Traveling I-10 Between Houston & San Antonio?? Be Prepared

Is there a way to get around it? Exit before and get back on after? Anybody familiar with the area might share some insight. Is this a PrePass/Drivewyze facility? Getting old with having to deal with Ports, roadsides, sudden rest area set ups, randoms, just leave me be.

 

US 90 runs parallel to I-10 between Seguin and Luling.

 

I'm not sure what's so new. Pretty sure most of these things already exist. Maybe not in Texas??

• A weigh-in-motion sensor
• An over-height detector
• A pit for DPS Troopers and Inspectors to more easily inspect brakes, linings and other items from underneath the truck
• A 90-foot platform scale — the only one like it in the state — that allows inspection officials to weigh an entire truck at once
• Hazardous materials placard and carrier identification sensors connected to a computer database that identify credentialing, violation history and if the vehicle is under a federal out-of-service order
• A thermal imaging array examines a truck’s wheels and brakes for abnormalities, such as defective brakes.

 

It's just an ATM machine for the state.

 

Tons of ways around it. All kinds of state hwys and farm roads. It’s 20 miles down the road from me and I never see that place. The old one was never open and the new one probably won’t be open much either. Texas never has had the man power to sit in a scale. They just let the dieselbears patrol around instead. That place was built because it is around the 130 toll road interchage that bypasses Austin it is more for that reason than trucks going in and out of Houston.

Like @PacoTaco said. US 90 (the original IH 10) from Seguin to Luling will bypass it. It runs with the Union Pacific line along that stretch that goes coast to coast.

 

Yup, its pretty to many people, its warm for the most part, all the major cities have every restaurant ever created, what's not to like? Lol

 

Your opinions are welcome as long as you don't move here.

Too many smug refugees who failed in their liberal utopias here already.
