[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1338225, member: 6408"] Reminds me of yrs ago. We had customer-load pickup. Trailer docks were inclined, that is, you had to back down, hook and pull it out of a hole. Old friend-Model Mack, single axle. Hooked, squatted, let legs up (the old air/hydraulic), watch tractor sit on its haunches, pulled out in 1st gear (only 5-sps back then), groaned outta there and onto highway, crossed scale, got green light. About 2 miles down the road, flashing lights pulled me over. Scale guy: "You know you were overweight?" Me: "Well, you gave me the green light". Scale guy: "Well, we're so used to you guys being well-within limits I just punched green. You gotta come back, get ticket and download". It was 96,000 lbs on a 40'. I thot it pulled hard. Of course, with those old friend-Models, even an MT pulled hard. [/QUOTE]
