Ever wonder why all those trucks are lined up at the building out on the interstate? They're called weigh stations. Learn what a bridge law is and how truckers distribute the weight on a trailer without touching the freight. And check out the PrePass Web site if you want to avoid weigh stations altogether. There are also some pictures of the different parts of the truck that are involved in distributing your load. I also point you to a free PDF showing your how to slide your tandems. And if I haven't shirked my duty, there will be a couple of videos to show you how it works.
In the feedback section, I finally get around to answering questions from both Christy Kuppler and Joe V about finding a list of list of HazMat routes and restrictions , which I found on the horrible FMCSA Web site. There is also a link to an article sent in by a reader about how GPS can help truckers with HazMat routing. Lastly, check out a hilarious blog post about HazMat from commenter, Christy Kuppler.
