    I agree with you sir, but the MAJORITY OF YOU do not make this an issue and you silently and without reservation do NOTHING about it

    In the powder world the shippers load us on scales, no big deal. You simply require the shippers to supply a certified shipping weight on the load. They do it in our world works just fine.

    Quit your bellyaching you snotty nose rookie. Pull up your big boy pants and tighten up that belt a couple more hoops. Now gird up your loins!! Save all that teary eyed stuff for Oprah. All this boo hooing over nothing. You should be on your knees kissing the feet of the shippers who are giving a load to get down the road so u can do what u actually get paid to do DRIVE. So calm your britches down and stop your hating of the system. Stop hating the players hate the game.

    they wont let 800 lbs slide here in CA, 200 ok. but 800 is a ticket. In my case the company pays for weight tickets. Not axle but gross. They also pay all scale tickets.

    Why would someone want the government to intervene with something that goes against their interest?
