The swirling, eerie mist is vapor from the French fry cookers in this plant, My other half wanted to post them. She thought the steam added an interesting touch.

I don't find it embarrassing {actually it's a really bad dock to bump, blind side back all the way}. But this kind of stuff keeps me busy-every trucking company has these
incidents 24-7. But the driver of this truck is sharp as a marble also.----Great photos RZ.

I hung one up on a state scale in Colorado once... Oops. I did manage to get backed up and go around. They gave me a pass because I had the original axle out slip when I loaded in Trinidad.

I high centered a 48 foot 50t Load King at a jobsite LOADED, with nobody around, no radio reception and no phone near, ended up had to use the trailer to raise the truck frame enough to get jacks under it and raise the truck for cribbing to get out, four hours later my boss was furious it took me so long. Trailer was a fold down neck square back so NO unloading going to happen.

So buying a piece of paper makes it all good? Or do you have to reconfigure the trailer to make them happy?

Another piece of paper after a structure survey. Three days. I knew better, just trying to get ahead of the game on things lol. It’s been years since I had a run in of that magnitude!

So the 22K over was just a technicality? How many axles?
Junkyard
Senior Member
8 axles. I would call it more than a technicality. Thankfully he only wrote me up for the weight I was over my original permit. If he’d have busted me back down to legal in KS, 85,500, that would have been very very expensive. I’m sure it’s several grand.
