    NC has been open. Virginia has been closed the past few weeks, And they almost never close.
    Georgia has been closed also.

    Banning is alive and kicking. Most F up scale in The United States.

    Takes 20 minutes to get through it on a good day.

    Go ahead roll through there even 60 pounds over, see what happens.

    The scales I encounter every day have all been closed since all this started.

    The west bound scale at Cambridge, OH was open. First scale I’ve crossed in at least three weeks.

    That doesn’t surprise me a bit. I always avoid them at all cost.

    I fell for that one once back in 1996 in Pa eastbound on 80. Sunday afternoon. Got a DOT Inspection. No coffee to be found.

    Since I came back out after hometime last week I haven't seen a scale open anywhere.

    At this point I might accidentally blaze past an open one because I don't even remember to check anymore haha.

    What I'm seeing are a lot of weigh stations with "open" signs and nobody working in them. For years the 1st weigh station going north just above Cincy on I-71 was always closed. Since the end of the world it is open but empty. Saw the same thing in Arkansas.

    They take a short break before they roll out the blizz. This year it's in May instead of June.
