Weigh Stations

Hi RnR81, you can still see your shoes?

 

Needed to bend over for that too didn't you?

 

lol, he made me stop, then turned the green light on and yelled " I can't make it any ####### greener now go!"

 

LOL, Thanks I needed that.....

 

You guys are so entertaining to follow! LOL!

 

And we do it for free!

I think there's a vaudeville act up next...

 

We're pretty lucky in the Badger (weigh station wise) Years ago, there were a bunch of scales, maybe 20 or more, although, they were all pretty easy to get around. ( not like in a prairie state with no back roads). They've since closed and tore up most of them, and now maybe half a dozen or so. Granted, I don't truck anymore, but when I do drive my pickup around, most the time they are closed. They built a new, state of the art scale on I-90 westbound near Janesville, DOT inspection shack, and everything. ( at a cost of umpty million dollars), and I've never seen it open.

 

Hi tex, you know, years ago, I trucked with some great guys. The word "character" doesn't even scratch the surface. The miles flew by yakking and joking on the CB. And sometimes, I felt bad for some of the waitresses that served us, but they had a great sense of humor, and took our jokes with candor. Bunch of goof offs, it was great. And it was all ad lib, no rehearsing, just a bunch of good 'ol boys, ( sorry ladies, very few back then) mostly ex-farmers, doing what they loved. It's kind of sad, that's pretty much gone now. I'm glad I was a part of that. I'm sure rocknroll81( and many others here) knows all about this.

 

You bet I do, your bringing back some fun and good memories, back in the day truckin' was fun...

 

Had to add this, they put in Weight in Motion pads plus camera's on I-43 Northbound just past the first exit when coming off of I-90-I39 as I recall, it goes to the new Scale on Westbound I-90
