Too heavy on your drives? Try only fueling up half way. Woulda saved you time versus having the shipper rework it. I used to run paper loads too, almost always had to run half fueled.
My question for you as a fellow Landstar driver is if you’re into saving money and you obviously choose your loads why are you running heavy loads? All that extra fuel you’re burning, then having to deal with shippers wasting your time via loading you overweight. Plus all those high paying light loads Landstar has, I don’t pull anything over 35,000 pounds. Leave that heavy stuff for company drivers.
Whew...so many experts out here! Everything is not one size fits all. How do you know I didn't take this load for a special reason? There could be tons of reasons I took this load. Also, you are assuming that every load I take is like this. But I get it, everyone is an expert in logistics. Thank you for the advice nonetheless.
Driver landstar with them shipper almost half the time the weight posted is wrong my last load said 23k and it was 80 pound pallet to google. Now before that one I got a 33 k load and they put 39k on there I did get more money but was loaded wrong so rate con ain’t always right. I wango to know how hard is it to put on one of these as I’ve had them as company driver but my prostar doesn’t have the only gauge is missing. Is it hard to wire on or do I need a air line too as I’ve been wanting one for a while for my 2026 prostar+

Whats the gauge called?
The last 3 Coronado's that I've had 64# psi is right at 34k# on drives
Sounds about right
Its ok to have a secondary messure.
