mowerman Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Wow I thought 150 for a log violation was bad lol It was actually way behind I lied to the inspector… I thought it was going to be much higher… this was quite a while ago bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40394-a-fare-lump-of-a-stick/page/3/#findComment-592527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago O/D load violations can be staggering. If they can find a reason to "invalidate" a permit, fines go back to legal limits. Not for the faint of heart. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40394-a-fare-lump-of-a-stick/page/3/#findComment-592528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I really don’t know much about overweight. I’ve never had one.. but I know a buddy of mine got fired $1400 .42 years ago for having placards on an empty trailer. I felt real bad for him. I mean, that was a lot of dough for honest mistake. We were just running these things locally around town drop and pick a just didn’t notice them grab and go operation … had to keep moving to make money… roadside inspection. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40394-a-fare-lump-of-a-stick/page/3/#findComment-592534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it is the same...I should know that and I don't. I'm sure somebody is rating something different today. 1000 ft.-lb. in these new pickups? Ya okay, I'd like to see your new Superduty pull 140,000 pounds up 12% grades all day like my old 350 Mack did, LOL And all these kids on facebook claiming their Ram Cummins makes 4000 horsepower on the dyno, LOL 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40394-a-fare-lump-of-a-stick/page/3/#findComment-592537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Ha ha well I’m not sure there might be a little truth to that towards the end of my driving career. I couldn’t believe how fast these guys were passing me on the hills with these huge camper trailers. They were just run right by me like I wasn’t moving.
