List Of Fines Or Points
Topic 29990 | Page 1
Fines on weight tickets vary from state to state so there’s no real way to find an actual list. Could they have issued a ticket? Sure but it really depends on just how much you were over as to whether or not they’ll issue. Axle tickets only count as a fine to the driver and no points are assessed to you. No CSA points are assessed to the company either as long as an inspection isn’t performed. In general, if you did get an overweight axle ticket, it’s not going to be all that much unless you’re working in oversized or specialized loads, then it gets expensive (don’t ask me how I know)
CSA:
Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)
The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle

The real bottom line answer to this question is the same answer as this question:
Who's holding the steering wheel?
There are certain circumstances where the "real" CDL holder/ trainer might be able to explain away some infraction, but the driver is responsible for their own actions.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I did have to go inside to speak with the lady officer. Perhaps my obvious naivete, and a little southern charm, got me off the hook.

Passing through Wyoming, I misunderstood the sign, my mind was foggy, but no excuses, I didn’t go in when the light was yellow, which states I had to park and go inside with my paperwork, well about 15 mins later I was cited for “not stopping at a weight station”, $440 Ouch... Read your signs...best advice I’ve got. I was overweight too by 400 lbs on my rear axle.
