Overweight ticket

They got caught bootlegging in Pennsylvania and are surprised that the driver got locked up? Probably didn't have a pilot car either. Now, the other truck they mentioned, on that 10 ton road...ouch!

 

they could of told you at the scale house.... but I was 700 lbs over in cali and it cost me 162.00 ... nothing went on my csa ... and it is not a moving violation ....

 

yep! all the times they got away with it and this one time cost them all the $$$ they didn't spend all the other times. I will say it again- IDIOTS!!

 

Ya, what cracks me up is he was 1'3" over the permitted width and acts like it was unreasonable that the permits got invalidated. I mean, a somewhat overweight I can understand as there aren't alot of scales up there, but if you are running OD you #### well better be measuring your loads and double checking your permits. That driver didn't and they quite deservedly got caught. And it wasn't the first time for that company.

 

I was 5500 over in IN and it was $365.

 

That's not bad. I just got one in OK that was 1500 dollars in fines. Of course I was about 8000 lbs over my permit and I knew it I was just being cheap and not wanting to wait for a super load approval.
