I haven't been to any shops that use them.

Thanks. I've used the beads or powder balancers in the past with good results. Haven't seen them in a while though. I don't have an issue of throwing weights, I have stick on weights, that I cover with a strip of gorilla duct tape. Never lost any. My concern has been after a good balance, the...

Thanks. They look like they would solve the problem of off center mounting, an issue I have often noticed and wondered about. Auto lug nuts are tapered to self center, but truck lug nuts are just flat on the back.

Does anyone use these http://www.tru-bal.com/ ? What is your experience with them? How they claim to work makes sense, I have often wondered about this issue and it is supposed to correct it.

I was hoping you meant there, tired of the detour. Thanks

Indy to I-80/94?

There is a Hino that's not compatible. 06? 07? Can't recall which model/ year.

I can see where "some" carriers might see that as a way to expect more than they should from a driver. I've known several dispatchers over the years on salary who got burnt out and quit because the carrier expected them to work 70 - 75 hours a week, while paying a salary based on 40 - 60 hours...

That is why a driver I know is at Zipp. The truck wasn't compatible with elogs. I'm sure there are other companies that run paper logs as well, maybe someone else will chime in with some others.

Yes. If you run elogs, you should/ have to carry a paper log book for a back up.

I know Zipp is still on paper logs. Only one I know for sure, but I'm sure there are others. If you run legal, it doesn't matter if it is elogs or paper.

In the past year, I have only had to scale a load once. I usually am not even close to my weight limit.

Only when the load is close to legal limits, then I will scale to verify the weight and the correct amount of weight per axle. I have a 2 axle ( 33,000GVWR ) straight truck.

If it is a 2 axle truck, then it will most likely be 33,000 or less.

If you have a particular straight truck in mind, and accessible, check the GVWR in the door jamb

Depends... 2 axle or 3 axle? In which state?

No. You shouldn't pick and choose which laws ( or court orders) to follow.

The only glitch that I have noticed so far, is that some fuel stops/ truck stops will show on the map in the wrong location. But the prices (with the discounts) have been accurate.
