Tackling Equipment Hauling Challenges Daily!
Every day, the transport business presents its own set of challenges. We know our tare weights and ask the right questions to mitigate safety risks and ensure compliance.
Recently, we faced a significant surprise: a load that was said to weigh 80,800 lbs scaled in at 103,000 lbs! Anticipating this may be the case due to the scraper’s age, make, and model, we went prepared with wheeler-trailer insurance, which provided enough allowable weight to scale.
Hauling scrapers can be particularly tricky due to their long wheelbase, which makes it difficult to manage the rear axle group. This is precisely where our Murray Wheeler trailer excels!
Through good communication, knowing our equipment, and verifying the details, we can push forward with confidence in every move💪
