Truck cited for being 89k lbs overweight

All right, last of the big time outlaws, and in my home state,,,what an honor. I'm sure that money will go to our crumbling back roads,,,,yeah, right, I agree, what an idiot. I've hauled plenty of heavy loads ( not THAT heavy, tho) and you can tell a big difference between 80 and 90K, much less this much. Driver should have known right away, which tells me, this isn't the 1st time they've tried this. While I agree, it's the drivers responsibility, I think Mr. Scrapyard gonna have some pissed off visitors soon.

Truck cited for being 89k lbs overweight

 

Crappie I'm constantly pushing 100k and over with the hopper. We are allowed out the field 90k on agriculture. Have done 108k a time or two. The heaviest hopper I'm aware of my way was 120k at the mill in town

 

That driver had to be completely freaking stupid.

 

Aren't these guys paid tonnage?
He was seeing dollar signs!!!
...and he's sure as hell seeing dollar signs now lmao

 

I passed this one. I was wondering what the deal was.

 

Goes to show what ppl will do for money but now he has a huge fine serves him right.

 

He probably just topped off with fuel and in a little while would have been okay.
