The answer is simple. Is it worth your CDL?
If you have to ask, it's probably not ok. If it was ok, it wouldn't involve breaking the law.
Find another employer. There's plenty of them in this business. -
Sorry but I have to laugh when I see people making a big deal about being 80,500 or like 81,000. They have absolutely no idea what really goes on. Take a trip to Virgina, West Virgina, PA, KY or even southern Ohio and check out the coal trucks.
Last trip I took to down the coal roads I was amazed how no cars pulled out in front of me and if they saw a truck coming up behind them they got out of the way, and I wasn't even pulling a dump. People know what goes on and for the most part they stay out of the way.They seem to have A LOT more respect for trucks knowing how heavy they are.

Most of the last year I've been over gross or axle when totally fueled up maybe 1,500 or so.
If you know where you're going, where the scales are and which ones are open when it's not that big of a deal, just make sure to be low enough on fuel to cross the scale. -
