    You are talking about picking a container from the port, weighing it, (it's overweight) but you still haul it and want to know how much more to charge the customer ?

    A lot .

    but most states you can buy a blanket permit for overweight loads of the load originated Overseas that exempts
    You from the gross weight and axle weight limits . Up to a certain point .
