    Forget the ticket, overloading tires is just plain stupid.

    Hate to break the news to you but even if you have 14k rating on the tires and if you have an axle rated at 12k, then it is a 12k max.

    Mr Obvious here , The "non English speaking driver" thought he was over on the steers - so he moved his "lot lizard" that he paid $20.00 dollars for to the reefer to even up the weight --also thinking he just purchased her for life like in his home land -he then proceeded to the receivers where they "refused the load" for contamination.
    Resulting in his immediate termination, which of course ended up with years of Welfare money, free health care a large settlement after the discrimination lawsuit which he invested in a gas station and lived over happily ever after with his lovely bride he originally bought at the truck stop .
