Cost of overweight tandem ticket.

§390.21 Mandates these numbers be on both sides of the vehicle.Then (3) (c) (3) goes on to be another of those gray area's in the rules that make me want to scream. ( Be readily legible, during daylight hours, from a distance of 50 feet (15.24 meters) while the CMV is stationary) by grey area this 50 foot requirement is up to the inspector to determine. Do you honestly believe an inspector that is already angry might lean to violating anyway on this 50 foot issue when these numbers have been hand marked like this just because they can!

However this is not why I quoted your comments. I quoted these comments because I honestly doubt this driver even knew what those numbers were to even write them on the truck before or after. Speaking of this I can not remember if the numbers are part of the single state, IFTA or other legals or not. I don't remember because I never drove a CMV without those numbers clearly on the sides of the vehicle. Nightmare time on the side of the road if those numbers can't be determined.

 

Jeesh in Ohio you know your fine before you leave the scale because you ain't leaving without paying it! And having the load reworked and re-scaled!

 

Real Outlaws don't bother with this stuff, either.

 

Can you show a picture of your CAT scale ticket. What were you hauling. You were under gross but could not get the weights right. Weird. About a month ago I hauled a beer load out of Ohio. Took me all day and night and a re work to get the weight right. Turns out the shipper did not properly compensate for the reefer. Sounds like everything was put in the back of your trailer.

 

about 175 schoomlian's, Its your job to know how and where the weight in your trailer is, you probably had your tandems stretched out like the super trucker book say's is cool. Well cool has a price. as far as the numbers on the side next time you'll pretrip the truck, then go boot your worthless boss in the butt for not putting the numbers on

 

Curious as to how long it took you to hand over your dl and reggie/ins card.

 

I paid 77 for a 1440 trailer axle ticket in Missouri last summer. I’d say probably between 100-200. They will suspend your license if you don’t pay it once it’s been handed down. Over axle isn’t points so it’s not really worth fighting unless you just really want to. I’d say pay it. It can be paid online.

 

Depends on the state. I got a good one in Virginia twenty years ago. Grossing 86k on a 65k limit road. That one hurt my feelings.

 

Just pay it and move forward, half these <Removed by Moderator> on here consoling you about what to do probably ran over weight once.

Besides even though you need to run legal wieght, bridge law is antiquated, needs to be redefined to meet current road build engineering.
