    Last time I went into a scale in TX overweight I told the trooper to go f himself, got into a fist fight with him then I handcuffed him to the guardrail coming into the scale in his undies.

    In Oklahoma you have to pay the fine on the spot. But then your ticket is your overweight permit for the load.

    Texas overweight tickets are expensive and they like to make you unload or reload. But unless you’re going south of San Antonio I wouldn’t worry about it.

    We are. We are hitting the road in the morning. I wish I could have drove all night but we worked 12 hours today and I have to travel back in a convoy of three vehicles and 5 people. I am ready to get home and spend some quality time with the old lady if you know what I mean.

    Run it. Don't speed and you won't even get looked at. I just came out of OKC yesterday, although I went S to SA before coming out here to Midland. DPS isn't messing with any trucks right now as far I can tell. We're all just out here trying to survive.

    As for a good route, OKC to Lawton to Wichita Falls (you can bypass WF by going west through Haynesville, go S on 25 to Electra and continue on that to 277) take 277 all the way to Snyder and 350 to Big Spring, hit 20 and you're home free.

    We made it without issue. Had to go through one scale but it was a single platform. When I stopped for fuel I weighed. 75,360 gross, 36,440 tandem, 27,720 drive, 11,200 steer.
