Your only defense is to show that what you were driving was not over 10k.
All it would take is a legal scale ticket of your empty truck, but I doubt you could provide that.
Correct?
Take your lumps, and learn from the experience. -

Just pay the ticket and move on. Don't waste the court's time unless you want them to add court costs to it.
-
Do you own the truck?
-
How much was the ticket?

They put up "5 Ton Limit" signs to essentially allow the lawn care and such people who may have a 1-ton dually and trailer access to the neighborhood or area ... but anything else has a target on it's back. Not sure how they deal with the household goods movers or trucks delivering to construction sites who need access to a home/lot down that particular road.
