Ever blow by a Weigh Station when it was open?

I just saw this one the other day myself. Wasn't sure if it was open. Drove around it in a circle and left. Stupid scale that one.

 

Garmin. Probably another stupid question but is this limited for use on only trucker GPS' as mine is not.

 

I cant believe this is actually a thread...

 

Lookit what the cat drug in!!!!


The 'Turn around and go back' are the ones that are cracking me up!

 

OMG! Old truckoff actually lives! Good to see you, and where ya been hidin'?

 

Sounds like mega mentality, I know for a fact there are plenty of professional drivers who have "missed" the scale by "accident" done it a time or fifty myself, no tickets yet...

Or the ones who pull in knowing their in volition, God ######, they gotta catch me, no turning myself in lol

Hey BD, I've been here and there, how you doing?

 

I'm supposed to have Pre-Pass and for some reason it doesn't work anymore.

I'm a good little doggie and I always pull in (at least in states that actively enforce) but I always wonder about the guys that blow by the scale as I'm slowing down. Did THEY get a green light? Or are they just risking it in a pack?

My company gives a $100 for a clean bill of health from the DOT so that's a bonus if everything's good.

But those "gotcha" rest area inspections in upstate NY? If I roll though and nobody waves to me I'm not stopping to ask.

(There was one time in OH when I stopped in a rest area to pee, and I saw the LEO walking up the line doing inspections. I tossed my trash and got back out on the road. I'm sure there was a dehydrated petunia up the road that needed me more)

 

Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for the DOT to bang on your door (especially on 17) around 8 AM and tell you to get your ### out the way, he was going start inspecting trucks soon. It was a nice to get a wake up after running until 3 or 4 in the morning!
