    That scale house is where they train new DOT officers too.......So they kinda get crazy at times doing inspections.
    There is one old guy that usually works the south bound side who is a real pain.He will write a ticket for anything.
    They stopped me 3 times in one week during the last blitz.....They love to pick on bobtails too..

    That works too but it is a long way across that 161 to get back to 85.Plus all the lights in Rock Hill.

    I did not accuse, I simply stated some of the issues that could arise, Please read the post again. It is not common for someone who is fallowing the rules to want to spend time and money to go around a scale house.

    It's only natural for a driver who wants to save his hard earned money to want to go around certain scales, as we're their only source of income, and certain DOT officers and scales will get you for something, regardless of age or condition of equipment.
     
    Lilbit, EZ Money, rjones56 and 2 others Thank this.
