    I've never heard of a company rejecting a driver for one over axle ticket. Of all the things to hate about trucking, I wouldn't lose sleep over your situation.

    Thanks for all the replies, it sounds like this isn't as bad as I thought.

    Exactly, I got one coming into Atlanta because I could not shift my tandems on the worn out POS trailers we were using. It never appeared on my record.

    He is correct. An overweight ticket is not a moving violation.

    Overweights are meaningless unless an inspection occurred. They have no meaning or listing on driving record.

    They don't effect employment unless you rack em up.

    Just pay the fine and call it a lesson. Certainly not worth a lawyer to fight it. You'll still end up paying the fine.
