    I got pulled into the Mississippi scale on 20 Friday eve. Had to show the cab card and my CDL.

    Then on Saturday, there had to be 15 cops working the construction zone on 20 in Alabama near the Georgia border. Cars and trucks pulled over everywhere....But all the Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina scales I passed were closed...
