What would you do???

Guy at Flying J tonight asked for advice. Interested to see what you all would do. We were at xt 2 Franklin KY on 65. He picked in Nashville. Said was at customer for 4.5 hours and went thru rush hour. Showed me scale ticket. 82285 gross. 35k+on each axle. Said headed to Chicago. Wanted to know what to do. He said he wanted to run with it and was going to call company and tell them he was going to do that. Asked if scales open in IN. I came from Nashville too, so didn't know. To make long story short advised him of consequences to running if caught or hits someone and damage to csa etc. Told him to call company and tell them going back and next time scale in Nashville. He didn't like that answer and walked away sulking. Did I give right advice or would u ran it???

 

That is what I thought. Should be common sense. I mean really??? Calling your company and telling them your going to break the law??? Told him if its a decent company they'd tell him to go back. Told him if he did run it bypass all scales and lose scale ticket but I told him I don't want to get ticket so id go back.
