Blew a scale tonight

Likely nothing will happen. I ran past a scale maybe 3 times in the 1990s. 1 was on purpose. Nothing ever came of it. There is a small chance of your company getting a ticket in the mail. It's not a big deal. Unless something else happens & it becomes a big deal. Usually the worst-case scenario is a trooper stops you on the side of the road near the scale you bypassed. Since that didn't happen I would stop worrying. I worry about things by nature. I would stop worrying about this and never do it again.

 

Hide your kids and hide your wife: We got some real outlaws in here

 

Are you talking about the big scale or the old scale NB ? Old scale just has flashing light so I’m assuming big scale.( yes they still do occasionally open it, they’ll be chaser cars if open) Hate to break it to you, but tickets already printed, e-mailed & mailed. If your company doesn’t pay it promptly any cmv in your fleet will be pulled in & questioned when they pass through any scale in OK. OK is the one state you don’t ## with running scales, New Mexico runner up.

 

Years ago there were some scales on 80 in Illinois I never stopped for and would even wave at as I drove by , I wouldn't dream of doing that now lol..

 

Yeah but think how good the scale felt afterwards

 

First time on my way out to Denver, was passing a BigR and realized that I blew by that scale on 70 to the west side of StLouis. Hit the shoulder as a chase car was coming. Told him my mistake and he took my license and told me to get turned around and come back in. No fine, just logbook check and a wagon weigh.

 

There was a sign on the old Devil’s Highway when you got to i40 that said required CMVs to go west on 40 and cross the scale. Never saw a cop there, so I always ignored it and go east.

And that scale on 95 south of Baltimore where you come off the bypass and have to jump 2 lanes over to get in. Always blew past that one.
