Ticket for tandems?

Did he measure anything? Did he do a DOT inspection? And do you have a copy of your BOL and a cat scale?

 

many states have max kingpin to rear axle laws some are measured to the center of the rear most axle others to the center of the group but if you were stretched out too long for where you were running no scale needed to write that ticket.

 

So, it wasn't a BS ticket? Well, go ahead and pay it. It's a non moving violation.

 

it won't help it but i can't see it being a huge deal. its not a moving violation, you shouldn't get fired for it unless you already have several other mess ups

mind your p's and q's pay more attention next time

 

I know this has nothing to do with your question, but I am trying to figure out why you were running the trailer tandems so far back. Yes, it was just a hundred bucks and it doesn't hurt your record, but that was you handing away an easy c note for no reason. I can't see losing a hundred bucks just because...that's unnatural.

 

Your ticket has nothing to do with your BOL. Its over length, even if you were empty, would not matter. He simply looked at your trailer going don the road your axle was less than say 3 panels from the rear your over 40.

 

I asked about the BOL because I thought that he had the axles slid back because he was heavy. The only reason why I wouldn't have the tandems all the way forward would be because of the axle weights.
