It is not my day, Fined $5154.00

I live near there too & try to avoid it when possible. Used to be some pretty decent older guys in there that would cut some slack, but thinking it is training ground for State Troopers & DOT.

I would call these guys http://www.roadlaw.net/ Think they are tied in with OOIDA. They can advise over the phone.
Do not know any local lawyers near Springfield that aren't busy chasing ambulances or selling divorce, so cannot help you there.

 

if they have pusher axles. they require dump valves. so they can be lifted up or down as needed.

 

mine was $300 for being 2500 over on my bridge in oregon. still trying to figure out why oregon has lower weights then the rest of the country.

 

i have ran a pusher axle before...

 

I am a member .was planning to called them on Monday

 

Hauling Ambulances I was 2250 pounds overweight on a spread axle a few months ago at the Coop just before VA on 95. The scale master told me she would let me go this time but they would eat me up in VA. i dropped a part of the load just before Washington and returned to my normal weight luckily.

 

first of all don't beat yourself up about it.every person on here has made mistakes.and if they tell you any different their liers.i've been driving 25 yrs and i'm far from perfect.no i haven't done that but you know what #### happens.sometimes were in such a hurry or frenzy it's not hard to make a honest mistake every now and again.and giving a ticket for that amount when technically you weren't even over weight,is pretty chicken #### in my opinion.

 

I can think of a $5,000 reason.

Sorry that this happened. Hope you get it taken care of.

 

I guess we finally found the perfect driver.dosen't make any mistakes.in their mind,let me be the first to congradulate you.but at the risk of you being mad at me.your exactly that person i don't want to be on the rd with.because in your mind your perfect.

 

no, not at all perfect. made many mistakes...
