    Yeah, was hoping he will say over a bit on his drives so he can slide his 5th wheel and put weight on his steer.

    Best not budge. They'll be waiting for you in Rockport Mo by the Iowa line. My advice would be to call a cross docking company and get them to unload some lumber into a straight truck and pay them to follow you to the delivery site or bring it out shortly after you get there.

    you had nowhere to scale the load that means you not that far from the shipper and you just got loaded on sunday.how did you got hold of the amish to load you if they didnt have a phone?drive back to where you got loaded knock on their door,unload some lumber and hit the road.fight that ticket since there was no scale within a reasonable distance from the shipper.i hope you didnt drive few hundred miles thinking that with a spread everything should be ok.

    Missouri recognizes the spread but he's over gross; u can be good on all axles but if ur over gross then ur not going anywhere.
