700 Over on trailer, under on gross.

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?

 

This particular commodity cannot be reworked without an overhead crane. It is what it is.

 

I am more curious than I am worried. I am typically not overweight, so I really don’t give it much thought. I was just wondering how likely you are to get popped when you’re under gross but over on an axle group.

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.
