    Worst advice ever. You are out of service. If you move that truck you will jump from hot water to boiling. Your choices are to get a permit or get the weight off.

    Call the shipper or customer and ask what they want you to do with the extra weight. A wrecking company might come out and take it from you, if you have the owners permission to give it away.

    If you leave the scale house, it is a big NO NO! I don't think it is as severe as jumping an out of service order, but it would depend on how they wrote you up.

    The way I understand it if you are OOS and you violate it by leaving you are comiting a felony .

    i could be wrong but I wouldn't take a chance on it myself !

    Actually i don't think you can get a permit as that's a divisible load.

    DO NOT roll out of a Mo. scale house overweight seeing how you got a ticket. No matter how close to the border you are.. Don't ask. trust me.
    Call the shipper and tell them the issue like the other posters have said. With him being Amish they will not have a phone, but there hould be somebody to contact about this.
