    Just hook up a dummy light or a loud dinger of some sort with the switch so when its thrown to let the air out of the bags on that axle the light is on or the dinger is on. Call it a day and how are you going to forget about the axle being dumped when you have a loud annoying sound in the cab like your door is open on a car.

    Hey you all
    I went to court, after the hearing my fine reduced to $1000.00 still to high for the human error I take it is fair for the bankrupt state of IL . I will never travel state of IL if my life depended on it.

    Its still too high I agree, better than a pinch over 5g's though. Like you I avoid the state of Illinois like the plague. Just don't seem right to say glad it worked out for you. But then again about any over gross I ever got was 1000 or more. All we can do is pay the man.
     
    TURKER Thanks this.

    And that is one of the many reasons that if I ever get back into OTR I am moving from IL probably down to TN or over to IN before I even establish my business.
     
    TURKER Thanks this.
