I don't know what it is but lately we've had more than usual amount of over on an axle trailers. I would say that the slower it gets the worse people's work ethic and attitude gets and it's starting to show up. Last one we had was 14,900 frt. trailer and we were over on an axle. You can't ASSume by the weight on the manifest that it's light and doesn't need to be weighed. Beside just scanning the weights be sure the heavy trailer is in the frt. not just by paperwork but by the physical weight. We've caught a few of these and had to swap the set. They were hooked correctly as per paperwork but something wasn't acct'd for on the back trailer and it was heavier than the frt. Know what your truck with an empty set weighs and you can have an idea what you should gross before weighing.
Remember also that it's a little slow and they won't mind trimming a few employees on things that would get overlooked if it was very busy.
I saw a UPSF wreck theother day where the rear pup overturned with Haz-mat. the cargo was scattered and it was all 55gal drums of corrosive. There's a good chance from what is posted that the heavy trailer might have been in the back. You know that's going all on the driver.
