What would you have done...

Actually once he pulled me over he looked at my bill of lading and saw it was a heavy load so he took my DL and told me to follow him to a police station. I had to turn around and follow him. When we got there he put my front axle on scales first and i applied my brakes got out to see the weight then he started yelling at me to get back in a truck and that he will show me weights once he is done. As far as i'm concerned he could put down anything he wanted.

I asked him how could i trust him what he wrote down he said he has no reason to lie and that he pulls over plenty of trucks that are legal. I was actually about a mile from a place where i picked up a load.

Like i said i could've done things differently but i didn't. Even tho it happened couple of years ago i still think about it sometimes. Its not even about money its just the fact that they can pretty much steal from hard working people and get away with it.

Question was what would you guys do if it happened to you? And again i didn't go after them thinking it would cost me much more than $600 to hire a lawyer to fight it with no guarantee i would win...

 

I did tell him that i just left the shipper and had nowhere to scale my load, but he didn't care. He said there were too many overweight trucks passing thru there and damaging their roads so they were trying to put an end to it.

As far as calling the company i did but i had to pay since the truck i drove was my friends who took 6 months off due to surgery and i had pretty much all the authority where to go and what loads to pick...

I also called the shipper but they said they couldn't help me and did not want no part of it...
