Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, A pickup truck, with a 8 ft bed, does not have to go thru scales, UNLESS, it has a GVWR of 10K or more. My truck has a GVWR of 14K. BUT it goes on to say, a pickup with an unladen weight of less the 8K does not. My truck weighs about 7400 lbs empty. Laws are very confusing....AND if a pickup has a utility bed, it has to go thru scales anyway. Because, a pickup has to have an open bed....otherwise it is a motor truck. and they do have to go thru scales.......:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: and flatbeds go thru scales as well......AND all of this goes out the window if you are hauling for hire.....

My '66 Ranchero had to have commercial plates. It could be registered as a passenger car, but if ever caught with so much as a bag of groceries in the back it was citation city. Drove 2 different service body trucks when I worked for Kasler, never a stop at a scale. At VAFB I was going home one day, got about 1 1/2 miles from the gate and traffic is stopped at the exit. Waited my turn. Got to the gate the MP asks "Do all of these boxes have something in them?" " Yes they do, and all of them are locked." "Get the f@#$ out of here. I don't think you have anything stolen." "Yes Sir. I'm gone." :lol:
