    4000 lbs over, you can't slide the tandems and instead of going back to the shipper to adjust, you just roll on down the road? Really?

    Do you have a CB ? That's the best way to know if a scale is open, not trucker path, specially at the Joplin scales as when I'm at the Petro for the day, I'll report them as closed.
    4,000 over on a tandem.... you should have planned a route around the scales, we all do it.

    And if they drove over a pedestrian bridge, would you just follow your GPS, too???

    When you pulled over on the side and the scale closed was the ramp full of trucks out to the highway?
