Chewy352 and CoyoteExpress Thank this.

For $78, it's probably going to cost more to fight it. I doubt the water added up the difference in weight. One of the scales was out of calibration. I'd lean towards the mill scale being off.

Never trust a scale at a shipper, with the CAT at least they stand behind what they sell. In most places, anything under a thousand over, they usually just yell a little and inspect the truck and send you on your way, but VA is really into making money. No points, CSA or even DAC, just give us your money and continue down the road

You missed my point. Points and stuff he mentioned are not assessed in any state. Va isn't doing anything different there. Overweights don't add points in any program anywhere. And to imply Va is just grubbing money while doing you the favor of "not assessing any points if you just pay up" is simply erroneous. No points will be assessed under any program anywhere anyway. He didn't do a "kind assessment of the facts" because no "facts" where presented.

No implication was made of a "favor" of not assessing points. An ASSERTION was made that that VA will do anything, anytime, anywhere in their jurisdiction to make the cash register ring.
Let's not overthink this.426yankee, johndeere4020 and MJ1657 Thank this.
