So I get my trailers from my meet driver..He tells me they feel "a bit heavy" I went thru the scales, and immediately am told to park. Turns out the set was 13,000 pounds over the state's weight limit. $1400 fine and a misdemeanor charge. Two trailers were over 40,000# each. So aside from the big charge for the whole set, there were citations written for every overweight trailer. I had no clue, since the trailers are not weighed. Needless to say, I did get paid 1.5 hours of overtime waiting for the officer to write down all the charges-which I thoroughly enjoyed feeling my wallet get heavier as the minutes clicked by.
The trailers got to me because the previous drivers all use tandem axles.
A great day's pay!
