I don't use 55 past the scales anymore, blitz week or not. The red light is constant. If you haul me in to weigh when I am a bobtail, then forget you!
But during the blitz 355 is also a hot zone. If you are short on time and don't want to be delayed, you could try to 59. But any nearest scale bypass route will most likely also be watched.

Kansas and Oklahoma on i35 s and n were working hard with many DOT trucks and cars doing inspections. On 35w they were pulling trucks off the interstate into the Texas Motor Speedway and doing mucho inspections...
Luckily I stopped short of there and I'm headed 35e at 430am... So maybe it will be a bit quieter....
Got red lighted all day... But just rolled over the scales....Last edited: Jun 2, 2015
randomname Thanks this. -
Scales in Sc on I20 were closed....
Scales in Ga on 20 were open but looked like a normal day...
Scale in AL on I-20 was working hard...there were 4 trucks in line waiting to be inspected(waiting to pull into the shed) -
Today, I was lit into scales in AR and TX, then bypassed. I must have come through during a shift change or coffee break.

Level 2 on 54 north out of el Paso.... NM inspection right after BP checkpoint. Every truck was getting it

Nada. Even Georgia seemed lax with the scales. I20 coming into atlanta had the usual stream of trucks because everyone goes in but not even one was being pulled for an inspection and nobody was OOS.

The closest I've come to going much of anywhere was up to Conroe and back on I-45.
Didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
