Brownsville TN looked normal today, maybe a little more active than normal at West Memphis. WB Alma was closed but they were having a party on the East bound side.

I went through MN, IA and into MO today.
All the weight stations were closed.
Are they still that worried about Covid?Trucker61016, racemaxx24, JoeyJunk and 2 others Thank this. -
I was on US287S through Colorado yesterday and that one scale that is usually open was pretty busy with a few rough looking trucks in front of me going in but I got the bypass.
Those trucks were behind me a few miles before the scale but I slowed down to 60-65 and they gladly all passed me just before the curve.
Also there was a cop car sitting on the side of the road a couple miles before the scale. He must have been waiting for some trucks to try to sit it out.bentstrider83, Trucker61016, slow.rider and 3 others Thank this. -
EB scale after Windsor on the 401 was balls to the wall
WB 96 by Fowlerville MI was closed. EB was clapping some serious cheeks trucks lined up for a quarter mile or more.
New Buffalo WB was closed EB business as usual
Indiana I 94 both sides locked up tighter than frog #####. Ghost town.
Tinley Park IL the sign said open but everyone was blowing the scale and they weren't doing anything about it. Didn't notice the EB one.
That's all I got so far.slow.rider, God prefers Diesels, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this. -

I’m on a short route but TN, NC, and SC haven’t been any bit busier than usual, scales or roadside. NC went on a tear the entire month of March it seemed so maybe they don’t care. TN will be on it hard next week if I was a betting man
Trucker61016 Thanks this. -
On a side note, a DOT officer and a dump truck driver appeared to be fixing to throw fists at the Hendersonville NC scale on 26 yesterday evening. It was gone this morning so they either duked it out or the driver is in jail and his truck impounded lol
bentstrider83 and Trucker61016 Thank this. -

Another day, and they are all closed along I-70 in MO.
