    was this a really high slump load that was dripping out of the back with everything rolling right? If so did your ticket from the company to take this load have a thin slump on the ticket? If so it should fall on the company,

    is the ticket in your name? Generally work related tickets don't go on your driving record.

    Yeah unless you can prove you were overloaded it is gonna be on you. I would first call up the DOT guy and see what he can do. You would be surprised and if he will not help fight it. Worst case scenario is you end up with the same problem and fine you have now.

    A local cop? That ticket can go away...
    That is BS the ticket went to you and not the company.
    Also being it was cleaned up by the company the Judge will probably throw it out.
    All you need is a lawyer to talk to the DA.
