Bummer. Sorry for your trouble. I'm so sick of the state and feds looking at us like 18 wheeled cash registers. Why did you have to re-weigh if you didn't adjust anything?

 

I know CAT scales certify and guarantee their scales to be accurate. Read the instructions on the back to see how to file a "claim". I don't know how far up the food chain you've gone, but I'd get in touch with the Director of Safety or go to your DM's boss to see if it can be resolved. Sometimes you have to keep fighting and appealing all the way to the top b/c not only does that count against you it goes on the company's CSA score if I'm not mistaken.

 

There is no recourse at all with a Warning. Overweight tickets are not even supposed to count at all against anybody. But a Warning will.

What I always try to do when they try to box me in is ask for a supervisor. I believe they can write you up for anything, but it doesn't mean squat til you the driver sign it.
It's going to take someone with guts of steel one of these days to say 'hey look, I have my cat scale receipt, boom I'm not signing your warning, take me to jail, impound my truck, but I'm not signing anything'.

 

You said the tandems were all the way back, you sure it wasn't a bridge law violation warning ticket?

 

I-80 doesn't touch WA! Do you mean I-82, down near Kennewick, just crossing the river after Hermiston?

And the CAT scale ticket doesn't show any proof of tandem position...so they won't help even if you could challenge it....just advertising hype!
