Overweight
Yeah, I figure if they want a closer look they can send the DOT car out. Act
dumb, ask for forgiveness later. I do not worry about being overweight, but over length with the trailer.

I pulled up to the stop light waited for the next message and then it read proceed to the scale... Now if they did not want me there, then why did they go through the trouble to have me go through the whole procedure to get on the scale and after weighing the BB the sign lite up with proceed to I-95... Nothing came over the CB to tell me not to get on the scale, there was no message to tell me to proceed to I-95 before I went through the weighing process... You would think if I was not to be there why would the take the time to have me go through the scales??? I do not know... I will in the future I will just avoid going through MD on I-95...

Stopped one time at an INS checkpoint for aliens where a sign stated all commercial vehicles and buses must stop. Had a specific arrow where the bus should go. The officer looked at me like I was nuts, took the dog, sniffed the joint and said see ya, don't stop again. So, I keep going now.

Three or four lines of large letters, Max. The Federal DOT recommendation is for 3 signs: Weigh Station 1 mile. Weigh Station next exit. Weigh Station ->. A fourth sign, specified "if required by law" says All Trucks Commercial Vehicles Next Right or All Trucks Commercial Vehicles must exit Next Right In Maryland's case, they don't require all trucks to stop. Just those over 10,000 lbs GVW. So the important thing to them is to get the "over 5T GVW" into the sign, and they do it at the expense of the Trucks Commercial part. They don't want the lighter delivery trucks, which have to stop in many states, from cluttering things up. The non-standard wording, rather than trying to increase the number of exiting vehicles, is actually designed to decrease them. Here's a typical from Colorado, just to show that Maryland is not alone in using wordage that could possibly be construed to include RVs: All Trucks Commercial and Towed Vehicles Must Exit Next Right But guess what? They don't mean me with my Jeep Liberty toad. I refuse to spend my time, while traveling down the road, trying to figure out what law a disgruntled new police officer might mis-apply to me - there's got to be thousands of such very unlikely possibilities. There's enough real laws I have to concern myself with! On 4/6/2007 at 12:47 PM Larry wrote: >Tom, >For the most part they are all correct...
