* Being over the Max weight at xx inflation mark on sidewalls - some states have that in their codes
* Being over the paid tonnage in some states - your mistake
* Having an unsafe looking load - again your mistake
So what is it you think they are going to use to drain ones wallet, as they do not drain hotshot drives wallets that tow a lot more than 99.999 percent of RVers.
