over 25k, you never know....
Glad you stood your ground.
Justin you are 100% correct and I can guarantee that no other driver is doing it either.
My 2016 Peterbilt with a full double sleeper and Wabash trailer weigh 32k + change with full tanks. I haul 47k + loads all the time. That being said, they should let you know the weight before booking (broker) or ask you how much you can haul (shipper). I am still amazed after all this time that shippers AND consignees still can't get their *stuff* together! Keep the shiny side up!
I agree I haul 46 everyday and Justin is saying ain’t no way yes it is. To do it justice i drive a “aero truck” but completely agree with the ladies.
Agreed!! I haul water loads over 47K. I know ahead of time so my aero Freightliner with enough gas does the trick.
But what was the total weight? Unless you have drop axles, you can't be over 80k, period.
@@mistermo360 47 + 32 = ?
get the cat scale app and you will never have to get the scale ticket unless you need it. or talk to the person on the intercom. They really need to hire people who understand there job. that is just ridiculous.
"We send that or more all the time. Here, I'll show you!" then proceeds to not show you bc she knows its bs lol🤣
😂🙏🏽
W9 is one of the heaviest trucks. Most of group I run with have w9 and 3k heavier than my detroit 379 pete. Full fuel I can roll 48 net if loaded correctly. Most companies I work with stipulate in contracts must be capable of 44 net. Very seldom ever see one over 40. Important to know empty weights no matter what your truck combo is.
Dang 😯
Of course that's assuming bol has correct weight. I'll forgive a couple hundred off but have seen thousands off. Like they didn't think I'd notice.
I can scale 45,750 with my W9 275 600wb & Utility Reefer 50ft Trl & when 😊I purchased overweight
Justin, make the broker pays you something for the trip!!
And retention time!
The office is straight up admitting to illegal practices!
I admire your patience.
It just shows being mellow is the way to go. Be an all pissed off then get you nowhere stay cool my friend
Part of the education of drivers is the revealing of bad players, DOT needs informed
EXACTLY, Dot should be given this recording that they're a public nuisance company overloading trucks ⚠️
Wow they laugh about it because they don't have to deal with the scales crazy
I was loaded with 2800 extra pounds of Grapes years ago, the Shipper said they were closed to just deal with it. so I went to the Next National Truck stop and sold Grapes for 8 hours and made a clean 1400 for my time.
lol 😂
When I drove for Big G Express,we hauled 46k out of that facility several times a week,KW T680,53' Van and we were 79,500
Wow 😯 that’s crazy
Our fleet hauls over 46000 all the time!
A real trucker checks weights before committing to a load you can’t haul.
This part.
Clearly that shipper is careless and you called them out. You can tell by the attitude they got with you.
46,000 lbs of feathers is still 46,000 lbs!
Company I drive for routinely takes that much weight and more. We have T680 with a 54" sleeper,, my truck itself weighs under 16,500lbs, with my dry van its a total of 29,000lbs, less when I pulled a Conestoga.
You have to keep in mind that depending on the amount of pallets, they could be loading 48ft trailer with that much weight. That would be legal. But I doubt that. They seem really sketchy, and she was pretty rude, and argumentative .
Yep , 48 feet trailer with a day cab could probably be legal especially if they don’t cross state lines . Most Coke, Anheyser Busch and Pepsi trucks have that set up .. but then again this place is sketchy af 😅
They always act like you’re the problem but they’re the ones loading trucks illegally overweight.
I experienced this recently where a shipper loaded me 5,380 lbs overweight. They told me they couldn’t take any off because that’s what the customer ordered. I stood my ground and the manager told me “there are plenty of drivers that would happily take the load over weight and they load trucks overweight all the time” 😆
Bottom line is they ended up taking off two pallets of product but it was a huge hassle and cost me a lot of time.
That's good to know because I'm going to contact the feds and they could come in and set up some portable scales outside your business.
And therefore they could come in and ask why are you constantly overloading trucks and they can find the company.
Overweight on a tandem (slid wrong direction as a rookie) in IN cost me over $700. I learned to do it right and REWEIGH after sliding.
I was over weight one time by thousand lbs with half tank of fuel. Went back to shipper told them about it & they said they couldn't do anything about it. I had 2 options which was to drive the way it was & take back roads Or wait until morning and see if upper management would be willing to take a pallet off. I took the back roads.
If you got caught they may be able to add a fine for avoiding scales.
Buddy your descriptions of your videos get me every time! I always watch your videos cause love the entertainment of your content. You put your family and faith first above all else and stick to your guns
Great videos as always but that drone talent is CRAZY good!! Thanks for all you do! Jim.
Thanks 👍 so much
Also it doesn’t go the the owner unless your a Owner Operators so if your a Driver you get the Ticket.
The word for this video is "" hassle "". Hassle getting loaded. Hassle getting unloaded. For years many of us drove all night and had to lump the load. Lumpers never made sense either. Always wondered why the receiver couldn't just take the load off and count it, break it down and put it away. Isn't that part of warehouses? I'm being a little funny about this. I drove for 38 years. I tried to stay out of food warehouses. Everyone would say "" blah blah blah ""--""its your load "". No, it's your load. We're paid by the broker/ shipper to bring it here. Yeah. It's a good life. But, I'm semi retired. Be well and safe travels
Very much a Hassle
I call BS no one loads over 40 thousand pounds in a trailer legal!
You've never worked as Yard Jockey/Spotter/Switcher/Yard Dog. I work at an animal feed plant here in Missouri. 45k-52k is a routine, fortunately we only move the trlrs 1.5 miles away over to their local warehouse for storage & distribution.
I get 46-47k all the time, I just don't drive a hood truck
Over 40k all day every day
I have a Columbia with a combo flatbed 50k is my limit.
Should be 44K Reefer 46K dry van But it can vary based on year of trailer (Obviously the tractor plays a role) Driver w/ a big 600 Cummins has an extra 450-600 in drivetrain to account etc. Year of the tractor Size of tanks Lotta variances to account for really Good Chance maxed out that it won’t scale by axle (Especially if one sets the tractor brake on the cat scale) Guys need to d/l the cat app
It looks like Justin you got one of them old freight loads from hell, they're gonna mess around with you a little bit before you get ready to go, I've had quite a few of those myself.
These shippers should know on those heavy loads, they should be asking when it's a different carrier to come in there and pick it up, how heavy of a load can they haul.
Had a shipper tell me once that it was ok to be overweight because there was no weight stations between them and receivers. I explained very politely I didn't give a damn the trailer wasn't moving until legal. After about 30 minutes of inner office politics they removed the extra weight. Some peoples children
8:38 How many times do yall here that B.S "we do it all the time" lol
Dang I forgot to tell you that Justin if I knew you were going there, check in what you got a walk up there then they call you. But what I would’ve done his check-in when you get there because sometimes there’s a possibility you could get inside early
Thanks brother next time man 🙏🏽😎
Hey Justin that shipper sucks. what happened to the concrete loads?
He gave them up.
the only way to fix these shipping companies that overload trucks is tell the person at the shipping office you will call DOT and they will make them offload until the load is legal weight,or completely reject to load if the shipper refuses to cut the load down to a legal weight
I’ve never done van. My cascadia with a 72” sleeper and headache rack with chains, binders tarps etc with a 48’ aluminum flatbed weighs 30,720 pounds with 150 gallons of fuel. Those vans must be heavy
Justin, I'm still SMH and LOL 🤣🤣🤣. They actually thought rearranging the load would...what...make the weight magically disappear??? I mean, I'm dyslexic and even I can run the numbers and know Nothing's gonna change that situation😂. Worse, they try and justify it being ok bcuz they do it all the time. Hmmmm, hope the right person/people watch this video and take a close look into this company. Truckers Beware 😲😲😲. Great video, enjoyed it as Always. Safe travels, can't wait for the next one. God bless you 🙏.
Justin, great video. While I do not drive, I have always wondered what goes on behind the scenes. Thanks for explaining it all. With the new rules for drones starting soon, will you be able to continue shooting videos? Some very nice shots of this area, amaizng how big that warehouse is! Thanks.
Thats pretty cool. I wish they had out 15 years ago when I started by hauling reefer and also back then there was no GPS maps. It was all paper maps and paper logs
should be a scale in side ware house to weigh pallets, i also fuel before I go get a load
That warehouse which loaded your trailer must be using some sort of new math.
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂. It's called.. Learner's Math 101. The New math for Dummies 😊.
Public school education common core math.
A Justin look like it's time for you too get some mobile scales on your tractor truck.
That lady at Walmart knows she's lying. 44 thousand is standard maximum loaded weight in a sleeper truck, just like you said. I, on the other hand, can take 50 thousand in a day cab hauling dry bulk cement. That's 1 fuel tank and the passenger seat removed. Lol!😂😂
Riding solo 😂🙏🏽
Actually the USA standard unit is 40k but it's heavily abused to get free shipping on cargo above the standard shipping unit ✌🏼
There running whats ultra light trucks. Basically stripped down trucks so they can run heavier loads. Mom did it for Schneider for a year. They called it "heavy haul" and I was like heavy is 48,000 or over as a flatbedder.
Generally when you get an overweight ticket they charge you by the pound which is usually 5 cents per pound not a 100 dollar ticket believe me I wished
I go to C&S all the time 43,500 no more than 45,000
That’s what I’m saying 🤷🏽♂️🙏🏽
She is full of it they don’t overload all the time
Math is hard I'd warn other truckers about this shady warehouse
I don’t trust those brokers or shippers . A lot of times the invoice will say one weight when the actual weight is more. At least two pallets need to come off.
Hey Justin
Neat deal there from Dog Watch.
Three thousand lbs. over are a driver's livelihood for life it means your way of earning your family's income man!
Dam i hate it when that happens piss's me off when i have to go and have the company take some product's out to make it legal to haul. But it's a breeze when i haul heavy wide load's and they pay for everything. I am fixing to move a D11 Dozer and those thing's are freaking huge. And will require several trip's cause it's to wide to haul. If the load in the dry trailer is heavy i will take a day cab and haul the heavy load with that. And i will stay at hotel's. And if i have Jessie she will look for one's that has pool's and hell i do the same thing if it's just me. We just run the APU when we are about to go to sleep. We will have it on if we are watching movie's. And it does excellent charging the batterie's. And i think it was either Justin or Austin that left the light's on for the trailer. And they both thought i was in the truck. And i thought they was still doing what i asked them to. And i got in the truck the next day and was like WTH batterie's dead. And i was like got in the back turned on the Green Apu and waited for like 5 minute's. And it charged the batterie's good that the KW started quick. And i was like thank god for that thing cause i would be having to get somebody from the shop to come over to jumpstart. Good luck whoever win's the fuel card that would be handy to those that need's it. We don't need it and we got money and we get paid $$$$$$$ doing load's. And Jessie was like that's cool. She is making homemade burrito' casserole it's dam good making 3 cake pan's of it. Nana is helping also and so is Justina my middle son's GF. Him and my other 2 son's are on the way back to the company to drop off the lawn equipment and then head on back home. Ha ha at 42;28 u have the same Blu Tooth speaker i use all the time in the dump truck and dam cab cause they don't have blu tooth stereo's. And it belonged to my youngest daughter and she was like dam dad where's my boombox and i was like dammit left it in the dump truck. So i went to walmart and brought her another one. Jesse just set the stuff in the oven and it will be ready in 45 minute's. Nana was like glad u got a big oven to set 3 cake pan's in with no issue's.
Maybe if the DOT sat outside the shippers depo & pulled over trucks for a couple of days & realised all the Trucks were over weight they would then deal with the actual shipping company.
Proud of you son.
Hello 👋 hope you get it fixed
😎🙏🏽🏆
I had a plain Jane '06 9400 that weighed 22500 (no APU, or nutt'n) could barely haul 46k, my '16 prostar was over 25k by itself, wouldn't take over 43k, my daycab pete's were @17.5k (but all I pulled with them was local car parts
Wow! My truck only weighs 20,800 lbs that's with 200 gallons fuel, an apu and pump bolted on my frame.🤔
