Actually I need to correct my last posting. If you really make them mad you will not find the load. Because it somehow got put on another trailer and is on its way with another carrier.

OR is confusing, in the laws concerning overweight tickets they mention it as a traffic violation, and in the the list of traffic violation fines it is not listed as a moving violation.
WA is definitely a moving violation. If you search this forum back a few years you will find a driver that posted here that got his WA license on probation and then suspended from just from overweight tickets. -

No, like I said four traffic violations a year on your WA state license will put you on probation.

You'll be placed on probation for one year if:
- Ticketed for 4 moving violations in 12 months.
- Ticketed for 5 moving violations in 24 months.
When it comes to reinstate your license following the suspension, you'll be placed on another year of probation. If you're cited for one traffic violation during this second probation your driver's license will be suspended:
- 60 days for a 2nd suspension.
- 120 days for a 3rd suspension.
- 364 days for a 4th or subsequent suspension.
The guy in question just got overweight tickets. -
Think of it this way. If you are driving a CMV on a highway and it is over legal weight you are illegally operating the vehicle. This may be why that state does this.

Have a quick question:
Is the 53-foot mark on a given 53' trailer generally even with the back of the doors, the back of the door latch assembly, the back of the tail light housings, or the back of the rubber bumpers? Or maybe there is no universal 53-foot mark?
The reason I ask is because it's much easier to measure the bridge distance from the rear of the trailer (must have at least ten feet to the rear axle for CA) than from the kingpin (cannot have more than 40 feet to the rear axle for CA). But to do this reliably, you have to know exactly where the "rear" is. -
Don't get lost in this. States are not uniform on where these measurements start. You really need to buy a truckers atlas. ALL the information you need for this is in there.
