Ignorant Officer?

I know that one, lucky to never have a problem there. He has an attitude.

 

I never have issues there, but i was overweight, was fighting a nasty snow storm from AZ all the way back to MI and had 3k lbs of ice on me. He knew it too but he just wanted to make my day even worse than it already was.... I rolled through there with a spread overweight numerous times after i got it and never got pulled over again

Because of the spread.

 

I know of a friend that had some problems at that scale. He lived up the road and was constantly getting called in.

 

Geez, now I feel extra special! I rolled across the scale on US-58 outside of Norfolk last week 1700 lbs over on the trailer.

They let me slide it off and roll...

Thank you Virginia DOT!

 

You are right you may have not needed all of those U bolts but if it is on the truck it is required to work or be in working order.

 

Loose or broken u-bolts are an OOS. I had a loose one last week and was talking to the company mechanic about it. He showed me the reg, I just can't find anything online yet. I'll post it if I do.

 

illinois is the one that splits weight on the tandems

now how dumb is that?

#### this stuff is dry....

 

I think if you will read his thread he was talking about the clamps that are put on to keep springs together in the factory and they have no use as for safety at all.Was not talking about the U bolts holding everything together.
