If you go thru the state scales and are overweight, you get a ticket...typically a very expensive ticket and they may detain you until you can get another truck in to offload the excess weight.
Legal axle weights are generally 20,000 on a single axle, 34,000 on a tandem axle, and 80,000 lbs on 5 axles. Do you really think you exceed any of those weights? Seriously? All those 'big numbers' confuse people..........You're not going to jail.
Go back and read the question.
The OP asked why trucks use CAT scales. Yes, trucks do exceed those very large numbers and they do get very big tickets if caught.
