Got on the road a half hour before sun up. Zig-zagged (that's the way the stupid State routed me.) my way up toward Fleming, Colorado. At the scale in Colorado The DOT cop said I was 800 pounds overweight on my drive axles. He had me re-weigh just to make sure. I was only 180 pounds over. He got his thong in a wad for 180 pounds!! A 20 year old, snot nosed, kid with a badge. Total jerk!! He finally decided not to give me a ticket, gave me my papers back, and off I went. What he didn't know, and I sure wasn't going to tell him, was that I knew that I was over weight by 1260 pounds with full fuel tanks. I had not filled up with fuel and went over his scale on the fumes!! There was a truck stop on the other side of the scale and after I left there pulled in and got fuel. Was way overweight again !! But there were no more scales that I was going to cross before I deliver. I made my way up to Fleming, CO and delivered the hub. Don't have another load lined up yet but it is sure to be east of here so I headed that way. Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Ogallala, Nebraska.
