[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 785900, member: 18471"] The labels on packages have the actual weight on them, (even though shipping rates are rounded up). Each package is scanned, (hopefully), the software could be developed that along with tracking, the actual weight of the load could be known. Of course since the costs would be more than any fines, this isn't gonna happen anytime soon. It's like parking tickets in NYC, just the cost of doing business. I've picked up trailers from NYC and have found about 15 tickets on the rear door handle, most of them said, "unattended trailer". I think everytime a cop came around the corner he put a ticket on it. I guess it helps his "productivity", (I was told by a cop that's what they call it instead of quotas.) I took a set of trailers out once, both were 100%, I could smell the Omaha Steaks, I guess one had considerably more steaks than the other one. The back trailer was all over the place, felt like the snubber wasn't working. I finally swapped them around in a rest area and the set rode fine after that. Scales would be nice, I have seen weights on some seal controls from trailers coming through OH, I figured they weighed them before they built triples there. Any OH drivers want to comment? [/QUOTE]
