Oversize without permits, arguments against.

I’m surprised no one asked if the trucks and trailers this company has are even set up to do the job proper. May find out that sweet contract beats them trucks into powder rather quick and becomes fruitless.

 

Arkansas troopers stop oversized load without a permit weighing nearly 129,000 pounds

 

Dunno what the rules in Arkansas are but that's gotta be cutting it close to maximum weight even with a permit.

 

Light steer only good for 12-14K would let him permit up to 132-134K. Tridems are good for 60 each in AR. He got caught on the US Highway running right next to I40 trying to bypass the east bound scale. He didn't realize they built a scale with a bunch of cameras into the road. It looks like a little bridge with guard rails on each side but its a scale.

Its even marked on Google maps.

 

Based on what I am looking at 8 to 10 cents over 10,000 lb and it is doubled if willful evasion so.....

Base fee included probably about $10,000. And that's if they don't decide to tack on more.

 

Last I heard anything over 100k was charged as destruction of state property…

 

I can confirm that a farse just saying

 

I know I lighten up. No more 117k loads.
