when I started with Roberts express had ud 1800 load limited was 6,500 lbs
went in to a place , if you have landing gear on your unit always put them down, tell dock worker that you are not ready to load until you come back in , that was noted for loading heavy they tried to put on 10,000 lbs
on a load that was only 2,500 lbs, paper work said 2,500 lbs, so went out to get ready
to leave and to put up landing gear up couldn't said this load is more than 2,500 lbs
how to you know , can't get my landing gear up, so take off the load or take off 2 pallets
they said if you can't take this load we don't have a load for you
I have always had a c unit but they were always over spec
fl60 , was 9,500, western star was 13,500
sometimes they would call will you take this load at a c rate, would say d rate can do
they would say only c rate, I 'm only a c and I don't' have to carry that
different was a few dollars more
after finding that I was only truck a round they would come up to a d ratents be
always know what your load limits are as some states will hit you with heavy fines
and you pay, as you are person that's name is on the paper work
