    Haha, yeah farmers in these parts (at least this one) overload to the max. He routinely hauls out of the field grossing 100k+. Many outlaws of the fun days of trucking seem to be in farming nowadays.

    32 liquid fertilizer.

    I've heard some stories of weights that hit the scale at co-ops around here, 100k on a tandem truck and trailer isn't uncommon. One guy I know is 120k on his at least once a year, with a C12 Cat.

    That's the way it is around here during rice harvest. They usually try to load a reasonable ( I didn't say legal) amount and it's almost always on doubles. If there's rain forecast or they want to finish a field so they can move the harvesters overnight they might get a little aggressive on the weights.
    The commercial cops show up every once in awhile but it's rare to see them stop a load of rice. Actually it's rare to see them stop any kind of harvest truck.
    Once harvest is over it's back to business as usual though.
