    Not sure. I could see the house when I was flying by it but the entrance came up quick. Was like 3 or 4 trucks inside. But I’m assuming if there were any chase cars there I would’ve been chased and this thread wouldn’t have been posted.

    Yes If they are sitting around the curve on 95s or 495w they know you didnt go it. Yes thats the one you cant see it until you exit then drive about 1/2 around a curve..... Although it is a nice place to park on the ramps and in the scale itself. No one ever bothers you there...

    You used to be able to get away with that easily if you were coming from the inner loop to go north. There was no open or closed sign after New Hampshire Ave, so if you got on there you legitimately wouldn’t know one way or the other.

    A sign has since been posted there now.

    Many years ago, I had a little issue with a scale house on I-75 in Michigan. Back then, they had a neon element on the sign that said either "closed" or "open", depending on what the status was. One time, I guess the wires got crossed, and the sign read "closen" clear as day. I assumed this was just another way of saying "closed".....

    That explains the chapped lips.

    Goodnight folks. I'll be at the Talledega Chuckle Hut all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

    You’re way over thinking this!!!
    They’re going to need your address before they can mail you a ticket. If the truck is registered to (you), then maybe they could mail you a ticket.

    I guess this is a new design for a chicken coop; one which only has 2 doors? Soon to come are "chicken sedans" and "chicken hardtops". I believe "chicken convertibles" already exist as portable weigh stations, like New York uses....
