Michigan's Weight-per-Axle limit

[Honky Tonk]

Is the limit even enforced? I always see closed weigh stations on I-75 going up north.

I'm not totaly positive, but don't the weight and measures people patrol the freeways in a squad car, and have a device that the truck rolls one wheel on, and they can tell whether or not it's overweight?

Yeah, but I don't know how many of those positions are still left in State gov't. I think I seem them once or twice a year.

I see the 'hit-squad' blacked-out SUV on I-94 between Inkster and Southfield often...they've got eyes for anyone without the DOT number plainly printed on the side, even down to white box vans.

Only see them weighing occasionally, though.
