Subject: Re: Throttled thursday Chat 12.01.1 by Ultraman on 2016/12/1 14:50:17 I'm very polite.......it throws people off, they don't know how to react to someone being nice to them....they are used to grumpy old white dudes and I try not to fall into that..........except when I'm dealing with Carrier Enforcement that just wrote us up for $550 big ones because of we were .74% off on the pusher axle weight on the KW. So if you are off they throw out the whole axle and then we are way over of course......I'm going to fight this one, that's bullshit........end of the month quotas....... The pusher axle is an axle that mounts between the front steer's and the tandom drive axle's on the tractor. It is supposed to carry 8% of the load. we were carrying only around 7.25% of the load. This is determined by down pressure that is set by a gauge and valve outside the tractor. (can't be in the tractor because then we could turn up the pressure if we get stopped) The are called cheater axles but that sounds like we are cheating which we are not..........much.........anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it...... Sun is shining but its cold out.......damn must be winter.......the tree is here and I need to get it in a bucket of water today........wow its all happening so fast....... Keep the shiny side up today Guru's........ |
