XPO | Crap Loading Procedures

[eBiTDa]

With a bunch of new dock workers in the system, receiving not only at home, but at other terminals, ass heavy trailers. The practice of building the trailer with descending weight (heavier on the nose, lighter to the rear), seems to be going out of fashion. I have spoken to not only brass but also many a new dockworker (some of these drivers are just as bad), it appears to be a "get it out the door and don't worry about it" attitude. Always sh¡ts and giggles till some one drops a set on a family venturing out on their first vacation.

Finding heavy awkward and long on the racks seems to be making a comeback also. Not only leading to damage to the HAL, but also anything below it. Once again, scorecard rules supreme.

Cram and jam 10 pounds of crap in s 5 pound bucket. Damages abound. Gotta fit it in one trailer. 110 percent you can do it

Trailers loaded well over 24000 pounds safe stack training said no more than 24000 period all they say it scaled another training gone dust in the wind

Safe stack trailer should never exceed #22,500, a safe stack set must be under #42,800. Anytime time your set is over 42 large, it is a good idea to start bitching.

So , the kite can only be 20,300 lbs. ? Hmmm....I wonder how often this is enforced?

In theory, if my lead is past twenty, I am not pulling a kite much pass seventeen.

When running line haul I scale everything and will take forever to rework it. And they know this and my sets are typically not an issue.

Only once did someone tell me to hook and get out of here. I started walking up front. A “ safer “ option suddenly presented itself.

That is why I roll my own.

I have scaled over 43k legally. Remember on a re-weight we will not lower the weight. If the shipper says it weight 2,500lbs and it re-weighted at 2,000lbs the 2,500lbs will still show on the manifest

Hopefully your tanks were full.

Yes they were full. I just glad I drive a 2011 truck because the new 2016 and newer truck would not have scaled this. There fifth wheels are mounted farther forward then the old freightliners

I watch the video and it has nothing to do with semi or pup trailers and everything to do with campers and trailers towed behind cars and pickups. Last I check 100% of the load weight is in front of the trailer tires.
