[QUOTE="tarbar66, post: 785827, member: 1868"] I know where you are coming from but in the 90's the great state of Ohio was hard on UPS at the weigh station Pa./Ohio border on I-80. I think in 1 month there were 5 drivers that got waved around back for being overweight on the drive axle. The loads were school books on a rail box from somewhere in New Jersey. The load percentages were 40 or 50%. I think that some management person from the Youngstown, Ohio center would come out with a couple of partimers and spread out the packages to get the loads legal. I don't remember what the fines were but a couple of the drivers were unhappy that they had to work on OT instead of just waiting or sleeping. There was also a PADOT inspector that would pull over any driver that was unlucky enough to be driving an friend Model Mack in the late 1980's. He knew he could find a defect somewhere because the tractors were at least 15-20 years old. He commented to 1 driver that that was the only way he could ticket UPS equipment back then. [/QUOTE]
