Here is George Mastros solution - I'm still working on mine:

Select        Truck.*,
               Case When Truck.Overweight > fine.MaxWeight
            Then (MaxWeight - MinWeight + 1) * Fineamount
                        Else (OverWeight - MinWeight + 1) * FineAmount
                        End As Fine
From        #ttt As Fine
               Inner Join #Truck As Truck
                       On Truck.Overweight >= Fine.MinWeight

Though now after seeing it I can only say - how come I didn't figure this out myself! :)

>>>>>I am using a Sybase database but I would think the sql syntax should be almost the same. I have a requirement that I need to calculate fine for overweight trucks. The way the customer wants to do this is to have 1000 pound groups and each group has a progressively higher rate. For example, if a truck is 3500 lbs overweight then the calculation should be:
