Yes. Misdemeanor in Texas. But theft of $100-$750 value can still get you 6 months in a county lockup. Not to mention shot if you are trespassing on private property doing it.
Axle only weight violation.

You’re all talking about rape and murder, #### all I did was forget to adjust my tandems.
If you hear of suggested laziness. I am by far the least lazy truck driver out there. I cherish every chance I get to get out of the truck and actually do something physical. Pulling the pin and adjusting the tandems would’ve been a welcomed activity except I just spaced it.
Anyhow, lesson learned, I assure you.
and as proof, I drove for a refer company for two years. 95% of every load scaled out between 76 and 79,900 pounds. Every load had to be scaled in about 50 to 60% of the time the tandems needed to be adjusted.
New company like maybe 10% of loads are heavy enough to scale. I simply dropped the ball. Even this particular load, wouldn’t have warranted running across a scale.Crude Truckin' Thanks this. -
Forgetting to slide tandems is either fatigue or mental laziness. -
Ive forgotten things when not tired and its not "mental laziness" to forget something.
If you want to argue your point better, call it perhaps failure to stick to a good checklist, or even to have one in the first place, that still wouldnt preclude oh say the shipper coming up with the bills to sign and throwing off a routine resulting in forgeting.
Im not defending it, but im unimpressed with your sanctimonious attitude -
BTW, further, 3 of 6 Walgreens in my area closed in the last two years as part of this restructuring, the one store had to two or 3 plainclothes security in the store due to shoplifting, and this in a Colorado suburb, not California, and sadly, Colorado is becoming California light at a rapid pace.Last edited: May 22, 2021
