When in Doubt – Scale it Out!

Here’s a quick update from Nussbaum’s Safety team for March. Mitch hits on the importance of scaling loads, and Kevin has a Funk-y fact for quickly accessing any truck or trailer registration.

When in Doubt – Scale Your Load

There were several overweight issues in March that could have been avoided by going to a CAT scale and weighing. Mitch Davis comments, “One of the fines was $2,200 plus the cost of re-working the freight at the scale.”

W-O-W. The cost of a CAT scale is $17. We can scale nearly 130 loads for the price of that one $2,200 fine!

Kevin’s Funk-y Facts

You can access any truck or trailer registration from the LiNK app. Credit to Sydney Swords for this helpful information.

“We just had an issue where a driver needed the registration for a leased trailer he was pulling. He sat for hours waiting for one of us to get it to him.

But, all you need to do is go to the LiNK app and download the PDF they would need to show an officer.”
