    What is up with the Banning scale???

    14 minutes yesterday.

    I've only gotten green lighted there a handful of times over the years?

    But really, 14 minutes to get through a scale, and it was moving pretty good yesterday.

    It's 3mph for several hundred yards after the scale as well. With speed bumps that make you just about bash your head on the ceiling.

    Every bump has giant light poles with STOP lights and loud speakers just waiting for you to go 4 mph, so you can be brought in for a level 1 in one of the inspection bays the size of The Hindenburg hanger.

    This after you've waited 10 to 15 minutes to roll over said scale.

    Going back north I'd never go that way unless I had a pick that required it.

    Move over to the left a lane or two and drive right on by like at least half the trucks do. I used to be out there weekly with a 52ft spread that wasn’t legal and never once did a car come after me.
