Why should the trucker get in trouble if they have too much weight in the truck?

Shouldnt it be the company’s fault for telling the driver to go pick up that heavy load?

Drivers in charge and it’s same if he drives wagon with faulty brakes/ lights he should check before taking it out

Nope,drivers responsibility. He's in charge. His load, his everything. I was a driver. It's the way it is.

There is like a handle thingy or crank that you use to adjust the weight load in the trailer .that crank moves your tires forward or backwards depending on where it’s needed.. I think .. my dad was a trucker and I know we got pulled into some weigh stations sometimes and had to fix it that way

I totally agree with this I've been told/expected to do a lot of shady shit in most of the jobs I've had.

I wonder how anyone knows, before they get to the way station, how much a truck weighs and where the weight is concentrated.
I have loaded a lot of trucks with some pretty heavy stuff and not once seen a way to weigh the truck.
Both share a responsibility.
