Sucks that they think your running a business through interstate commerce with your big ole truck.
The 'wonderful' state of California has been a pain in the kabonza for the Trucking industry for a long time. I would have the axles set for the proper weight distribution so I'd be under 34,000 lbs on my trailer axles. You'd get pulled into the scalehouse, stopped in front of the scale. The DOT officers would come out with a tape measure & see how far your trl axles were from the 5th wheel on the truck. If you're pulling a 53' trl, they'd always say you were in violation of the 'bridge law'
, make you slide you axles forward to comply, roll you across the scale, see that your now OVERWEIGHT
, and write you a nice big overweight fine.... complete with a court date. Which, is very convenient, if you live in Missouri. I would not want to live there. Nothing but a pain.
It sounds like they just make it difficult for everybody. Although, I do enjoy vacationing there for some of the beautiful sights.
