It's good to see some activity in this area. The whole industry is largely unregulated and the more owners that get proactive with looking at their weights the better.

There's been a couple of exercises similar to this in Qld but with the promise of no fines. Just an education event.

The problem is, in the big scheme of things there isn't really that much money to be made so the police would struggle to justify the resources to really ramp up weighing vans.

They generally only pull in the obvious looking ones as well, which does skew the stats a bit.
