Last week, I was over axle on my tandems by 560 lbs. I had guessed the correct place to put the tandems on round one. The drives were legal and the only way to make the tandems legal was to take off a pallet.
I went back to the shipper, whom conincidentally was also another trucking company and explained that one of the pallets needed to be removed. I was quite surprised when one of the guys asked, "can you move the tandems to make it legal?" Now, I don't know about you guys but I was rather "miffed" I think he thought that since I was a blonde that I didn't know what I was doing.
I was quite pleased with myself when I handed him the scale ticket and he realized that the "good looking blonde" was actually RIGHT. Imagine that a three year driver who actually knows what's what?!?
Too funny. Wish I had a video camea of his expression when he realized that I was right. He was so determined to be able to "correct my misinterpretation." I almost made a remark "Well I guess after three years of driving I should know something huh?" Decided that his perplexed expression was enough satisfaction for me!
