tx scales

I generally get prepassed threw mississippi and LA. Unless im heavy and going threw LA. They might pull me in but in general ive never had issues with any state. Its as if kindness courtesy and respect really go a long way.

 

Yeah they like to do roadside inspections like Arizona. I got pinched in Ft. Worth on 20.

 

At 530 this morning they were giving the westbound all we could handle. It's the first time I've crossed that scale in a year or two. I was surprised to see them that early.

Iuka scales in north MS used to never be open before 430 usually 5. I came strolling thru around 3 the other day to find them opened.

 

when the sun comes out an the weather gets nice they'll all be open for a little while.

 

Scales in a Texas aren't open a lot but when they are they like to make up for a all the downtime.

 

Last time was 4 am not far from Houston.I said to the officer jokingly don't you have anything better to do.He says no that's all I do all night long is pull trucks over and inspect their equipment and logs.

 

Havent been to Texas for years, and never farther South of Dallas than about 35 miles, I enjoyed a few weekend layovers, there was a bar down there I think was called the Glass House. Had Stevie ray Vaughn memorabilia everywhere, was where Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble used to play a lot, was a great place and real friendly people!
