Scale Tickets
Topic 11311 | Page 2
What in the world were you hauling?
I believe alcohol,obviously no load locks. I believe daylight was the shipper..,hate picking up there..yard jockeys are jerks.
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

My suggestion, if you ever return to that shipper , considering what happened, I would not move until you are able to get inside the trailer and secure the load. I am really surprised they didn't airbag a load like that, at the least the last two pallets. You really took one on the chin for them.
I would also let your DM know what happened (referencing above for future reference), send them a copy of your original scale ticket proving you were legal, send this to your DM as a QC freeform macro so there is a record of it.

Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Hmmm I been through cabbage with 18,000lbs of boxed furniture And back out 90 all the way to Chicago with 43,000lbs of cider that I had secured with a load strap.....I'm not the slowest driver and I know a couple of my turns were somewhat aggressive but I scaled both loads once and did not have any issues.....
seems a little far fetched too have that dramatic of a load shift without a catastrophic event having taken place....i.e. near rollover or near collision with emergency braking having taken place.....
unless like it was suggested tandems were slid up a few holes intentionally to cause issues during your shift of driving....
Tandems:
Tandem Axles
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".
