The way I see it, CSA 2010 will slowly grind out the drivers that refuse to refuse a load, it is not worth it to have a DOT ticket to help a company that would put me in a position to loose my job, and not be able to get hired on elsewhere. Give it time and it willl happen, we all will be out of the job for running something illegal...
So I dont care if the company picks up the fine what about the points, those are ours to share.

stop being paranoid guys. Already been in contact with out insurance company about overweight tickets and he said due to the fact a lot of trailers are drop and hook they weren't going to make them a major violation which is why there is no direct mention of them on the new rules.

Then ask your insurance company about how they will handle a lawsuit involving an accident when you are hauling an overweight load?
What I have learned is that if you are in an accident when hualing an overweight load the plaintiffs attorney will roast you alive......
For me and the company I run for... IF the load won't scale legal it goes back to the shipper.... if it comes off the rail in CHI from CA.. then it goes back on the rail to the shipper.. and the shipper pays... its all in the contracts.. Shippers that pay double freight bills a couple of times quickly learn not to overload....Half a Load Thanks this. -

Overweight tickets do not go on our driving record here, I average one or two a year most years.
I know the small overweight tickets that you pay right at the scales in lowsiana has no paper trail either, or didn't a few years ago.
