    If they start stopping you, then behind every scale should be every dually with 4-5 car trailers behind them.

    It's worse then that, since all of the megas have decided to get into van haul I have seen lasso straps though the wheel, over the wheel, pulling the same direction, only straps on one axle, and my favorite on a landstar flatbed, basket straps with the basket over the ends of the step bumper, gotta love it!
