So yesterday I was at a local sand and gravel pit to replace the slips printer in the scale house.
Either the loaders really knows their loads, or the drivers really know their load gauges. About 10 trucks came through in the 1.5 hours I was there, all came in around 30,000-31,000 pounds and all of them left between 79,500 and 79,800 pounds. All were tilt-dump, no live bottoms.
I already don't like being around tilt dumps because they just look horribly unstable. Now that I know they push every pound of the GCVWR, I really dont like being around them.
How much do ya'll push the weight with the tankers?
