Been through Georgia and Tennessee several times in the last few weeks and I have Pre-Pass and always seem to get red-lighted, so last night I decided to take my 30 minute break in one, and went to go to the bathroom and it was locked. Looked up, and it was dark. No one was there.
Lights were on, nobody was home. Turds...
Georgia, Tennessee and Pre-Pass...Why even have it!

Georgia started red-lighting everyone after that string of crashes they had last year and earlier this year. #### annoying they should just pull the equipment out if they aren't going to use it. I was really surprised I actually got the green at the one eastbound on 20 before Augusta last week. first time in over a year I'd gotten a green at an open scale in Georgia.
don't know about Tennessee never had a problem there almost always get the green -

Ga scale on 75 north just above Fl line, puts me on the scale says he wants to do a level 1. I said fine, but I have copies of 2 level ones no violations done in the last 2 weeks. He said you haven't been inspected until GA does it. 3 passed level ones in 18 days...

Its rare, but I still get green lights. Moreso in Tennesee. The one outside ringgold always gets me though, without fail.
I'd heard some rumor that they pull rigs off the roads during "high traffic" periods in order to spread them out and help with the flow of traffic. ...might as well start pulling 4-wheelers now if that's true. -
GA, VA, and NC are notorious for pulling everyone in. TN used to always redlight me too but not anymore thankfully. Only thing that saves you in VA and NC is if the station is full. I don't think its ever too full in GA though. I was greenlit once in GA surprisingly on 20 near the AL border. GA does have Wim so thats saves it a bit. Oh and Michigan is bad too. I don't go there much but if I'm not mistaken they don't even have prepass at all.
