I would have to agree, as someone who hauls oversized quite often myself. We know when we're legal and when we're not, unless he was from outta state, then maybe he didn't know. Here in Pa when you receive a permit it gives the route of travel, which they allow you to choose and they will reroute if there's any restrictions such as low bridges or road construction. I've run many loads without the permits simply because they are a joke and I don't like wasting the time or money to get them. It's simply a couple pieces of paper with the load info and your approved route of travel. I recently permitted a 104k lb oversized load and they had me crossing a bridge posted 36 tons combination weight. I decided to detour around it, only half mile outta my way at most. Which I then could have been fined the full amount since I wasn't on my permitted route. I feel the permits and or fines for not having a permit is simply just a way for the state to collect more money from the working people so they the state lawmakers can fatten they're own paychecks or retirement funds or to blow on some other unnecessary state funded project. . I do feel bad for the trucker though, I'm dreading the day I get hammered that much, I just hope I'm ahead of the system that much till then.
