A lot of times the dispatcher will just sign off on manifests and say roll with it. I have seen some drivers refuse an over weight trailer and there is retribution to be paid even though it's never announced. You will be held several hours over or be told to go home we have nothing for you then or what ever else like maybe you have to work an extra day this week. You drivers know the game. Everybody tells us it's up to the driver, but that's in words only. Many a good people have been ran off from different companies for not towing the line.

Agreed. I like the out of sight out of mind philosophy. I just do my job and unless its something major i just mind my business and want to be left alone.

I promised never to take a lunch break if they would give me an assigned tractor with my name on the door.
You know how that worked out.

They gave you a tractor with this?

Would this apply if the kingpin is on the rear of the trailer?

So on a 53 that means what? About a half mile of tail swing?

The term "kingpin" is sexist anyway. What about the queens? Don't they get to have a pin named after them?
