Oklahoma Weigh Station Question

I prefere the scenic route

 

That’s one thing I like about running out in the Midwest and over east. They’re all plenty easy to get around. Get out west and sometimes it’s not worth 100 miles or more to get around them.

 

I live right there close, and i go around them, and the Van Buren scales.

Sent my son out to do a tire change during a blitz at the WB Van Buren scale. They inspected his service truck while there, and put him OOS for no washer fluid.

I sold the one tons and got into Nissan NV3500's for our service trucks. I pulled into that OK scale to work on a truck shortly after buying the first one.

Officer came out and harassed me, wondering why my 1 ton van had b tags but no DOT #'s.

The Nissan NV3500 has a GVW of 9901lbs. He left disappointed

 

I agree 100% with you

 

"But officer, some guy on the internet said I didn't have to stop."

 

Boise city has a sign saying if it’s open or closed. Don’t matter color. It’s obvious.

 

Don't think I've ever seen a black and white scale sign... if it says open then go in . If it says closed then hammer down

 

Ever been to Louisiana?

 

Like someone else mentioned OCC will chase you for bypassing a scale.

 

That's gotta be the most chicken-$*!# thing I've ever heard a DOT officer do.

And that's the cherry on top.
