loaded at shipper. scale five miles away!!!!!

This honestly depends on the scale you hit, the state you're in, and the officer running the scale. Some officers will ask to see the paperwork then might have you adjust your tandoms and reweigh, some might ticket you..just be courteous and hope for the best.

 

Try calling the scalehouse and explain the situation. They may let you scale out. You may get an inspection, but its worth the trouble.

 

Or ask the shipper if there is a scale close by. Me, if there isn't, I'd not take a chance especially starting next year when CSA2010 goes into effect! I'd go around!

 

There's quarry in BFE Idaho.....Nearest Truck-stop is in Twin Falls 123 miles away.....

Life is full of choices

 

Yup. go around the scales.......

 

Thats the WORST thing you could do(wheredopeoplecomeupwiththisstuff?)
THE THING TO DO is get a MAP and head to "Grandma's" then hit a CAT for a legal ticket then proceed to your consignee

 

As they scale out your wallet.... Too much on the hip driver... pull out some more green stamps they pull back around...

 

And bypassing the scale is a good idea? I have seen DOT watch for this maneuver and hit the driver with not only a portable scale, but also a full inspect including log book.
