weigh station thread?

I always thought that Ohio meant, even if you got the green light on prepass... you still need to roll through with hazmat.

 

That's exactly what Ohio means... if you have a placarded hazmat load, you roll through the scales prepass or not.

You can play games with the scales and DOT bears if you like. Its a fairly expensive ticket if you blow by them on the theory that your interpretation of some sign can keep you out of a court room. It won't. The bears ticket you - you have to go back and spend the time, effort and money to fight it. Personally I have better things to do, and don't care to risk having a ticket for being an arrogant trucker on my MVR. That sort of thing will start having a big effect on your employability when CSA 2010 kicks in.

 

you lucked out as it is standard operating procedure to walk your paperwork in in wyo but they only want to see your registration and ifta don't ever walk in with your comic book

 

pull into the one in casper and they will be upset you interrupted there nap time as no body ever stops

 

Yup... co and wy are mostly looking for tax compliance - had a nice chat with a lady bear in Alpine WY a couple of weeks ago. I suspect I'll be stopping in Limon this afternoon; first time I've been through since the beginning of the year.

 

Its one of the loads I can get outbound from the various places we deliver to in the Salt Lake/Ogden area... produce out of Idaho Falls. Usually just run across the scales since its not prepass - that was the first load through WY for me this year.
