i would run that load.
thats sweet when the company pays your overweight ticket but its on your printout for 7 years.
my last ticket i was 300 over on the drives at the lumber mill and 200 miles later at woodburn ore 700 over and 40$ fine.
we have 8 axles and washington dont bother us under 1k but oregon is zero tolerance for us.

I just had a conversation yesterday with a fella at a shipper in SC about this and this is what he said: His company doesn't scale loads. If they are stopped and they are over weight then the officer gives them a ticket, the company immediatley wires a comcheck to the scalehouse and pays it and the paid ticket then acts a an overweight permit for the rest of the trip and he go's on his way.
