Overweight * USA - Farm trucks could bring heavy penalties
Washington,DC,USA -Agriculture Online -4 Apr 2007: -- Farmers who haul agricultural commodities and inputs should weigh the consequences of operating trucks thousands of pounds over the legal limit, says a Purdue University Extension specialist... Violators can be forced to park their loaded trucks until they replace the plate with one that reflects the vehicle's weight. They also could face fines ranging from 5 cents to 10 cents per pound for every pound a truck, trailer or semi-tractor/trailer weighs above the plated limit... Laws addressing the transportation of farm commodities can be confusing, because they incorporate both state and federal statutes...
