Just think how much they are spending on crane rental!!
After I finished there drove to Delta, Ohio and picked up my next load. 10 rolls of steel. Got the load on, tied down, and tarped then went to the scale. My drive axles were 860 pounds overweight. All together I was 160 pounds overweight on the gross weight. Sooooo I had to go back, untarp, unsecure the load and move a couple rolls around. When that was done I re-secured the load and re-tarped it and went back to the scale. Fortunately the re-arranging did the trick. The weight on all the axles was fine but I was still overweight on the gross. That's ok because after the fuel burned off in about 150 miles the weight would be under 80,000 pounds. Just can't fill the tanks. It doesn't look like much but believe me, IT IS!! I was so exhausted all I did was take a well deserved long hot shower and fall into bed. Slept like a rock!!
