DOT making car hauler unload at weigh station

If you bought it on the east coast, it just might be! That was taken just below GW on the Jersey pike.

 

Well, I shouldn't do this because it entails people I know personally, but I will stick my nose in here.

For over 20 years we ran lowboys or flats 53' never ran flippers, but of course would have a pickup or van backed on so that we could get an extra 3 feet off the front, sometimes we had some rear overhang, sometimes not, BUT, we always ran closed wheel bases, factory sleepers on the tractor and were never REALLY out there with our loads.

The last couple of years I have seen so many 300wb tractors with high mounts, huge sleepers and rear set 5th wheel pins.

I have always known about the law, but tried to fly under the radar, but if you are going to run a 10' sleeper, have 4' flippers with half a car hanging off the front and 4' off the back, then don't piss and moan about what is happening.

Running an unapproved load is one thing, sticking your thumb in the DOT's eye yelling look at me while you do it is something else all together!

Just the way I see it!

Few Reasons most are posted
1. Length
2. Height
3. Contraband found in one of the cars during inspection
4. Way over Gross I had to leave one when i got popped for 8k over gross
Yes a 7 car can be heavy ive never drove one but when i got popped it was the first time id hauled a fully bullet proof car the broker of course said it was like 5k it weighed a touch over 10k the weigh master let me scale it by itself.
IN that case the broker lied and had to figure out wtf to do with a car left at the chicken cope.
