    Anybody know what it is for OR and Wa? I know CA allows up to 100 lbs over gross. I am 79860 just below half tank.

    I run the area, as far as I know, 80k max. You might get by but why risk it. When I have been in situations like that, I figure out where the next weigh station is and based on my burn rate, make sure I will be under 80k rolling thru. It's a pain having to fuel more often but it's better than getting an overweight ticket.

    Yeah I figured that. My only micro managed fuel stop is la grande and I figured I go thru there sunday when cabbage is closed. Headed to kent so maybe the 17 just to bypass the scale there on 82. It is a pain just to keep stopping for a splash

    Welcome to the world of trucking. That's why they pay you the big bucks. Most of us could use a little more exercise anyway. :D

    your world of trucking is way different than mine. How much excerise do you get fueling? In Ca 79860 plus wiggle room of 100 lbs will get me 30 gal of fuel. What does exercise have to do with my question? It doesnt have anything to do with the price of cheese in china.

    Is your sarcasm/joke meter turned off? Notice the grin emoji at the end of his sentence?

    Oh I didnt even notice that. But the tacos at jack in the box are great. Not too much sauce.
