wingnut Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 They are insane. I got popped 66 in a 55 (I was towing) on Cajon pass in June. The fee went up $40.00 by the time I paid it, it was up to $360.00. When it was all said and done with the fee amount, traffic school and online I.D. Verification it was $500.00 bucks......come to find out after the fact it was a one point violation!!! Ooof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspadoo Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 My Nephew / employee was cited for driving one of my rigs on a street designated "non-commercial". was also sighted for: dis-obeying traffic sign (no trucks) failure to yeild to an emergency vehicle ("took too long to stop") no motor carrier permit (officer ran old ca numbers) had current copy in crane (misdermeanor) assessed an additional $300.00 for "impact on local community" no weight stickers (do not need on a crane in Ca.) non current address (just bought a new house a couple months ago in the city where he was being cited) So because of the citation, the city stands to earn more than a grand, however, he may loose his job due to insurance dropping him, so they will loose his property taxes of over 3k a year if he looses his home plus my co. spends over 6 figures a year to other businesses located in the city where sighted which will go away. Just stupid to keep on putting the burden of the current economic crisis on the sholders of the residents... Oh, and all of the BS new CARB regulations, which have been proven to be nothing but smoke and mirrors, are estimated to cost each household in ca about 5k annually once implimented...

ltr450rider Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 no weight stickers (do not need on a crane in Ca.) I thought all commercial trucks need the sticker on the door of the truck, it's not the crane, but the truck that carries it. Not talkin crap or anything, just what I understood.

Not talkin crap or anything, just what I understood. Negative; In the state of Ca. cranes and concrete pumpers are non- commercial vehicles. Read Chp Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Manual HPM 82.5 5-1 through 5-4, 7-3 through 7-4. My cranes are registered as automobiles, cranes and concrete pumpers are allowed to do this and are exempt from weight fees. No BIT inspections required as well, just can't have 32 or more square feet of deck space available for a load.
