and all hazmat loads must go through the scales even if they get a green light on the prepass!
Why do you slow down approaching a scale?

Well if you dont want unnecessary hassle, slow down. Got pulled in to the truckee scales a while back. CHP said I was speeding,gave me a level 3 and sent me on my way.

My dad always told me to slow down 5 MPH because they can read your speed and even if your doing the speed limit they can still pull you in just to slow you down. Not sure how true that is, but I do it regardless. I got called into a CLOSED weigh station while empty on 78 going into TN and since I'm green I stopped anyways. Felt like an idoit but I didn't want them chasing me down.
