Transporting Alcohol As A Motor Carrier

[Mike]

The last time I hauled beer out of AB out of Columbus resulted in a visit from the local police. The shipper insisted I leave and get a cat scale ticket. I refused off of my air gauges. Even their on-site scale showed I was over axle and illegal bridge weight. I think the bridge part really caught them off guard.

Finally the two initial officers brought in their truck compliance officer that was on-duty who set a few people straight as well on bridge laws and why that “dumb truck driver” was correct.

St. Louis AB is about the only one I really enjoyed working with. They knew the difference between loading a reefer and a dry van.

Would this incident stop you from hauling alcohol in the future? Or if under your own authority again wouldn’t stop you from investing in permits for the states that require it??

Unsure at this point in time.

The more I learn about a lot of things, the more I want to be a hermit.
