    If you're on a scale how could you be driving. They must be awful hungry up there.Either that or a Trucker got the best of him and he's trying to even the score. That's borderline bullying, picking on a guy with glasses, what'd he do next kick sand on you.

    Just a quick update I heard from Klamath falls Court today just by writing them a letter explaining the situation they dropped my fine down from $933 to $100
    Pretty happy with that.
    Thanks again for the few people with decent suggestions

    Good for you.

    Another good thing is overweight fines are simply a citation. Even if an inspection report was filled out, it will not affect on your company csa score.

    Yeah I thought the same thing. I'm going to see if there is a way to fight it. The guy was being petty as all get out. I wasn't driving when he questioned it.

    The d o t officer said he was saving me money and I thought how he said well I'm not running an inspection on your truck which was a good thing because it had bald drive tires and no working tractor tail lights. Also they didn't inspect my logbook which was also a good thing we were running transflo + hos that logging software has more bugs than a two-dollar hooker.

    That was a cheap shot. I'd write to the court about that and explain what happened.

    Bald tires and no tractor lights? Was that your truck or a company rig?

    You know you're right about that I didn't think about it at the time but coming into Klamath falls there's hardly any room he couldn't Park very many trucks there.

    It was an owner operator for Fairchild that I got conned into going down to work for it was a 2016 Kenworth so I figured how bad of shape could it be in. Never go to work for someone off of Craigslist my butt still hurts.
