    For comparison, Wyoming allows 55k on tandems and 65k on tridem on standard permits.

    And In Georgia an annual blanket permit is only a few hundred dollars. But you gotta buy it ahead of time …

    they got out cheap for getting caught having an oversize load after dark with no permit .

    I was dodging that scale one time and thought I'd been had. I had just turned off of 223 onto Louisville Road (weight restricted) and was about halfway to Natures Way when I met a trooper going the other way. I about #### a gold turkey. He never turned around.

    That's been years ago and I don't do that sort of thing anymore.

    Ive dodged em too
    Used to get off I-20 at Thornton road or somewhere and cut over to 285 to dodge that one , and go thru Carrollton to dodge the other one

    took a load to Huntsville Al one time on a Sunday and thought something was wrong with my old cabover 350 Cummins cause it barely made it over six flags hill , and some of the hills north of Birmingham, then pulled onto the scale at the dog food plant in Huntsville and Watched the numbers just keep increasing , was grossing 110

    Apparently someone thought that a trailer wasn’t loaded if you still had room for another pallet or two

    If you violate the rules and provisions of a permit, they write you a ticket according to the rules they set out for general freight. Length, width, height and weight…each one could be a different ticket. So running after hours may not be a ticket, but voids the OSOW permit. Make sense?

    Says the person who said we don’t know what time it happened or life happened.

    How is that dramatic? You proved my point about it being early evening. It wasn’t midnight. He got held up trying to get back to the yard. That is life as an equipment hauler.

    quite the opposite of being dramatic. Don’t get me wrong. He was in the wrong and got caught. Again that’s life as an equipment hauler.

    And you don’t know what happened. You just know what the po po said on Twitter and it’s obvious you don’t know what a local equipment hauler has to deal with. So I think you should save your judgment.

    Actually Georgia DPS put it on their Facebook page-which is what they usually do for any egregious violations. And nobody said it happened around midnight,the article and the citation clearly stated what time it happened. And you don’t know if he got held up trying to get back to the yard.
    He F’d up,he got caught-that’s all there is to it. Quit trying to make excuses for this driver and trying to make it look like he’s a victim!
