Wednesday, we got weighed!

Or, at least Carl's rig did.
We thought it was going to happen on Thursday, but the guy who does the weighing wanted to take Thursday off and asked if it would be okay to do the weigh today, so we brought in the slides and disconnected from water and power and got weighed.
Getting ready to weigh the front axle - worker carrying a support board to rear tires

They put boards down for each wheel to be at the same level (well... if the parking lot was completely level, which it probably is not)

Driving up onto the scale with front wheels
ready to weigh front axle


Reported weight - 6220 pounds on passenger side, 7040 on driver's side, for total of 13260 pounds on the front axle


Driving forward - I was inside so my weight would be counted too, but the driver was one of the fellows from the shop, and Carl was outside taking pictures...

Placing scale in correct location for passenger side dual...

... and for driver's side dual...


Placing the board for the tag axle...

And the front axle...

A video of putting it up on the scale and boards:


The good news is that we are well under weight on all axles!
