State steps up enforcement
against trucks on rural roads
LANCASTER Farmers
and farm service businesses
m Pennsylama have been hit
with a rash of fines for
violation of state highway
and bridge weight limits.
In almost all areas of the
Commonwealth, the poor
condition of state highways
has rendered the roads and
bridges unsafe for use by
heavy trucks and
machinery.
On major highways the

problem usually is
remedied. But on the back
roads and byways of the
state the usual answer to a
deteriorating bridge has
been to post a weight limit
sign rather than to increase
the strength of the bridge.
It has led to some
humerous situations. One
bridge across the Octarara
Creek in Lancaster County
has posted weight limits on
both approaches to the span.

But the weight limit for
those driving into the county
is two tons greater than for
those coming the other way.
Not so funny are the fmes
which state police have
levied against those who are
cought brmg gram trucks,
milk tankers, bulk fertilizer
trucks and other farm
related rigs across posted
bridges.
Fmes run $75 for every 500
pounds a truck is over the
maximum weight limit
Fmes can go as high as
$lO,OOO.
Has there really been such
a big mcrease m police
activity on posted roads’
“There is no question that
I can answer that m the
affirmitive,’’ said Penn
sylvania Farm Power
Equipment Association’s
George Wolff.
He points to recent
Federal government action
as part of the reason for the
crackdown on overweight
trucks.
The federal government
has said individual states
must show more strict en
forcement of highway laws
or they will not get federal
cost sharing funds.
Pennsylvania, along jvitn
12 other states, was among
those to feel the crunch.

authorized 16 permanent
scales to be put into place.
And starting June 1, the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation purchased
enough portable scales that
they have 30 teams working
across the state to weigh
trucks and wagons.
“That caused quite a
npple,” Wolff said.
The problem, he points
out, is the method of
weighing the trucks.
In the past all weighing
was done on platform scales
and that recorded gross
weight.
Now much of the weighing
is Hone on portable scales,
and the process is based on
axle weight.
The problem is most acute
on the three and four axle
straight trucks. On three
axle trucks there are air
bags rather than springs. A
change m the air pressure
can change the weight
recorded on the scales.
Weight can be changed
depending on placement of
load Wolff recommends
putting the heaviest part of
the load far front.
Try backing a tractor onto
a flatbed, he advises, to get
the heaviest part of the
tractor up over the front of
the trailer and reduce the
