    And Did I convert a freight truck into a 4 axle? Or did I get a truck built for the job?

    I have lots of friends and I don’t control them anymore than I control you or your actions. I do not approve of the way they run their business but I can’t and don’t stop them.

    It is great that you feel you always have to be right, right down to questioning how I loaded a machine even after I explained why it was loaded the way it was. I am glad with all your experience loading my equipment that you can do a better job than me. Perhaps you should quit your day job and offer consulting services.

    It is your nonsense that is getting tiresome ...

    it would be better if you stick to your own gig and stay out of mine.

    I will be the first to honestly admit that I am trying to get by with what I have. I do, however, maintain what I have to be well maintained. And, gasp, I use a freight truck to haul relatively small overweight and oversize loads. Should I just kill myself right now?

    Had that discussion with a cvi at a minnesota weight compliance class. It was actually in regard to putting 425's on a 12k front axle. They said, in minnesota, your axle rating won't be checked. But, if your in an accident... bend over, and kiss your ### goodbye.

    In an accident, tort law applies. If you were rear ended, it does not matter what your front axle rating was. If you rear ended someone, then in most circumstances you are liable anyway and your axle rating does not matter.

    This is a similar argument to the one I posed about the dashcam recording your speed. The axle rating one I think is or could be different in a court of law.

    For example, if I have 50,000 on a set of 46,000 rears and a car pulled out in front of me and I ran over them what would the charge be? A set of 50,000 rears has the same brakes as the 46’s.

    Like I said before I’ve searched extensively and I can’t find anything in Ohio that says I can’t load more than the rating.
     
    Oxbow, Humblepie and CharlieK Thank this.
