After having had dealt with West Coast(CA/OR/WA) scales for a few years, I've found the CO scales to be rather easy to deal with. Either a green light, or "Thanks, return to highway". Of course I go up to the Denver metro with milk tanks as a normal thing as well.

Why spend all that time driving around scales? I did that earlier in my career. Now I just drive past them!

As for that CA-style supercoop, perhaps it could be for that very reason. Of course it would be of more use in the mountains to ensure brakes are being checked. Just like all the shooting incidents made CO change up their gun laws in the past decade(namely that 15 round mag cap and individual cities/towns making their own restrictions/relaxing of certain weapons, but that's another thread), a bad driver and deaths finally led to some action being taken as far as trucks go.
Of course until it's open and pulling trucks in, we won't know "how hard they go" until drivers start reporting in here and over on the truckers subreddit over how harsh or how lax they are.
Until then. My only beef with CO will be how badly they let rent/mortgage get out of control. Nice area that's more or less off limits to people like myself that just want to be boring and stay home when not working. -
