Two years ago I was driving a rental flatbed that was obviously not overloaded. I wasn't thinking and drove past a weigh sation on I85 in south Georgia. It cost me $350. The officer said "Haven't you heard, we have a revenue shortage. We're giving tickets for anything now."
No, he dosen't It starts at 1 ton but isn't enforced unless sonthimd is way out of whack
But big trucks are the oppisite,I have been ticketed for non required lights.
