50lbs overweight on the trailer axles.....

didn't you know that it is one year in jail for every pound that you are overweight, that is 50 years in jail they're going to pull you over and lock you up on your way back to the shipper. leave your truck at the truck stop and go on the lamb

 

If you got a ticket for 50 pounds frame it and put it in your rig.

 

If you were to tired to roll anyway why get everybody twisted up over it tonite, log off duty go to bed. In light of this new evidence the shipper being closed till morning has no bearing on the situation. 50 pounds seriously? Yeah you are the captain alright, you'd be paddling somebody else's dingy after today if you drove for me. Not over unwilling to move, over stirring up a pot of stink for nothing.

 

Just when I think I've read the stupidest thing on this forum, someone surprises me.... 50 pounds?! Really?! I hope this is a joke....

 

I'm not sure what I'd do if a driver came back asking to be reworked for 50lbs over on his tandems.

I suppose I'd be obligated to rework... after a 10 minute phone call with his dispatch. Yeah, I'd rework to clear my name... but it's not even worth my guys time to help this guy bump up, cut the seal, and then button her back up just to move one bucket from the rear of the trailer to the front. I wouldn't find myself loading your truck in the future though...

Something to remember for you... You've effectively jeopardized your position with your employer and customer AND you've wasted a half day's worth of work for yourself. Everyone has a business to run - you gotta pick which battles are worth fighting.

 

Dam I got a slap on the wrist for beeing 80lbs over on my drives

 

No cuffs just a slap for being an idiot for dogging scales

 

If it was my truck i would of told u get out of my truck as long as ur under 80tho ud been fine

 

dump that 50 ilbs up on the drives then slide your seat forward a few notches and youll prob be legal then .
