Don't know what the fine is yet. It's kinda weird....they wrote us up for over gross and over axle but there is no mention of a fine. We have to plead and submit that plea by mail. That's when the hammer falls I guess? This is NY state.

 

So you was given a ticket for being over on your bridge limit? Is that what I am reading here?

 

No he was cited for being 260 pounds over his gross 80,000 lbs

 

I believe that some states, would give you up to 1000lb over axle, but no tolerance over gross! :roll:

 

The APU exemption that everyone is talking about in this thread is not mandatory for all states to honor.

When ever I'm over weight, it's always over gross. I also have a three axle trailer. From The New England states all the way down to FL, you can be over gross in those states and be ok. Depending on how much, they will fine you and let you go. I've been over 1000 and they have let me go. I've been over as high as 1500 and its a fine as high as $120.

I only get over gross with the snow birds. They pack their cars full of junk from tables, chairs, books and cloths. I don't like running over weight because your insuranse WILL NOT cover you if you are in an accident.

God Bless & Be Save!!

 

Who do you pull for? I'm on a waiting list for one of the larger enclosed car haulers (name withheld)
