    depends on the state and how much over you were. Most states have a "formula". Were you cited and released or did you have to adjust the weight ? before leaving

    Check your local ordinances. Half the time your DOL handbook and your safety handbook will have those permitted sizes.

    I've always heard $1 per pound. May be completely bs...but that's the impression I'm under.

    That doesn't sound much but seems it would get expensive in a hurry!

    I've heard it's typically $1+ a pound if it's overgross, and for axle generally around $.25 a pound. I've never received one and the one guy whose ticket for overgross I saw had no fine listed nor would the officer at the coop tell him anything so just going off what I've heard from others...
