A GROSS overload has cost Crowthorne, Berkshire-based D&M Tramar £1,085 in lines and costs after it admitted the offence when it appeared before Hertford Magistrates.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for VOSA, told the court a four-axle d vehicle carrying waste dough was weighed and found to be overloaded. The maximum permitted gross weight of 32,000kg was exceeded by 3,940kg which worked out at an overload of 12.3%.
For the company, Chris Hallsworth said it was engaged in the movement of food products. On this occasion the driver had picked up a load when there were no weighing facilities and no proper paperwork was handed to him. The driver had assumed the weight was in order.
"The load must have had more weight added to it and the driver had no reason to believe that there was a problem," said Hallsworth.
The company was fined £1,000 with £85 costs.
The driver,Andrew Collinswood, of Manor Farm Cottages, Crowton, Bracksley, was given a conditional discharge for six months and ordered to pay costs of £45,
