As broke as Illinois is I bet they fine for every pound they can now. I have no idea why the scale master told me I was close to maximum weight on my drivers.
One afternoon about that same time I was almost home, 20 miles from my last delivery, drove into a little thunder shower, couple miles later rain stopped, 2-3 more miles road was dry, I rolled my driver's door window down, had my arm resting on the window frame, Blinked my eyes and a bolt of Lightning struck my CB antenna clamped to the top of my driver's door mirror! It was now flapping in the wind like a horse's tail, coax cable blown out of radio, channel display was burned out, small electrical bits falling out on the dash. Get down about 5 miles from my delivery, scale is open, lady running the scale mummbles something over the intercom, Didn't understand it so pulled off scale and off to the side and walk back and into the scale. She said she thought I had bad oil leaks on both my drive axles, it was the rain mixed with brake dust. I told her it was nice to just talk to somebody, I had been about 2 feet from being hit by lightning ten minutes before. She looked at me like I said ai had said I was from Mars.
Had a buddy I drove with, he got distracted getting loaded one afternoon. Only had 38,000# put on his 45 ft trailer, but only 12-14 pallets, he didn't have forktruck driver single any skids, was WAY over on his drivers. At the time Illinois was only 32,000# on tandems, 12,000# on steering axle. His fine was almost $1000. He slid his trailer tandems and 5th wheel and got legal but still had to pay the fine.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
