Unless it’s a permit load, then your good.Wasted Thyme, JolliRoger, jamespmack and 3 others Thank this. -
Once I picked up a van load north of Fargo, listed on the BOL at 26k. I figured it was balanced OK but it did seem to handle funny so I was starting to ponder weighing at the fuel stop I had dialed in across the state line. Yeah, the Minnesota state line. And the scalehouse was open.
I had to do a doubletake at the readouts showing my drives at 36k. Turned out the BOL was fraud and the actual cargo weight was 40k. I was able to balance on the spot in a single shot but still got cited and inspected, although the officer's mood did soften a bit after I showed him the scandalous BOL. -
