    First off....I'm in Alabama bout to go into Mississippi. I haven't came across a scale yet to weigh out. picked up a load of peanuts out of Georgia. The route my company gave me to follow doesn't have any scales en route. My question is this.... is the scale house going into Georgia usually open on Fridays? I'll be a king US Hwy 80 west.

    Montgomery has a TA with a cat scale. Your area is confusing, MS or GA out of AL.

    Picked up in Georgia, in Alabama now, about to cross over into Mississippi. Kinda irrelevant about the Georgia scale isn't it?

    Depending on which highway you're on. If they routed you across US 78 , there is a scale.

    Like the others have said. Go out of route to find a scale.

    Do you have the Cat scale app on your phone ?
