Last year one of my drivers was stopped in Oklahoma and cited for not having his IFTA permit in his book. Evidently, we didn't put the new one in the permit book. Oklahoma is bad about checking IFTA when the new year turns. They would not allow us to fax a copy to the weigh station. I think the ticket was less than $100 which had to be paid before the driver was allowed to leave. In my case, we had the stickers on the truck but didn't have the new IFTA renewal in the truck.

 

I think part of the reason for so much of this regulation, & beauratic paperwork is the know that with so much to keep up with there is a good chance many folks will not have something in order, thereby revenue maker for states.. j.m.o.

 

That's exactly my point heavy,.... these jokers are no different than law enforcement, city code inspectors, or any group of people who enforce a set of laws and regulations. They are only human and born to make mistakes,...I just refuse to pay for their ignorance.
The best defense is for you to know the regs and to take a stand if there is "revenue making" in process.
I had it out with an AZ scale about my front axle weight,....argued with them for ten minutes and finally had to go to my truck and get out the DOT bible and prove it to them. Then in Cali for my battery box, and the lights on the front of my sleeper in Fl. I give more details later,...I have to get on over to Pittsburgh and pick up some steel.
