Can you negotiate with the manager or owner? They must know that you only bring long logs.

 

I tried, he was in a pizzy mood.
I'll see what plays out

 

What if you volunteered to take those logs away for them?
Doesn't the scale master have any say so in sending guys packing when they bring obviously way too short stuff in?!

 

I was gonna offer to haul it off, but it was gone.
The scale lady started inspecting the dump loads after that was brought in. I think it was on a dump truck where she couldn't see it.
The regular loggers are crafty with hiding short logs in the middle of there loads.
Zoom in on the right side of the picture, that was a log truck they unloaded, see the bigger short logs on top...

 

High mount camera would fix that.

 

It would help, but it's easy to hide stuff if you want too. Just be honest would be the ticket.

 

That’s a lot of weight for that trailer. Looks like a 10,000lbs rated trailer with two 5200 lbs axles. I’m guessing that having the logs stick out of the back helps in the dumping process to counterbalance the weight in the front. What kind of hitch are using between the truck and the trailer?

 

It might be a bit overloaded......
We had an 2" Anderson weight distribution hitch on it. Got a 2 1/2" receiver hitch on it now.
