Watched a guy get shut down at a scale in Arkansas last summer for the same thing. Trailer was tagged for 7k and he had a skid steer plus bucket on it, probably 9k loaded. DOT guy didn't even blink, just told him to park it and call someone. I used to figure the trailer will hold it if it rolls, who cares about the sticker. Changed my mind after seeing that. The fine alone was over a grand and they made him leave the machine sit there overnight. Now I check my trailer tag before every load and keep some room under the rating. Not worth losing a day or a machine over.

The express skipping stops when it runs late is such a backwards setup, like punishing everyone for the train's own delay. I get why it happens, they want to get back on schedule, but stranding people 40 blocks from home at 7pm is way worse than being 6 minutes late. That board at Grand Central only shows the next few trains anyway, it never tells you the express might bail on your stop mid-ride. Honestly this is less about you reading the board wrong and more about the system springing this on you with zero warning.
