Well I made it.
I scaled after picking up the load and the load was a little heavier than they said it would be. Over 26k is not good, especially since I only had around 20 gallons of fuel in the tanks. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I never should have booked this load. It's my standard m/o though, I learn by making mistakes, not so much by the other guy making mistakes.
I took I-70 to the PA turnpike but I didn't get on the turnpike. I pictured ugly stuff happening whether I used my ezpass or paid cash. It just felt like a bad move. So I took 119 to Greensburg and 30 over to Breezewood where I picked up I-70 again. Berkeley Springs to Winchester.
I've never been on that section of PA-30. It hits 2906 ft elevation just south of Johnston. Like you were talking about Roady, going up those hills was costing me drivetrain and coming back down was costing me brakes. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
460 miles in 10+ hours. Not a good day for the home team.
Edit: A good link I found on overweight penalties. Some states have harsh penalties. Wow.
