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.

Someone please explain the whole CAT scale thing? Why do the truck stops have them?

Mr. G. O. M.,
Our max. axle weights are:
Front: 19,000 lbs.
Drive: 22,500 lbs.
Tag: 14,000 lbs.
Total--55,500 lbs.
I was a little over when I had a full tank of fuel (230 gallons) and full fresh water (189 gallons), so I adjusted on how much water I carry. I quickly become under weight once I burn some fuel.

We took a driving course. They said DO NOT GO THROUGH STATE WEIGH STATIONS. I'm just going from what we were told but if you are overweight through a station they can treat you just like one of the trucks and park you until you are legal. Not an experience that I want to have.
