On board weighing systems are quite expensive. Especially if they are anywhere near accurate.

As has been mentioned previously, get a weigh bridge ticket. Do it regularly and keep the receipts you have with the load weight. That way, if you are stopped, you have a credible defence to show that you have regularly weighed the vehicle to check different types of waste and how full you are.

If you are a little over on the occasion you get pulled at least you have some defence. Even put markers on the inside of the greedy boards.

What if you were way over weight when stopped, would those tickets suggest you were well aware of being well over weight??

I'm suggesting, Huck, that if one has a recordable history of weighbridge tickets, and perhaps, load lines, that if one loads to the lines one may well have a defensible position.

It's axiomatic that if one is loaded over the lines one would be overweight and one would know it.

If someone is, as you say, way over weight they deserve to get pulled. I though we were discussing being a bit overweight.
