    Just got myself a ticket last week for the exact same thing coming out of Columbus. I somehow missed the signs i guess. I hate Ohio

    I can tell you the only lawyer to call down in that neck of the woods. He is not cheap, and in your situation you may still have a bad outcome.

    Pm me if you want.

    Let's make it simple.

    Nearly all big cities have a hwy route that goes around downtown.

    Here's a few for example
    Atlanta i285
    Charlotte i485
    Baltimore i695
    Cincinnati i275
    Indianapolis i465

    If the route takes you through downtown of big city always remember to look for a hwy route around it.

    I did dedicated hazmat in Iowa for a year and felt like a fugitive on the run. 2 roadsides and a 50% chance of getting inspected if a scale house was open.

    Higher a lawyer. A local one to the area you got a ticket. Theyll get it downgraded. No need to stress

    This one is more serious than that. He screwed up pretty good on this one. Smart move is find another carrier to lease up with now.

    edit: of course he still needs a lawyer to minimize the damage from this.
