Narrative:
The empty operating weight on the closeout was 1362 pounds higher than that on the tps. I have noticed this before but never in this magnitude. I am told that load control may use a more accurate figure when necessary. I do not understand the logic. Playing with a deuces wild attitude is going to burn someone one of these days.
