Yard I used to work with would send me a tridem trailer then leave, I always had my scrap already prepared and would order the trailer for a Friday so that I could have it all weekend otherwise anything over a week day I would have had to pay demurrage for any day over the freebie.
Anyone depending on the yard to sort deserves what they get when the fat lady sings, another sob story in the making.
If the trailer and truck have air suspension you can tell how much weight you have on board to within 100 lbs by the gauge pressure inside the cab. Ask your driver he'll tell you, those air gauges for the air ride suspension keep the truck from getting over weight tickets at the scales. You will find that most scrap yards order their trucks with.
