Pilot Travel Plaza • 3-Platform Scale • Intercom Check • 34,200 lb Overweight Tandem • Slide Pins 2 Holes Back
Practice communicating with scale weighmasters, fuel desk cashiers, diner waitstaff, and fellow drivers in English:
"Weighmaster Intercom: Pressing yellow call button. First weigh, Truck 805, Freightliner Cascadia, 53-foot dry van. All three axle groups are on individual platforms."
Weighmaster: "Got your weights captured, Driver. Pull off the scale and pick up your certified weight ticket inside at the fuel desk.""Good evening. I pumped one hundred forty gallons of diesel on Pump 8. Please apply my loyalty shower credit and print my CAT Scale ticket."
Cashier: "Here is your certified scale ticket: seventy-nine thousand four hundred pounds gross. Your shower suite number six is ready with door code 8140.""I would like the grilled chicken breast platter with steamed green vegetables, brown rice, and a large iced water with lemon, please."
Waitress: "Excellent healthy choice, Driver! Would you like that with salad on the side, and should I pack an extra to-go box for your cab fridge?""Hey Driver, I see you backing into that tight forty-five-degree spot between those two reefer units. I can ground-spot your blind side if you want."
Peer Driver: "I really appreciate that, Brother! Watch my trailer driver-side corner; give me one honk when I have three feet from the rear curb.""I have parked under the high-mast LED light, wrapped the seatbelt through the door handle, closed the blackout curtains, and set the cab APU to sixty-eight degrees."
Safety Lead: "Sleeper berth fully secured for a restful ten-hour reset. Sleep well and recharge for tomorrow's run!"Every marked space is taken at the interstate travel plaza. You only have 15 minutes left on your 11-hour drive clock. Where do you safely park?
Your gross weight is 78,500 lbs, but trailer tandems read 34,800 lbs (800 lbs over federal axle limit). How do you adjust the load?
You pull into a dark state rest area with broken lights and notice unauthorized individuals inspecting trailer door handles. What is your action?
After sitting for 7 continuous hours on bumpy highways, your lower back spasms and your right calf develops severe stiffness. What must you do?
Congratulations, Driver! You have successfully mastered CAT Scale intercom weighing, trailer tandem sliding, shower reservations, healthy sleeper berth meal prep, and overnight cab security in English!
