I drove an 07 387 with the C-15 with the tanks topped and an empty trailer I was at about 11,500 Werners trucks only had 110 gallon tanks , but I did carry about 650 lbs of junk between by olympic weight set and bench stored on the catwalk in 2 pieces ,so I can't see you being that heavy on the steers if I wasn't .

I say it based on a cat scale.I had none of my stuff and full tanks with an empty benson on the back with the fifth wheel all the way to the rear.Empty total was 32020 with just over 13K on the steers.

It had to have been the either the way you were on the scale or the scale needed calibrating ....even cat scales screw up . But I would put hard cash on you not bweing over 11,500

Off the current topic, but I really think someone should take all of terrylamar's and all of mrgrim's post and put them up as a sticky to illustrate how two people can have two complete opposite dealings with the same company.
Not just TMC, but any company. I just think it would be good reading for noobs.

It could be a dud scale no way for me to know that.As for collecting post for good and bad with same co it sounds like a good idea to me.
So far as me and TMC,I just called the dealer in uniontown PA that has the shortnose from last week.I was told they soldered a resister into the speedo and replaced the TPS and the truck was done.I gotta say I dont trust the work that shop produces.The truck would stall and the guages did not work but the speedo would jump all over.I dont think a resister would fix that.TMC breakdown told me it should get a new computer as the data port under the dash did not work either.

It sounds like TMC is going to bring me to DM to get another truck and equipment.They want me to dead head the short nose in uniontown pa to indy then take a for sale long nose from indy to DM.They are working on getting me back to the truck in uniontown pa now.

 . A driver here should average anywhere from 800-1000 a week. If your only experience is in a van trailer you will do a 5 day orientation and got out with a trainer for a couple weeks.
