The “weigh act” bill

Oh, it definitely is just pandering. Outside of Road Check I haven't seen an open weigh station in the last year and a half. Granted I'm running nights, but if we're not inspecting then we're not enforcing anything. 3 million inspections nation wide, 56% with violations, 20% OOS rate.

 

I'm for whatever it takes. However we're expecting the same people to clean up the mess that allowed it to happen in the 1st place.

 

One threat of losing federal highway funding and it’ll be overridden

 

It's a national bill, so who's going to be threatening to withhold federal funds?

 

My mistake, saw Florida and just assumed was state.

 

What law can't be overridden by an executive order these days?

 

That would depend on somebody actually doing something to stop it.

 

It’ll be interesting to see if some of these drivers get tested in multiple states. Passed ELP In one state then gets shutdown in another.

That’s about all that would need to happen to set lawsuits in motion.

All this and it’s only a oos violation.
