In defense of truck drivers who received letters informing them of penalties for overweight violations, OOIDA told the Indiana Department of Revenue that it is concerned the assessments are “improper, fundamentally unfair, and in some cases, unlawful.”

OOIDA members have reported receiving letters from the Indiana Department of Revenue to provide notice of “proposed assessments” related to alleged overweight violations noted during truck inspections. According to OOIDA, some of the incidents occurred months or even years ago.

The letter to truckers provides them with the options of either paying the proposed assessment, attempt to negotiate the amount of the penalty via email, or file a protest with the Indiana Department of Revenue.

On March 5, OOIDA President and CEO Todd Spencer wrote a letter to the Indiana Department of Revenue to question the assessments.
