    I'm running Vegas to Bakersfield in the morning. I'm at 80,060 pounds. Haven't ran out here in a while, is there a NV/CA coop yet? I'd look in my atlas, but it's the 2011 edition. No help if there's a new coop. I heard there was one going up at the NV/CA line on 15.

    if I remember, the only coop I'll cross is the one on CA58 near Tehachapi. Right?

    You'll lose 60lbs in fuel weight before you hit the scales... Besides that, the scales give a slight margin of error on their equipment, so a few lbs over they're not gonna ticket you over

    True, was just wondering where the scales are. I only recall one, tehachapi. Am I drawing a blank? There's nothing between here and Barstow except produce inspection outside Baker I believe.

    i plan on losing at least 200 pounds between here and tehachapi.

    No way I was going back to untarp for them to take 60 lbs off me!

    If only I weighed what I did before I started driving... :biggrin_2554:

    Maybe, after 3 years, you should invest the big bucks and buy a new atlas?
