    The guy in that Xp3 truck, that Old Red Pete, at around 32:24 in the video is a funny dude. If that's who I think it is, he was in Clearwater, MN last week.

    That's the first scale north of Wildwood, this video must of been shot after an I-75 Chrome Shop Show.

    I picked up a load in Orlando. Had to tarp it. It was a little over 16 ft tall. Hit that Wildwood scale. A lady comes out with her height stick and measures the load at 15'6. She tells me that they had just put those sensors in and the sensors was telling her that I was 16 ft tall. I was amazed. I told her that the sensors were dead on, because there's a portion of the load in the middle that you can't see that makes it 16 ft, and her sensors were dead on accurate.

    usually it is the young 20 or 30 something year old kid fresh out of the Academy that is trying to make a name for himself. The older guys who are closer to retirement really don't care as long as you're not an eminent danger to the public
