Make sure you scale

I drove for a company that hauled beer. If not going over the scales they ran 53,000 lbs ,but if they went over the scales they were only 52,760. Its was rediculous cus running the local loads no scales within 10 miles. But going over the scales you had to check somewhere. Needless to say I moved a lot beer by hand.

Advice on heavy load please

I have 52,900 all the time. Beer shippers are the cheapest. Make sure how much fuel you had when you weighed it. If you were low your gonna have problems.

Prescription meds and drug testing.

I have to take painkillers ffrom a drunk driver doing 70 in a 35 and hit me head on. I take one every 4 hours for pain. I have never tested positive for anything. There's not enough hydrlcodone to make you test positive for anything. You would have to take 10.
