Illinois axle weight tolerance

I don’t think there’s a tolerance for legal loads.

 

Lots of states have some sort of leeway for various conditions. Doesn't look like Illinois does. Only thing I see is exemptions for special operations.

Illinois is so broke they need all the money they can get, best thing to do when in doubt is navigate around the chicken house, all of them are easy to get around.

 

I try to do this in all states I travel through. I already have too many people in my pocket as it is.

 

Last time I was in MD in a truck 2008 or 2009. No plans of even visiting in a car but I do appreciate knowing that. Never know when things could change.

 

Chicago is a ridiculously dense market. LOTS of $$$ in Chicago. You should know this especially if you're a trucker. Illinois is broke meaning the state gov can't balance a budget. I rarely stop at a scale in Illinois. The troopers are not nearly as aggressive as other states that don't have state revenue like Illinois.

 

Go around them if in doubt.
Ill give you away around each if needed
