    Hard to fight it if you are overweight.....

    That said, you really aren't paying the fine, but a bond to insure you show up for court. It just happens that the bond is the same amount as the fine.... Gotta love loopholes.

    At least in the few states I've looked into it anyway.

    We were two and three wide going past that coop on Thursday when they had it backed out into the road. No thank you. I’m not stopping in a live lane of traffic to weigh or show a permit. They can come chase me down if they want to, I’m pretty easy to find usually.

    since we're on the topic of weigh stations, there's an agriculture weigh station on I75 at the entrance of Florida. if I'm not hauling agriculture product, do I have to stop? I've been delivering loads to Florida and drive pass it every single time. nothing has happened yet. however I always see other trucks pull in so I don't know

    You will have to stop as long as the ag type stuff is listed on what you can haul
    If you take that off then you will get green lighted

    Now Florida’s agricultural officers WILL go through the trouble of chasing someone down who decides to bypass the station when they’re supposed to go in!

    I’ve ran them waving as I go by when there back up to the interstate here in Commiefornia. They’ve never chased me down.

    I think because we are a coastal State
    A lot of drugs and money pass through here
