I have a friend that I call aggravated overweight Robinson. We were talking trucks once and he was telling me about overweight loads. He was hauling timber from southern NH to central ME. He had a heavy spec ten wheeler Mack tractor at the time and a tri-axle trailer. He told me that legal loads just didn't pencil out because the fine was only around $500.00 and for the length of the trip loading the trailer up paid him a lot more. A few months later we were talking and he told me that he had reduced the size of his loads a little because they had hit him with a summons for aggravated overweight, which carried a fine of well over $1,000. What many guys can't seem to understand though, is that nobody goes out in the morning intending to have a crash that day. In fact it is well known that 87% of all drivers consider themselves better than average drivers, and that 92% of drivers will tell you that they perform superior maintenance on their equipment. Still, somehow trucks get into wrecks, and people get badly hurt and even die, and truckers lose everything, and sometimes go to jail.
