Great video. I'll be out there soon. Your channel has helped me a ton.
Thanks Lo!
depends on mfd of the trailer how much lbs each hole some trailers are 500 some are as little as 200 in my experience
This video gave brought back my condolence after doing my own Lil way n 1st time n 6yrs was overweight. Back on point
Thanks for the info. I’m a rookie first week in refer truck. Man I was stressing if my weight was over in front. Fires stuff man.
Thanks for the video lo. ✌🏽
Notification gang 🚛🚚💨💨💨💨
Kelvin Scales Thank You for being on that notification gang!!!
Cat scales will fight a fine for you if you get one
So they say....they can also say..you didn't get on the scale properly...or.number of other things...
And another good video. Thanks 🇨🇺
Trap CubaRepa any time. The pleasure is all mines
Good job showing that load gauge. I have the same exact one in my truck. You're right on the money with that. I figured that on my own the higher the number, the more weight you have on your drives. The lower the number, the more weight on your trailer. I dont even drive for a mega carrier and my truck has a scale
Waddup Lo. Just peeped out their scale box last month before the holiday. I was picking up @ Tyson in Amarillo. Dropped a Navajo empty next to a Prime & i thought maybe i’ll check it out. Looks & seems very 2x helpful for your axle gross weights. Navajo Express can sure use these things for their trailers so that i no longer have to keep CATing it. Thanks for the helpful video Loshawn. Continue giving us helpful content & stay safe out there. Our paths might cross soon out on these roads somewhere. If so, i’ll hand you a Pepsi.✌️👍
Got to love thats suspension gauge i live by it
CAROLINA KID Big Daddy Trucker BDT yes sir. It is a really big help in knowing if your heavy on the front end.
Yo that drive wieght gauge is a life saver for real Lo!!!!
Thank you man for shering
What up Lo? Checking in !!
Great video on the scale
ThatMasterChefTruckin Travis Griffin Thank you my friend
First weight, second weight, and third weigh, you had me rolling
Most otr companies have the drive bag gauge.
There's an couple things he left out.
1) new freight liners and kw have 13,200 steer axel.
2) if you use the weigh my truck app ( catscale). You can pull on scale and have your weight without pulling off scale.
3) the reason for cat scale tickets is to cover your butt. They will pay for any over weight ticket, if there scale said you was good.
Aaron Hartmann ok...sure, but I’m talking about the right weigh scale system and having it on the trailer. Didn’t really have too much to do with the CAT scale at all other than going to the truck stop to be weigh. And this is a freightliner 2016. So yeah...
@@TruckingwithLoshawnParks
Just putting it out there for people who don't have an nice trailer set up like you do.
I myself didn't know about the axel weight till I jumped in an newer truck. In an 12500 or 12000 axel there is no way to fill up tanks to full. The front position would put them over steer almost every time depending on fuel level.
Utility trailer as I have has 500lb holes as well, however some trailers have 250 lb holes
Benjamin Gonzales Great info to know because I’m about to get a utility trailer thanks for the info
That's misleading. The "weight" of a hole is dependent on the location of the center of gravity.
Most of your dry Vans are 250# hole there close together most ur reefer are 350# hole if it's enuff space between the holes where it could be another hole there more then likely 350 if it's enuff space for 2 holes in between it's more then likely 500# hole...give or take that's a formula I bn using for 20plus years....it's pretty close when u check it with a scale. Also depends on how freight is inside trailer.
Nice 👍🏾 info
That’s a jost fifth wheel, excellent brand, I have a Holland series fifth wheel there a little bit different. But excellent vid
Benjamin Gonzales Thank you my friend.
Good info
Napoleon Bonaparte Thank you fam
Thks LO this just helped me get the hell out of these shipper and truck stop buy cat scale,we have it.
Go Trojans
Shout out from Calgary,Alberta. Canada
Great vids. What happened to Trucker Brown?
Some shippers want a scale ticket before reworking the trailer....
Charles Robey lucky I haven’t had to have a load reworked from the readings on the right weight system. Not saying what your saying isn’t true, just haven’t experienced it yet with this system.
How accurate are you with the pressure gauge?
300+- lbs?
Thanks
Lo the Peterbilt 579 have load scales in the truck. So half of the front of my flatbed is scaled. So if the first half is legal, the flatbed trailer axles are automatically legal.
I haven't used a scale since I left dry van.
Be safe pimp...
The best way to figure out the system is the first time u load a 40000#plus load go scale then check out all the gauges so u can bout tell where the gauges will be compared to the scale ticket..
Listen its not a set 500# per hole on the trailer tandems. It could be 250#-640# per hole depending on design and manufacturers
Great video! Thanks for the shout-out. We are always available for questions. The gauges with the color band like that are specially made for the Hendrickson Intraax / Vantraax HKANT-40K and ULTRAA-K tandem suspension. Out of the box, before calibration, the calibration should be very close (within 1,000 pounds), as they are made to Hendrickson's specs for air pressure vs weight. Only a slight adjustment (if any) should be needed for them to be calibrated for each individual trailer. As you can see at 5:57 in this video, the calibration screw's flats should be roughly horizontal, if they are not, it could be an indication that someone has tampered with the calibration significantly.
Right Weigh ,Inc. Thank you for stopping by and viewing my video. I am a HUGE supporter of y’all product. I think it is great and would love to work with you guys in the future if you guys would like.
I guess it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Zahir Eduardo Flixportal xD
@Chance Gabriel thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
@Zahir Eduardo No problem xD
Hole weight depends on what you're carrying
Each hole is 1% of the load weight and best to have a balanced tractor/trailer weight ratio or a little more on tractor to maintain better handling
Good look
JR Ryder Smith no problem
Put your thumb next to the big holes which are 500lbs so when you get holes smaller then your thumb measurement you know its 250lbs per hole. This is a must, the last thing you want to do is assume you've slid 1,000lbs and you've only slid 500
Good shi7 LO
Marcel Lewis Thank you homie.
I am new with prime and I am just starting to trust those scales. I did have a company rework a trailer because the scale said I was 1500 pounds over in the 6th hole. (California) I was surprised they didn't make me scale it they trusted the trailer scale. I also scaled a truck just to see and the trailer was calibrated a little heavy witch is fine with me I was tight at 34k and cat scale said 33400
David H yes. I have done that 1 time and that was my first reefer load to see if the scale on the trailer was accurate. And it was, or pretty damn close to it. I have pulled I would say over 100 loads now reefer and have used that scale on the trailer and have not been cited for overweight and I go thru scales stations all the time.
@@TruckingwithLoshawnParks yes but tell me you butt isn't puckering when you go through the 1st scale after pick up and the scale on the trailer read 34k or just under. 😁
Will that work on flatbed also.and do they have that scale on flat bed also
But if shipper is loading you more than on papers is writed? And happens offten.
You now just the weight on the trailer and not on the truck
Nice video, can u guid me sir how to buy of this product
, What price approx?
Plz guide me
I m from India , want buy online
Not all of them are calibrated, even if the sticker is gone I had a few that were over weight even tho I used those. I wouldn't trust it everytime.
I haven’t had a over weigh issue thus far. Keep my fingers and toes crossed. Lol
Allow for a 500lb variable on tractor and trailer weight gauges
You got that knowledge mentor me lol
Quis B lol. Just keep watching.
Great video brother gave you a like just wanted to ask why did you go to reefer haven't really been able to tune in like that and I thought you was a flatbed Daddy LOL
So what does RST exactly do for you?
Isnt better to cut the middle man?
I think every trucking company should have something like this device system on their trailers it save time and money but me usually just look at the weight on the papers just expect same familiar holes. Which start on 5th hole, 6th hole, 7th hole , 8th hole fuk sometmes 9th hole just keep little bet weight off the drive axles knowing your trk by the steering axles best to if steering be to hard to turn over weight otherwise being safe first weight scale on none sure of things. Appreciate the video bro
It all depends on make of truck freightliners are lighter trucks peterbilts and kw are heavier I have my fifth wheel on my Peterbilt 579 slide all the way to the rear
I drive for Prime also..Me personally I don't trust that shit anymore. 8th hole for me works like a charm. I had the tandems in the 7th hole, and the right way scale showed me about where your trailer was scaling ...I ended up getting caught at a weigh station in GA going into SC , and got an overweight ticket 😡
Miss Jazzi Bri lucky, I haven’t had any issues thus far from the right weight system. Not saying your not right, just that I have had great success with it. It has been pretty much spot on. There has been times when I needed to be in the 10th hole or greater and the system got me on onpoint. If I would have just put it in the 8th hole and ran with it, I would have been overweight. Now when u was overweight, did prime help out with that citation once you indicated what the right weigh scale had said?
@@TruckingwithLoshawnParks I had forgot to mention it..I got a nice little message from citations that the ticket would be taken from settlement. It's okay, it was my fault cause I let slip my mind.
I make sure I scale every heavy load now, before I run it..
Miss Jazzi Bri thank you for letting me know this. Appreciate it
@@MissJazziBri does that mean that you still have to pay for the ticket?
@@jtprasadi515 No, once Prime paid the ticket l did not have to pay Georgia, they took the ticket amount out of my settlement.
Question....what is the cost of that trailer scale ? You have to pay to scale @ truck stops ? Are all truck stops the same price ? Seems like a great idea .
Ray David $12@ most truck stops a few odd balls are cheaper.
Even though I have a load scale I still take the time to weight my load if it's over 40,000 lbs on my load. The only time I dont scale it if it's less than that
I don't need that but it's cool
All that money that onboard trailer scale should be digital lb per lb readout.
And what is the cost of this scale?
If it’s that close to 34000 pay the damm scale and avoid the points on your driver record
Very informative.. I would love to get my cdl.. But scared to death. Fyi. You are handsome
Dee Griffin Don’t be scared. Get out here and get it done! It gets easier as you go.
Very true get ur cdl come on out
He is handsome. Thx 😉
@@TruckingwithLoshawnParks thanks ill check more into it
@@deeg7141 I feel you on being scared,I got my permit,now i'm trying to figure out which trucking company to go with that with help me get my cdl
Sorry bro but I don’t trust that trailer weight cause we don’t know when it was calibrated.
My technique that I use it’s
Truck and trailer with #s 16,17,18,19 emptys but full of fuel it’s approximately 34,000lbs.
Truck with trailers 15,14 #s emptys full of fuel approximately 34,500lbs.
So that trailer that you have on this video and my truck will be 34,000+bol weight=total gross-steer 12,000-drive gauge=tandems weight.
Each hole approximately 400lbs.
44,000 lbs and over on BOL most of the time I. scale it
But definitely saves me $$ my technique from not scaling everytime.
Again every truck its a different weight according to the personal things that we have . Again good video bro. Stay safe.
Got you roose. That makes sense.
We all know did scales have to be calibrated how do you do that
Are you ever thinking about hiring solos
ray grammer I am. Taking applications right now. Are you interested? What is your experience & DAC report like?
Is there an easier way of getting a hold of you
ray grammer you can send me a email loshawnparks@gmail.com
My trailer 380 each hole 2020 utility trailer
If you bothered to read the sticker on the door it says the date of calibration. Also should be calibrated every 6 months. I would never trust that saying 34k too close for comfort. Same as the air gauge in the truck.
Man I miss Lo. He's the goat
On some mega carrier shit 😂😂😂
That Right weigh so clutch especially when calibrated
That's a bumpy ride they put all the weight on the front of that wagon
55, 60, (next notch) 65, 70, 75.....
Good video bro. That should be another optional accessorie that all carrier's offer. They're charging you for everything else any way! Just saying I hate that re weigh re weigh!! Lol.
I'm not over thinking it.
Dealing in reality. I know measuring devices need maintainence.
I know what can happen at a DOT scale if your over weight.
I know a CAT scale ticket cost less then an over weight ticket, a tow truck, and a fork lift.
I've seen what I'm telling you could happen. It's not a thought or a guess or an opinion. Its fact. Its reality.
But I know, YT truckers have all the answers. So be it
Green horn flying off the handles already. Come back to the video when u got few years under ur belt and say every scale on ur trailer has been the best. B/c not everything is made to last for ever.
Ever *
jeff drier I haven’t scaled a load yet since pulling reefer at prime. But that’s only been since March of 18
@@TruckingwithLoshawnParks I dont care, I was correcting your double negative. You want to sound smart... but yeah
jeff drier fixed. Thank you
😂
Life with Trucker Art 😂
I see an overweight ticket in your future.
EMIP TV naw he said he’s good...definitely still a rookie.
Your funny when you want be
Well thank you... I can be very hilarious when I want to be and just have fun with it.
why you driving an automatic truck ? youre not areal trucker
But do you know you weight
This is not a good idea. When was the last time it was calibrated? Do you trust the person who calibrated it? You don't even know who that was. How often does the manufacturer say they should be calibrated? Was it calibrated properly and as directed by the manufacturer? You dont know.
I'd venture to say 90% of the trlrs at Prime haven't been calibrated. So trusting those gauges is not a good idea. PRIME DOES NOT CALIBRATE THOSE SYSTEMS. It's up to the drivers to do it when the trlrs are loaded. And Prime isn't gonna pay your ticket. Making sure the axle weights are within legal limits is the drivers responsibility.
A cat scale ticket cost $11.50 and is a tax write off. Compare that to what it would cost at a DOT scale to have a heavy tow trk come out to pull all the pallets to the rear of the trlr, a forklift to take the pallets off the trlr and then put them back on and do that as many times as necessary until your axle weighs are legal.
Then there's the ticket.
Then theres the lost time driving and all that time at the scale house on duty that you burnt up.
Hum, I'll pay the $11.50 for loads that weigh over 37000 lbs and happily go motoring down the highways knowing I just spent $11.50 and it's not gonna bite me in the ass and cost me possibly $1000 or more that 15 minutes of my time, and less money then it cost for dinner in a truck stop for a scale ticket.
Yes weigh right is a good system, if you trust the person that calibrated it, or you trust it is correct straight out of the box.
I'll keep spending the $11.50.
And yes, DOT can make you stay at the scale until this type of issue is corrected.
entertainme099 I can only speak on what I have experienced. And my other trucks follow the same thing and none of us have gotten any overweigh tickets thus far. Knock on wood. Not saying y’all are incorrect on what y’all are saying at all, but maybe just maybe I have been getting lucky and my other trucks too. But thanks for the info. Much appreciated
@@TruckingwithLoshawnParks I know I'm correct. Been pulling these trlrs for six years. Numerous times the gauge said I was legal. And the cat scale said I wasn't. That's fact. Not what I think.
And I've seen trucks a scaled with all the equipment reworking their loads.
Do you really believe trusting those things is financially safer then spending $11.50 on some loads, the heavy ones? You can pay for a lot of scale tickets for what one over weight load could cost you. Because you the driver are responsible for it and the Bill's and fines being over weight generate.
Stay lucky.
entertainme099 answer me this since you been “Pulling these trailers for 6 years”. Why does Prime put these on the trailer if there really no good? Is rob wasting money is what your saying? Also, if this is out of calibration and you use that, right weigh or prime doesn’t play or take responsibility in it? I mean these are questions I have since it seems you are “Correct” on all things prime. I mean you been real critical of me with Prime info so I thought you might have the answers. Not being smart, just asking someone who knows
I think ur over thinking how the system works. All it takes is a little common sense to know if you are too heavy to trust the scales. Every load you pick up ain't gonna be over 40k pounds for you to have to go to a cat scale.
When I call in live dispatch they ask for scale weights and twice they questioned the accuracy of the trailer scale because weight I loaded versus scale reading both times it was my fault of being a noob but both times scale was accurate as they told me to cat scale the load. So prime relies on the scales.
Now you got to remember if you loaded x amount of weight and your truck and emty truck and trailer weight is xx you know the truck drive scale is good because you calibrated that and left room for error. Add this weight to that weight badda bing badda boom trailer tandems must be around this and scale says it is must be right. Now if I'm real heavy I myself is going to a cat scale.
Not a good idea. Prime will tell you to scale out.

How can you be overweight pulling fried chicken lol
Hey tell chris and woody if they will buy me a 379 pete ill come drive over there been driving longer than u clowns
