Please record yourself telling the motor carrier enforcement officer that after you pull off the portable scales. I would love to see the vid . Overload fines usually start at $1/lb.
You can also get several different fines.
Overload on registered GVW, overload on each individual axle, and overload on each individual tire weight rating.
Overload is also an automatic red tag (impound) until corrected.
So what? The odds of me getting stopped and weighed are tiny.
You're going to say you never drive over the speed limit either? Yeah sure!
