They don't need a pit. They call 'em, "Creeper Cops" for a reason. They'll get that creeper out in a heartbeat and camp under your truck until they find your checkbook. I avoid scales like the plague!
So you're pulling cans? You're leased on?

Only time I’ve got a monetary fine was in Monroe Louisiana, for a flat spot on a trailer tire. The fine was only $10.

yea, with STG -
What was the leak on the air tank? Fitting? Hose end? Or tank itself? Being audible without being sprayed with something wet to make it heard usually means pretty bad. Surprised with an audible leak on a chamber they didn’t do an oos. If it were leaking on spring release side that would mean compressor may never shut off as long as park brakes are released.

It was a very small pin hole, you couldn’t hear without being a few inches from under the tank. She took a video of it making bubbles on her phone for me. Chamber was a real small leak on service side also, I got no excuses I should have caught this stuff. I made myself a short rod to wedge on the brake pedal now so I can get my ear against all the brake parts. I dunno how everyone else does it but shutting the engine off and standing on the steps isn’t good enough to hear the leaks I had
SmallPackage Thanks this. -
It’s a decent little route, but it is in their backyard and they’re aware of it. Kansas scales up there have never bothered me. Although they’ve stopped me a handful of times there to dip my tanks, but never anything more than that. But Oklahoma? I haven’t touched an Oklahoma scale in loooong time.Bigtruckdrivah Thanks this. -
-
Absolutely. I’ve got it patched right now a new tank will be here in a few days. I went ahead and replaced all 4 diaphragms in my 30 series cans also

Garmin needs to have the option to avoid scales, just like the option to avoid tolls. Same programming/code even...just different coordinates to work around.
Last Call and Bigtruckdrivah Thank this.
