BOL said 44,189 lbs. We scaled out at 88,000 lbs gross in Florida. DOT shut us down on the spot, driver couldn’t leave the scale, and a “hot load” that paid $2,500.00 turned into 26 days, a transload in my own lot, and almost $28,000 the customer had to pay for one container.
This is what happens when you trust the paperwork instead of verifying the weight yourself. Watch the full breakdown, and let this be the lesson that saves you from making the same mistake I did.
DM me “WEIGHT” if you want to talk through how to build a verification step into your process before it costs you a load like this one. 📲
