700 pounds over on the trailer, non-sliding tandem, 79,200 gross. Too late to rework the load at this point. I’ve already made the decision I will run with it, I was just curious what my odds of getting busted are. My route is I 44 through Missouri and then 70 to Indianapolis, 69 and 24 to Toledo, and then 75 to Detroit. 401 to Toronto. Is what it is. I seldom ever am heavy, but this time I am.
If I do get caught, how much should I expect a fine to be in a case like this?
700 Over on trailer, under on gross.

Ya crossing multiple state lines so it's a gamble, who knows.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Is the trailer sealed? Is it a bag load?
If the answers are no and yes, throw a few bags towards the front.
Other types of freight might be manhandled too.Bean Jr. and SidewaysBentHalo Thank this. -

Get the atlas and follow alternate yellow lines if you're that worried.

Was also curious what the financial impact is in this context. It’s on me. I made the choice. I’m a big boy. Just curious. -
Expect a ticket if going through a coop. I got a ticket at the Dalton Ga scale last year. GVW 77,500 ticketed for 2,000 over on trailer. I think it was about $100.

I am seldom dead nuts on my axles. Both my trailers are fixed. I have never even been talked to about 700 lbs. I dont even wonder till a thousand. I'm sure there is an ####### out there some where but I haven't met him. It's real common for me to be 500 over
Rugerfan, stwik, Dave_in_AZ and 5 others Thank this.
