    Those were left over from the trailer he pulled last week until someone told him "Get rid of that dry box comrade, we go hook to RGN. Make big cash"

    What's the WLL on a knot in a 3" nylon webbed strap? Must be close to an un-knotted strap I think?

    A neighbor of mine worked for a company that had, at least at that time, the largest overweight fine, $67,000.00. The driver over nighted in Michigan, near the Ohio state line. He had a load that required wide axles, and as my neighbor explained, Michigan allows 14', Ohio allows 16'. So, 3 miles from the state line, seeing as he was stopped already, he would widen the axles in the parking lot. He forgot that he was still in Michigan. He was nabbed before the state line, permit was voided, truck was weighed. $1.00 per pound over weight, with no permit!

    It was on the news WCBS radio. My neighbor was not the driver who did it.
