    So you pay for fuel and tolls?

    Are you a driver or an owner?

    Pennsylvania fuel isn’t expensive.

    Even if I blew through the signs like you did, I would still plead not guilty and request a trial by mail. Was there a warning or signs showing a truck route detour around the restriction or did you just come upon the sign and were left with no option?

    I’d still like to see the ticket for my own curiosity

    Same here: i thought you meant Carlisle-ish, since you mentioned rt.11, and York road etc.

    Nevermind.

    BTW, when i did OTR and had a delivery near Pittsburgh area, the truck ahead of me at the delivery had just gotten like a $14,000 fine for going over a restricted bridge.

    Put THAT in perspective.............

    Most likely the company went to court and it got reduced, but still..........
