Overweight Ticket Oregon Split Axle Flatbed

Thank you I plan on doing that but I do want to call the courthouse and ask for the ticket if at all possible to get lowered and price and if it does, I will convey that to cat cat scales thank God for their guarantee that was the best $14 I’ve ever spent

 

Why bother? They said they will reimburse the whole thing. Let the big multimillion dollar company pay whatever it is and then go on with life. They are paying the fine for you because it is good PR for them. If they actually cared about $750 they would fight you for it not just give in right away.

 

I hear your position.

 

I would think your principles would then want you to own your mistake instead of trying to get them to pay for it. Their scale isn't the reason you got a ticket. You were legal gross but your mistake with the suspension is the reason you got a ticket not because their scale was wrong.

 

I edited the response felt like I got a little too personal morals. I’m not sure part of me agrees with you but a good part of me doesn’t if their scales are off by 3500 pounds with that lower my overweight on those axles probably would that mean the ticket would’ve been lower probably that’s why I mentioned in my original email to them that my ticket would probably have been $600 under I’m not sure about organs penalties from 0 to 1000 pounds 1000 to 5000 and then anything above 5000

Bro .. just pay the ticket and move on. You are being reimbursed for it... chalk it up to a lesson learned , its trucking.. #### happens !

 

Agreed. As a public announcement yes my ticket would’ve been lower. 3000-5000lbs overweight is a $300 ticket in Oregon. Anything above 5000lbs is 15 cents per pound.

 

Honestly in this case if i were you... id call cat scale and lie to them your weights are good idk maybe it works... Definately fight it in court with these type of tickets and being a trucker alot of times youll have to do it virutally i wouldnt even buy a lawyer if i were you this is BULLSYT. Plead not guilty and request trial you have an 88% chance the cop dosent even wanna fight you... and ask chatgpt for legal advice

 

I have to ask…is the advice you give coming from the place you told OP to go to?
