State Transport (DOT) got me today

[SC74]

*** UPDATE 11/28 ***

Just got off the phone with somebody with State Transportation in Blythewood, SC. I questioned me being charged as a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) just b/c of my weight even though I individually own the truck, trailer, and tractor. He asked if I was in commerce - meaning was I on a "money-making" venture. I said "no, I was taking my tractor for my personal farm to a diesel mechanic to get worked on."

Blythewood is telling me that the officer who pulled me was in the wrong by giving me a Level 2 inspection if everything I had just told him was true (and it is!). He said just like has been said on here to not pay the fine yet until he investigates my report number so the citations I was charged do not stay on my record if they are false. He also said that the officer's superior would be calling me back today or tomorrow to discuss.

I was still at fault for being over weight and I understand that and will pay that fine. I will be getting a weight rated P-tag to solve that.
