I had a Rail container 44000 LBS hit the scales pulled me around 13,200 over on Tandems ,received a ticket they let me return to my home Terminal.
They said to call and get Fine and that will be the end of it , well turns out I have to go to Court this wednesday for my ticket,they said anything over 10,000 pounds you have to appear.Now I have to take off a days work to appear for this thing,the union Steward said to me that is my responsibility to make sure everything scales out before I leave the Yard ??????
The Company says they are sending a Representative from the company with me for my court appearance,
what is your take on this ?????????????????
From now on every trailer I take out I will run it over the scales ,And I think every Road driver should do it too make a traffic jam at the scales ,then they will start doing their job weighing every trailer that is hooked.
The bad part I have a ticket on my license now
