    That sucks! I forgot I had my Kershaw my kids gave me for father's day clipped on my pocket and they let me out of line to mail it home.

    That must be a load of Bud Light or Miller Lite because beer loads are always heavy. Just be glad you didn't get one of those Dark Heavy Beer loads of that Canadian stuff, you'd be dodging the scales.

    Seems the video was taken down or it just doesn't work for me. After what happened to Reginald Denny in 1992 I wouldn't stop either...F-em!!!

    Bastaaards tried to take this one time and I told them it was my castrating knife I’ve had for 20 years and I’d rather walk than give it up — they let me go put it back in the pickup

    So this was my day;
    B27B51C1-ABC2-4A33-9FE9-5A694E6A22F5.jpeg
    Pulled me over because a chain was “loose” then said he was going to weigh me. Scaled out perfect, axle spacings were perfect then he says I’m 14’ wide, I said nope so he said let’s check again 11’ 10”, he said “oops I did my math wrong” because instead of pulling a a tape across the draft arms he used a straight edge and measured from the trailer on each side then added them together. So after that failed he got out his height stick and checked my height. I was permitted at 13’ 11” and he said I was 14’ 2”. I said no way. At this point my boss shows up and sees me standing up on the scraper. He tells the deputy that his pole isn’t plumb and the top isn’t level so those two screw with it as I’m dropping a tape and this is what I got.

    So then he literally says “well I’ve got 13 foot 11 and a half inches” and that’s in violation. So he busts me back to 80,000 and writes me a $1900 ticket.

    We’re fighting this.

    Mostly Heineken, some strongbow, redstripe, and new castle brown ale.

    I know I'm good on weight but I think I'd rather have a bit more on the steers. Shes bouncy.

    My boss told me he was very proud of my restraint.

    Reading a tape is pretty technical and a fairly large % of the population don’t even know what one is
