[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 587285, member: 1957"] Is my last point really idiotic? Every package that goes into a trailer has a big bar code on the shipping label. Encoded in that big bar code are things like: -shipper name; -receiver's name; -weight (since we ship by weight); -shipping charges; -date shipped The company can isolate any one of those alphanumeric fields to determine total wieght on a trailer. Simulation uses destination encoded in the bar code to aid in flow control all the time. Not bad for a "troll" that supposedly doesn't work for UPS but seems to know alot about the inner workings. PS- no, we don't have scales. We will never have scales because to have scales would acknowledge that there is a problem or potential for a problem of being overwieght. If the company acknowledges a problem then they are forced to deal with it. Also.....the company is too cheap to install scales. [/QUOTE]
