What happens if you missed an open scale while bobtailing?

In Kentucky at that super coop they have your photograph as you pass the exit ramp for the scale, both for those who enter and all traffic that passes. If they caught it, and if they are in the mood they could send the registered owner a ticket for "failure to obey a traffic control device", which are the various arrows and signs when you enter the scale property.
I would do nothing, and see if they contact you. It is unlikely. If they do, follow whatever instructions are in the communication, do not ignore it.

 

If they use the license plate recognition program, it will go to the registrant, which is your carrier, at their address. On that cab card is your name as the owner, but their address.

 

nothing will happen. i have not stopped at KY open scales many times last year )))) . Nobody chased me, never got a letter in mail..
OP don't worry about it..

 

If no one came out and chased you down, nothing is gonna happen. But dont make a habit of it.
In any event the worst that could happen is who ever name is on the base plate, would get a fine in the mail.

 

Hammer down and don't look back!! ... Lol, ok, maybe look in your mirrors every once in a while to look for blue lights

 

If they were going to do anything about it it would have been then and there

 

If you blow a scale bobtailing because as you saw "open," you had JUST realized you forgot to put your mudflaps back on, and said "f it, what are the odds....." they will chase you down and give you a ticket for your mudflaps, blowing the scale, and also give you a false logbook warning for the log you filled out early in your motel room while you were up, showered, and waiting to get back to work.

That's what a friend told me anyways

 

Sorry but some how you didn't THINK a bobtail had to go in..??
