You will be a senior manager with one of the big quarry companies before you know it

yer with a brown moustache

[2369_steiff]

You would get away with that but be careful on axle weights most load rear too much you need weight on them front axles

[Wilkindy]

Some places ive been would tell u to go back and tip some out. The weighbridge staff could get bollocked

[arn0ldntus]

What happened to the other 880kg?????

[Vin0ffeyer]

If it’s on it’s gone

[KIMDECE]

Should have taken it. They would ignore a 1/4 - 1/2 ton over anyway.

[Partell.Xion]

Well you're maybe right but as a new driver with all the nonsense still fresh in my head regards the do's/don't I went with the law!

you went with law this time but next time it’s the dark side

[neclianSky]

I shift muck and dry aggregates u make the call cause it’s u who’s the steering wheel attendant

[PATTERLDO]

You'd have a fun time muckshifting.

[Partell.Xion]

You'd have a fun time muckshifting.

Haha I've actually done that! luckily had some top machine drivers who weighed it for us! Don't think my scales work as they always show -1650kg or something when the body is level!

[timStroons]

It will do because the scales don’t work until it’s raised

he’s prob not even raised his body so after doing all that it turns out he was overloaded after all????!!

To the tune of nearly 2t

Correct! always thought they were not working, been told to say No Scales too by the boss!

top machine drivers? Where did you find them? Not on muckaway i'm sure.

[IANNDERSE]

All Cemex own quarry bridges automatically capture weights, so you would not have been allowed to leave.

[Thedjin]

That's totally fine

[JohNette]

If it’s on it’s gone

[ianty-2370]

Your allowed 1% over

[phmon]

Its always been 5%

[damieuxie]

Generally speaking you would be ok 100-200kgs over however you are the driver and it's your license. Do what is right for you. Some will happily take the risk for 500kgs over but the way I see it is you ain't paid for taking risks. Good on you for sticking to your guns. It's your license.

put it this way I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. If they wanted more weight then get an artic. I can never understand the risks some take for no extra pay at the end of it. Your truck is plated for 32t that's it. Keep trucking friend you will find your way in this business over time.

[kio_nestor]

If you loaded out of a McGee site Tom would go mad if you were under 40 tons.

[Bayzo-will]

I hope you are not serious

[tucke+sche]

If you got a digger driver to take 100 lgs off you have found a good one,100 kgs over ain’t worth worrying about unless the quarry won’t print the ticket. But u will soon learn with muckshifting u maybe 17ton then the next bucket ur have a ton over and you won’t be able to keep pissing aabout trying to get the digger driver to take some out

[mellieFirst]

Personally if its on its gone but ur the 1 in charge

[kirbin-guy]

Just go out at 31900 on your truck weigher simple !!!!

[dale.Slash]

I’m sure there’s a 200 kg give , don’t quote me but laws seem to change yearly or seems that way

[vincMadd]

We're ye in a 26t tipper?

[rob_volvo]

if they let you out the gate go !! If it’s on it’s gone foot down drive

[Dunky.Matrix]

You got upto 5% over without a fine

[DevinTSonn]

You won’t be there long with that attitude

[simon.carch]

I’d say if you have a ticket saying 32,100 that would imply you knowingly left the quarry over weight. Better to be safe then sorry

[hopper]

Good for you. A lot of weighbridges won't print a ticket if you're over.
To be fair it's doubtful you'd be in trouble for 100kg.
However, if you do get stopped it looks better to be under than over.

[benPenn]

My view is, if your using scales or experience then a couple hundered kg isn't an issue. If a weighbridge says you're overweight then dvsa will screw you if caught

[JemBoBorg]

Wait till you get to the weighbridge and you ring up 36500 and the gate man looks at you like your a lunatic

[Malfo2365]

oops I think my scales “might” be out

[Nigeloomi]

If it's washed coal you used to be to get away with it if not stick to your weight limit you will end up playing the fines

[Derekel]

Being a new driver my advice to you is to talk to other drivers running in the area. Most aggregate firms won't let you out over weight, muck a way jobs are a whole different ball game lol. You refuse to take that 100k you and your lorry will be banned from the site.
