Ive taken two books from Random House Westminster to Toronto Downtown of Ontario. Heavy loads. As fars I knew the American Scales could care less.
Only one time Have I had trouble with a Lawman for putting himself south on a formal ridge Just south of York on what I called Summit on I-83. Pretty thin. Long story short, he bails out of a tiny green mustang. Raises up a ####### bazooka to my face with me coming on at 60 loaded.
I set the wheel a smidge to goahead and take him out on instinct. But saw the Cord from the bottom of the #### thing to the interiror of the car. It took quite a bit to miss him by this much and then squawk about dumb idiot radar this was back in radio days, no cells either.
It was way way way WAY too early in my years to put up with something that stupid.
Good tidings? Positive ending? Certainy. I never saw him there ever again.

Showed up at a delivery recently with 4 tall pallets loaded right near the tail... I went inside the warehouse and saw a guy who looked busy working on something. He got irritated and said "It's gonna be a while before I can unload you, I'm busy with something".
I could tell he was serious, so I calmly went to the trailer and started cutting the wrapping off of one of the pallets...
He didn't pay much attention until I started breaking it down and bringing boxes in with a hand truck. I asked him where he wanted me to stack them... Then suddenly he decided he wasn't too busy to get a forklift and unload the pallets intact...

If it’s a union place, pull the pallets off yourself. That will really put a few people in orbit.

So I get to this place that ships 6' x 4.5' x 4.5' displays in metal boxes. Hit their dock, and am told that I absolutely am not authorized to use the forklift, and their guy would have to load.
After watching him enter at a 45* angle, bounce off the walls and crash the displays into one another, I informed him that either:
1) I load the trailer,
2) He finds someone who knows WTF they're doing,
3) The pickup doesn't happen, or
4) He continues trying to do something he obviously has no idea how to do, and his company can pay for the damage to my trailer and the other freight.
Guess who got instantly authorized to use the forklift...?
