Scared as hell.

That is so true. But if that is all the paperwork a person has to prove anything, I guess that is what they would have to go by unless they drag you down the road to Petro and pay for a scale ticket, or to the closest state scale.

 

Them Texas boys ain't shy bout draggin us to an old Gin, elevator or Co op at night and puttin a gauge on ground pressure even if we got a certified scale ticket

 

In this case there might not be a sliding scale. It might just be a set fine for being overweight. No matter if it is 20 or 40 thousand over. Lets not forget most weight restricted roads like this are restricted by local law. if this is the case the officer might very well have discretion just by looking at the truck the vehicle is way over the set weight limit. In this situation the driver is dead meat. All this is at this point is conjecture because I have not seen the ticket or the code section the driver was found to be in violation of.

 

I know I have seen a dispatcher use Google maps on a computer to give directions to a trucker years ago when I road with my husband and we were at a terminal command center. It's worse now than it was then with restricted roads all over the place.

 

Check and mate .IN YOU FACE!!!
