    I don't care about dac or CSA. And there's no point in weighing the load. Anytime I'm loaded I'm over gross by at least 5000lbs. Was just curious if I could get mandatory retirement lol. And I don't pay the fines. The owner of the fate pays. I go around all scales and try to bypass all dot men, but officer hass at Vernon tx has a thing for cow trucks.

    Did you get a vehicle inspection when you got the OW?

    That inspection form is the one that gets sent to CSA....the ticket/OW will be listed on the form, and will then show up, but without the inspection form, there is no way to report only a ticket!

    Are you talking PSP or CSA? how many points does an overweight get you, and what category does that fall under?

    It wasn't too long ago that it was posted that Georgia was doing tickets for being overweight on the axles also. Making more money for the state I imagine.

    He could care less about inspecting a cow truck, he just wants to check that ground pressure. Now if u happen to be legal, then u are getting inspected and will leave with a ticket of some sorts. And to the comments about if it aint loaded right or if you're heavy you won't leave with it- in cattle hauling u haul what is loaded, every time, no matter the weight. If u don't, the rancher will find someone who will and that will be the end of ur cowtruckin.
