over weight tandem citation

I am trying to understand your statement. But if I understand it right, you are saying that over gross and over axle will go on your CSA. If you are saying that, then you are wrong. Being "over gross" or "over axle", once the fine is paid, that is the end of the story. I have had my share and not one has ever appear on my CSA, not that I give a "hoot". I don't worry about my "score". But even this past week, got a "over gross" ticket in Ga. and although I knew it, the scale master took her time and explained that this would not go on my CSA.

 

i run legally overweight on divisible loads i can be 96k gross. laws vary greatly state to state on. but for me i am not allowed to be over on any axle. also a separate permit is needed to be over-gross on the interstate system. and again must be legal on all my axles. there are some states though that do allow you higher weights for your axle groups but that will typically only apply to state highways and not the interstates. because the laws vary so widely a guy really needs to know the laws and how they apply to the area's you run.

 

No. I am saying that over axle DOES NOT go on CSA. Failing to stop (and being either over axle, over gross or combination) will go on CSA and you'll be cited w/additional moving violation.

 

Yeah, if you are "legal" and do not stop, shame on you. There are several charges that they can write you up for in case you "run the scales".

Correct!! Absolutely worthless on the Interstate which includes service roads and under Interstate bridges. The state can't authorize OWP on a Federal Highway.

 

False. I have a permit to run over 80k on the interstates in SD. Also have a permit to run over 80k on I-80 in NE. Also have a permit to run over 80k in UT on all routes. I can run 86k with my spread in OR, WA, ID, MT and WY, no permit required.

 

Should've asked the scalemaster if you could adjust your weight

 

*used to pull a pneumatic... if you have an air dump on the trailer it works better but you can slam on the brakes and throw the load in either direction.

 

Question.

My truck and float (spread axle) weigh 34,500
So i can only pay load at 45,500
Most shippers want 48,000

My truck is rated at
Steers: 14,500
Drives: 42,000

So what do i need to do to haul more then 80k ?
Some state let me register for 85,000 but some wont. Any sugestions?
