Truckee scales on 80 a few years ago. I get pulled around for an inspection and get put out of service for a LITTLE hiss in the airline. There were no air leaks. I just replace the airline with a spare. Problem solved and another problem pops up. The DOT woman has measured my trailer axle and told me I am overlength by ONE hole. I moved it one whole forward and ended up being overweight by 300lbs on the rear. I had a load of drums on. The clowns made me break the seal and take off that one single drum. :lol: I had to put the drum on another truck. Luckily it was light enough for 2 other drivers to help me move it. My second encounter was at the eastbound Joplin scales. The scale master said that I was 2k overgross AND 2500 over on the trailer. I told him that wasn't possible and if he would let me reweigh. He said sure I can.
Unfortunately it showed no difference. Again I had to move 2000lbs on another truck before I could leave the scale. And I got a overaxle ticket on that one,but no overgross ticket. BTW,I had 30 days to mail or pay the ticket by phone. They didn't make me bobtail to the court to pay it on the same day,LOL. :lol: The ticket was 240.00.
