Cost of overweight tandem ticket.

What were the dot violations?

 

Some people weigh their loads and some people take their chances. If you get 1 ticket a year @ 200 bucks and hauled 150 loads, weighing none of them... that’s 150 X 11.50 scale fee = 1725.00 in scale fees minus the 200.00 fine= it pays to take chances.

 

Well driver if your paying your own scales then your foolish with your money, companies generally want you to weigh loads over a certain weight is also for safety concerns, This driver doing the posting is not doing his job at all, not weighing out, not setting his axles, not checking the reg dates, driving a tractor with bald drives..... Shows either inexperience or indifference either is quite dangerous to everyone one of us sharing the highways. But this is what you get when you have trainers that do not know what to teach.

Back to can't teach what you do not know.

 

Where did he say he had bald tires?

 

Word to the wise...when you pay the ticket save your receipt forever and I mean forever,I know captain obvious but hang on...I had a overweight ticket in Missouri...6 and I mean six years later they said it was never payed ,I told them they were wrong and their reply was no prob just show us some proof.needless to say I had to pay it again...
Foristell suxx..I say again save that receipt

 

They shouldn’t bother you for 40lbs. If you have a spare tire under the trailer move it behind the cab, or sth.

 

You will be fine with that. Under gross and forty over on tandems is good. I can't really see the DOT bothering you for this.
