Depends on the truck, but (no trailer) weights run fr0m about 18,500 to just over 20,000.

Before anyone pushes that, they'd better get a fresh scale ticket showing they are light enough to pass.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
