[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 587348, member: 18471"] When I started in North Jersey they used to say "low balance" all the time, it was the rare occasion they said "paid". Someone explained to me that this was because UPS has gotten so many more tractors than when ez-pass system was set up but they didn't increase the replenishment amount. I'm not sure if it can tell your pulling a "set", the tags I've seen that weren't in the holder on the fairing said "5 axle". I just sort of figured UPS paid the 5 axle rate for bobtail, tractor w/pup (3 axle), tractor and tandem trailer (4 axle) or doubles, (5 axle). Seeing as how long the lines are for the cash tolls, the savings in time and wages was worth the difference. I also thought UPS might have gotten a package deal, supposedly they have a deal like that with NYC for tickets. I've seen pups that have come from OHIO with weights on the seal control slips. I figured this was for setting up triples. Yes they are too cheap to install scales, also then the additional time taken to put a set together with the heavier one in front. Although like previously mentioned, weights are on packages, if packages are scanned the approx weight of the load could be calculated. We use percentages to put doubles together, higher (and hopefully heavier trailer in front) although you could have a trailer that was 100% styrofoam peanuts and another that was 50% nuts and bolts or paper, guess which one would be heavier? Maybe you've never driven a set with the heavier trailer in the rear. It will push you all around, you'll stop check the snubber and wonder why the "wiggle wagon" is wiggling a little too much. Then you stop and switch the trailers and the problem is solved! This was with two 100% trailers, (and I know they were 100%, not "hub 100% = true 60%", I sealed them) [/QUOTE]
