Something that came up on the news lately here was a denver pull over of all loaded trucks for weighing and quick inspection. I was just talking with one of the guys that works for the state that was assisting in the pull overs. On the pickups they not only looked at the load of the vehicle, but also at the tires under it for condition and RATING. Some of the pickups ticketed and forced to unload actually were within their axle weights but they were not in the limits of their tires. He also told me something that shocked the hell out of me. The big gravel/rock hauling rigs are almost always as much as 50% over weight. The fines are so (relatively) cheap in this state that the once a month that a company gets caught is nothing. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
