    I would say anything above 500 is pushing it.

    Remember this is all subjective. Subject to if the officer is an A-Hole, or not. If he just got an A-Chewing from his supervisor, or not. If he had a fight with his wife, or not. If you, or others before you have pissed him off, or not.
    The only way to be sure, is to stay within the weight limits. (Like this is really EASY to do...):biggrin_2552:

    How and where are you draining 600+ gallons of water out of your tank in the scale parking lot?

    I haul bulk commodities and I've been told 3% of gross basically to allow for ice and snow build up in the winter months, but don't go thinking you can load that extra 3% unless you are in a position to make a charitable donation. That said I've been let go 1000kg over gross before so I guess it comes down to the LEO and the mood their in at that time

    At the Inkom northbound scale, before the rest area was taken out, on the far right hand side of the lot, right over the edge. You couldn't see it from the office section if you parked in the right spot.

    When you're young, you have a lot less fear.......
