When a commercial truck driver is ticketed for over weight who is responsible for fine?
Situation dependent. A driver who had a chance to scale out but did not would be responsible. However, there are some exceptions. Dump truck drivers who drive for a company which loads them at a job site then sends them to a destination where they have no opportunity to scale out in-between - the company will eat that one.
