Wow - you are dealing in some serious s*it! Is "machinerymoverschicago" a new business of yours? Bob

You can deal with it either way. Pay the "tax" first then claim a refund if you don't hit 5K a year. Or file for suspension and pay if you go over.

BUT either way you had better have VERY good documentation. Vehicle logs, driver logs, fuel reciepts and such to be able to prove the number.

Is that green thing the larger size Mr. Fusion?

Caught my eye too!

He's got to keep that anyway for the highway boys and he'll want it for tax porpoises as well...

True, But you know how Uncle Sam is about paperwork... Especially a hauler who claims to be running under 5K a year with a heavy rig.

Good idea. I think that what I will do is, I will pay the tax now, document my mileage, and then file for a refund if I am under 5k miles after a year.

I sure would like one of those little ones, wouldn't you? Garbage in, LIGHT SPEED (or time travel) out. How could it get any better?

Umm, Iggy? You did hear that part about 80,000# max with a standard rig, right? I have a feeling you drive that over a scale the way it's loaded in the picture, and it's gonna light up TILT by a good 5K to

And you start peeling Benjamins off that wad in your pocket and handing them to the nice Illinois Highway Patrol Ossifer till he develops a case of transient amnesia.

Or you let him write the ticket and the stack of bills (or the check payable to the State...) you hand to the Court Clerk is going to be a lot higher.

Oh, and don't try the Back Roads at 2 AM trick - Portable Scales.

It was not overweight, the stuff on it was mostly light, with the exception of the shear on the back.

I was wondering if that load arrangement w/ the shear on the ass-end like that might not have caused an axle limit problem, though...

Yeah, I know the shear is heaviest. If he's loading it that far back, that's telling me something down in the belly had to be just as heavy for him to offset the weight and get some of that shear behind the trailer axles. The big cylinder looks like a vertical boiler.

Because you sure the hell don't want to load it tail-heavy and unload the tongue/fifth wheel - or the tail tries to wag the dog.

And in something that big, a fishtail is going to scatter the entire load across all 8 lanes /real/ fast - I don't care how much chain you use and how heavy the binders, it ain't gonna be enough.

Everything went fine, no fishtail
