    New supercoop in Florida on I-95 NB at the 92 mile stick. I came by it on Monday, it was "closed" but was fully staffed with trooper squads and even had a couple big trucks pulled around back. I'm not sure of it's official grand opening date, but personaly would consider it open for business if you are headed through there.

    I'm thinking the turnpike will see more action ... LOL

    I saw that a couple of weeks ago. It is only for north bound traffic only. So no worries for south bound.

    There are a couple scales around the Miami area, but none are in a really good location.

    There is the dive truckstop there in Hialeah at US 27 and the 826 expressway.(I havent actually stopped in there in years, but it used to have a scale....Mike???Still a scale at that ol' dive?)

    There is also a fuel stop with a Cat scale at the corner of Tamiami Trail(US 41) and FL997. That one is way out there, but if you have ever loaded tropical plants in the Homestead/Goulds area, you will know where it is.

    Other than those two, I can't help ya much else. Mike/WinMag will come back on here and probably answer that one as he is the resident south Florida expert.

    Yeah but the country ends 92 miles later. If you're going south, you're coming back North!
