My thought was just that the cop probably had a problem with him. That seems like a pile-on ticket.

Yd(gravel)=1.25 tons or so. In a hard brake I could see moving a couple of yards in certain trailer(s). If the right conditions existed/skid marks,ect. You might be able to beat the violation. Of course most pits scale the truck for product revenue.
randomname, Accidental Trucker and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
How was it weighed? Did you continue your trip after the crash and cross the scales? Did they pull out the portables?

Rocks will move. Sometimes when our rock loads are peaking we'll do a brake check to level the load out... Sand is a lot harder to move. Of course, I doubt they would move enough to change your axle weight -
