Odd things at weigh stations

I know they monitor the speed at some of the scales. The scale master will come outside and yell at you cause you messed his computer up.

 

Colorado has a 2 mph limit crossing the scale, and god forbid you do 3 mph, they will rapidly flash the 2 mph sign at you.

 

Oddest thing I've ever seen at a scale, a cute female weigh master, typically they are grandmotherly, matronly, or prison warden drop outs. I think it was the Sheridan, Wyo. scale had a couple of cute blondes working there......but, then again, it's been more than a year since I went through there, and I might have been battling a lack of sleep, so, it's possible I was daydreaming.

 

Saw this exact thing last night at the Oregon Umatilla scale as we walked in to use the facilities. I told my trainee that whenever the scale master is red faced from yelling at you, your day is about to get a lot longer......

 

Was going eastbound on I40 New Mexico scale, They have a Stop sign right in front of the little building the officer sits in. So I rolled to a stop with my bumper exactly in line with the Stop sign. This guy aggressively gestures with his arm several times raising his arm up and pointing straight down about the middle of glass. I just sat there for a few seconds trying to figure out what he wants. I figured he must want my window equal to his window. I inch forward then he waves me on.

OK so maybe put the Stop sign a little further ahead? Or do like Florida and put a white line on the ground where you want the trucks' bumpers.

 

You weren't, she gave me a level 3 once. She was nice about it.

 

Hilarious!! Id never have figured that out...I would have stopped way back from the sign , lol...Id make sure he could read my lips as i was saying WTF!!!
"make your intentions known sir, geezus ka riest!!

Too bad none of us ever have the time to just stop and go in for the heck of it and ask a bunch of questions, make a bunch of recommendations etc etc...put the funny stuff on you tube

 

eastbound on 80 the other day
Evanston Wy i get light to go onto scale
the same 50ish blonde comes out to level 3 me
that did it a month ago
i said i am going to have to tell the wife you keep pulling me in just to flirt with me
she says you tell her to call me maybe between the 2 of us we can figure out why we would want some old truck driver
hands me my last inspection back and says get out of here driver

 

phew, that's a relief

 

We tried it for a day, then gave up on it.
