What do you do if you go past weigh station?

Blew a scale today in Illinois with a red light on my pre pass…what am I looking at ?

 

Did they chase you down, write you a ticket? If not, no harm no foul

 

I blew one in GA accidentally. Was unloaded just wasn’t paying attention.
Anyway he ran me down and once he realized that I legitimately missed it just wrote me a warning and done a level 3 inspection…the basic one..rekon that’s level 3
Now I have also intentionally ran them and have gotten lucky those times!
Just luck of the draw

 

No they didn’t chase. I just didn’t know if I get a ticket in the mail or sent to my company..I don’t think there was a camera just the sensors

 

In Oregon if you blow the scale they will send you a nice ticket. They have photo enforcement.

 

This was the northbound scale Goreville Illinois on 57.

 

Doesn’t matter what scale it is. If Oregon has photo enforcement I would assume most other state utilize a similar system


To be honest driving past a scale is deliberate they have so many signs letting you know you’re coming up on one. I’ve never missed a scale on accident. Put your phone down and pay attention

 

You will be fine. If they have not chased you yet then you are in the clear for this time. Illinois does not send missed scale ticket's in the mail.

 

wasn’t on my phone. I do pay attention. I deliberately blew the scale because I couldn’t get the trailer to weigh legal. Picked it up from another driver in my company we turned at the the i24 truck plaza in Manchester and it was 3am. I had no one to contact st the company. I wasn’t going to sit there until business hours for them to send me somewhere and wait even longer for the load to be reworked.
