    I agree with Red and Condo. What does your contract say? IMO, you should start filling out mass applications with companies while trying to sell your truck, especially the way used truck prices have gone up. Would you try to open a restaurant without ever working in one?

    Pay it at the truckstop? did he say overweight ticket or overweight wicked? He cannot pay a ticket at the T/S. I am assuming this is a joke post.

    Would really have to know more. Did his company make him haul it? Did he weigh it first? Does he say he has to pay now at the scale you mean?

    Sometimes they make you pay at the scale before you leave if you are over gross. The student didn't weigh it?

    I read the thread but I guess I don't understand. If you have your own truck, why don't you go to any other company, container company, logging company... you might be able to sign on with some company like Swift, although I don't know why you would do that... I mean, there are many thousands of companies out there...
