[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1059048, member: 6408"] Couple questions here. You said each trailer was 40,000? Times 2, that's 80,000, right? Pluse you tractor/dolly, that's over 80,000, right? What's your states max? Or what was your meet drivers max license on the cab card? If they also are licensed, that is, on the registration, for 80, then it makes no difference if they have tandem axle or not. Max is max, no matter how many wheels you got. Now, of course, in diff parts of this state, we have loads going to other states or areas where there are lighter (no pun intended) weight restrictions, hence some of our tractors are licensed for, say 80 in this state but when we cross state line, then we are licensed for higher limit. Is this the case here? Just asking. AND you said you got misdeanor charge? That's a charge, right? Court charge with fine, right? In the state I live in, overweights, do, indeed, go on our license. That's why, when I got dinged 3 times in 3 weeks, even tho I was collecting delay time waiting for MTs to arrive or other drivers to arrive and switch I was still gettting dinged by my state. Oh, yeah, it dropped off after awhile but how many misdemeanors can one have? I don't know? AND, another thing that was starting to REALLY annoy us was the company wasn't paying the fines in a timely manner. We had one driver, my former sleeper partner, that was held at the scale in a diff state because previous fines weren't paid yet. They were gonna throw him in jail. Just a couple qestions is all. Enlighten me. [/QUOTE]
