    Theyre revenuers. Sleeping on the shoulder of a ramp is a 3point 3 year violation in virginia. Same as reckless driving.


    Virginia is for TICKET lovers.

    Maybe Boyd too? I remember Boyd had a couple of rail trucks with the engines laid over horizontal so they could get more payload length.

    One time I was in Cali pulling two Bobcat skid steer loaders with my company’s seven axle setup. Sure enough I got pulled in, and I had the permits ready. Well, the scale man takes my paperwork and calls the department of revenue in Nevada, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. He had the idea for these states to charge per lug nut. I protested.

    The legislature wasn’t in session because of the holidays, and the red tape of bureaucracy had me there three weeks. When I drank my last drop of sweet tea, I unloaded the back bobcat, got my torch and cut off the extra axles and loaded them back on the trailer. I dug a hole out near Terlingua and buried them.

    If there is a warrant for me, oh well. I’m never going back.
