    Trucker Path and CB. I have had both fail me a time or two. But on average Trucker Path pretty dependable in the midwest anyway.

    I've had to do that a few times.
    You get a Red light on the PrePass because someone didn't turn it off when they left...
    Sure you don't need to stop as it's closed. But, PrePass doesn't know it's closed, all it knows is if you stoped or not when it gave you a red light...

    Sometimes you can just keep going, sometimes you get red lights for the next three months because you didn't go in the closed scale it told you to go in.

    We get screwed either way.

    It don’t matter if it is a device mounted to the dash or held in your hand, it is all the same and illegal.

    Not truly accurate. You are allowed one touch devices. Trucker path is one touch to say open or closed.
     
    T.Rucker and Trucker61016 Thank this.

    Don't worry, it won't be long until all of the trucks are self driving.

    I used to love the cb, now I almost despise it. All I hear are idiots arguing or some ahole in his basement talking crap. However, I can't understand him because he sounds like he just got done smoking 10000 packs of cigarettes and had his echo is on max plus enough noise toys to make Disney jealous. I have a nice cb and rarely even turn it on these days.....sucks.
