Anybody care to share what the axle weights, front, rear and tag for these coaches?

I have not made it to Flying J yet for axle weights.

He is the photo album of today's coach weigh in:

Did anyone go over 20000 on the drives and if so what was the reaction?

What was the biggest difference from one side to another?

I feel sorry for the truckers that get stopped tomorrow, those guys will have to be making up for today.

Are you going to post some weights or keep it a big secret?

I am amazed that Dale and Jan got the Troopers to come out to the park and weigh all the coaches. Just a real nice thing for them to do. My first thought was what were they going to do if a coach was way overweight. But I guess being on private property and being invited would take care of that.
So a bus load of sheep made weight with no problem??

Mel,

They are actually helium filled sheep, so they are weight negative and thus help the Krakman's Low Beer Light issue.

Everyone got their own weight sheet so I can only speak for mine. The front axle weight was 8800lbs left/8400lb RT. The drive was 11000lbs left/9650lbs RT. The Tag is 7100 lft/ 6100 Rt.
The rating for my Coach is : Front 17200, Drive 22500 Tag 14000
I had full water tank, 1/2 full waste tank and 1/2 full deisel.

My tires are rated at 9480 lbs each for the front 365's, and 6940 lbs each for the ear 315's.


So on the axles, I am at or near top at front , 950lbs under on drive, and 800 lbs under on tag.

We had the State troopers stay and speak with us afterwards . They do not really keep an eye out for RV's unless they are in an accident. They have their hands full watching out for the commercial trucks and buses.
Their suggestions were to have your bus inspected by a certified mechanic annually. Maintain Tires and air pressure, check brakes and air systems. Keep speeds to a controled rate.

I think those troopers got an education today.

They learned just as much as the members did.

I'm sure you all represented us wonderfully.

I bet you all had a blast. Dale needs something more than a T-shirt for pulling that off.

Joe,

The SD-DOT guys didn't waste any time recovering the lost revenue from this morning.... Karen and I went to Devil's Tower WY after lunch and the same group that put on our seminar were setting up fro business in the east bound rest area on I-90 about 12 miles from here.

Our coach weighed in at 6300LF, 6000RF, 8900LD, 9450 RD, 4400 LT, 4400 RT for a total of 44100 pounds. i had half tank of fuel and maybe half full of water.
