    Load weighed 7680 lbs, then on the way home had DOT follow me for a couple of miles, my guess is that he radioed in my plate number checking to see if I was out of my territory, I'm only good for a 150 km radious from home base.

    Some good and bad points of dealing with Jack, I weigh my own loads at a remote scale about 1 mile from Jacks yard which is available 24/7, I can bring in loads anytime day or night and have use of the laoder to offload and he pays cash.

    The down side is that Jack will not accept cars that I have stuffed for extra weight and I have to slice a hole into the fuel tanks which is not an issue.

    I'm using a pnuematic chisel with a panel cutter with an airline tapped into the air reservoir on the truck.

    Now to hijack my own thread, found this Maytag twin cylinder engine on the way home, I always try to take a new route every trip.
