Lawrenceville, GA

I made it back in time to see Wicked - which was absolutely incredible - but, it wasn't easy. We arrived at the shipper this morning around 7am. We backed up to the dock and waited to get loaded. They put a few bales of scrap metal in our trailer, then some local drivers pulled in, so they left us to go unload them. A few more bales on our trailer, then some cardboard on another trailer. Yeah, take your time guys, we don't have anywhere to be. So, about two hours later, we're loaded and the guy tells us to pull around to the scale and then we can pick-up our paperwork in the office. Great, we're about 500lbs under gross weight, which is 80k lbs. That's too close, so I ask her if we can get individual axle weights in addition to the gross weight. Sure enough, we're about 3k lbs over on our trailer axles. We can't slide our tandems back far enough to accommodate that weight, so they have to fix it by removing some weight (much faster for us) or redistributing the weight by reloading the entire trailer (please, noooo!). They ended up taking two bales off the rear of the trailer, which came out to a little over 4k lbs, so we were good to go. Three hours to get loaded put us a little behind schedule, but I made it home around 4:30pm and Steve continued on to Alabama. All in all, a good start to the weekend.
