how do you drive through a weight station ?

admin — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:20:24 +0000

im about to take a job over the road, the one thing im scared to death of are weight stations.

when entering a weight station do you stop? do you keep driving at a slow pace? what about if there are three different lanes open what one do you go to?

and assume there is no sign to walk you through the processes. then what?

It sounds like you are either a new driver or haven’t been OTR before, but don’t worry. If you are a new driver with a reputable carrier, you will have a trainer to walk you through the process, but if you haven’t been OTR, get to talking to other drivers to get more tips than I can give you.

Weigh stations will depend on the state. Each state has its own policy & methods for commercial vehicle enforcement above & beyond federal minimums, but start by keeping your log book current, permit book updated, & your vehicle in good working condition. Also, do some preplanning, so you can prepare for each weigh station (Rand McNally Truckers Road Atlas & the Truck Stop Directory has symbols where the scales are at).

Watch for the signs when you come up on a weigh station. If it is closed, have a green light on your Prepass (windshield mounted transponder for scales), or if weigh in motion sign gives you the bypass, you can keep trucking along. If you do see the open sign, have a red or no light on Prepass, or instructed by Weigh in Motion, you must comply & enter the weigh station. Follow all lights & signs when you enter. Go a little below posted limits to see what the scalemaster wants you to do. If you are light, you may recieve the bypass or creep across the scale at 3-5mph, but if you have a heavy or badly balanced load, they may want you to stop on the scale. As for the lanes, follow the lights or as in some scales, like WA & NC, choose the shortest or the line that exposes your best side, if both sides are opened up.

If they want you to go around back, follow their instructions. Have your bills, driver’s license, medical card, permit book, & log book with you when you go into the scale house. Be nice to the officer & they will be more lenient on you. Sometimes, like last week at the Kewanee MS scale, they red lighted all drivers for a license, registration, & IFTA spot check, but other times, it is your lucky day for a Level I DOT inspection, which checks paperwork, lights, brakes, etc. As long as everything is current, you won’t have any problems. if you push your luck or ignore problems, that will be a different story. Good luck at OTR!!

How many pallets fit in a 48′ and 53′ truck?

admin — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:20:16 +0000

I’m learning the trucking business and want to know how many pallets will fit in a 48 ft (basic dry van) and a 53 ft truck. Also, if you do know can you break it down – as in I know you can ‘pinwheel’, go straight in, and put one row sideways. I also know some trailers are 102" and I think 98" so that makes a difference too. Is there anyway to find this info and have it all make sense? Thanks

The standard size for a pallet is 48×45. In a 53 foot truck you can fit 26 pallets in total, 13 on each side. double stacked that’s 52.
In a 48 foot truck its 24 skids, 12 on each side. double stacked that’s 48. This is will all pallets loaded side ways. The pin wheel method is only worth doing if the load is double stacked and unstableand needs to be loaded tightly. If the load is stable enough loading them all on sideways is just fine and not so time consuming.
Good Luck.
