    happens all the time. at the northern utah scales on the 15. OPEN WHEN FLASHING. yet every truck gets off but me.

    usually they're open. once in a blue moon it's closed. seems to be having a problem with the scale lately.

    i picked up at a shipper on the other side of a 13'5". It was 13"5.5 and there was no other way to shipper. I dumped my truck air and got about half way. I then pulled the trailer brakes, waited for the bags to deflate. i then hit the red button and gunned it. I only did this after 3 other trucks did the same to get in. If you get the ### through before the bags fully inflate, your good to go.

    Did the driver NOT HEAR,FEEL ANYTHING? Heck some of the 13'6 worry me!! If I have any doubt,I'll creep. Also I've seen some bedbuggers get hung up on railroad tracks,bc of the low belly boxes.
