Accidently going past scales

If they wanted you, you would have already been had.

 

dont worry about it. i used to do it all the time jk! haha

 

If he didn't chase you down don't worry about it. If it should happen again pull over onto the shoulder, bring all your paperwork with you and go inside and explain to the scale man you made a mistake. This happen to me many years ago at the scales in Freemont Ca. I had just delivered to Sysco Foods and was merging onto the freeway that uses the same on ramp as the scales use to enter the scale house. I was putting some paperwork away and when I realized I had merged onto the freeway it was too late to get back onto the entrance ramp to the scale. I parked on the shoulder, gathered all my paperwork (log book included) and walked into the scale house. The scale man told me with a very straight face, that mistakes happen, and thanks for stopping. He asked me if I was loaded, then said to be careful coming off the shoulder. And this was in California.

It's funny you should write about this, I was going north on 95 in Georgia Tuesday when I heard all this commotion on the radio about a truck that missed the southbound scales and was backing up on the shoulder. When I went by there was about 6 cop cars around this Western Express truck and it looked like everyone of them had their ticket book out.

 

Mineral wells scale will come get you..if they want you.. most of the time they are just checking ground pressure.. but since my company is from parkersburg..they like to mess with us..lol..

 

if they wanted ya they would have come and got you right away trust me i know first hand as i blow past alot of scales (on "accident" hehe lol)

I know behind the scalehouse in valdosta georgia, there's an old graveyard.
