Winchester VA Scalehouse

With a permit load?

 

Yep! You'll see everything going that way. If you get stopped just say you are going to the 711 truck stop for fuel

 

Oh ok, around here that would be off permit.

 

Going around is easy, not sure about the permitted load though..
That could get expensive real quick..

Once in a while DOT will sit down there at the bottom by the 66 split..

 

I laughed a couple of times when I saw oversized boats going that way. There is no water around there. DOT doesn't do roadside inspections on the weekend in Virginia

 

I used US 15 all of my life because Dumfries had henpecked me, a rooster at 21 years old with everything in order. When Dumfries get a hold of my #### they go over everything. Pulling out handcuffs and so on incase they have to arrest me for something or another.

They had my number and constantly pushed my buttons to where I simply said ok Dumfries is dead to me. US 15 here I come. I did not do anything "Wrong" but that kind of structured behavior when there is not yet anything to actually enforce...

Now WInchester aint half bad. Much. Sterling City is the one with my name on it especially after I dropped their scale. I actually held a virginia permit for no less than 100K meaning to anyone in weigh scales in VA it's going to be a 5 figure number for both Maryland and VA provided that is a load going onto a ship.

The day I broke the scales they laughed. That permit I bleated about and waved it in the paperwork only caused them to laugh at me harder saying little boy what you don't know kills us so much to write what we are about to write against your company.

I started working on ways to work around the virginias entire weight system at that point. Not exactly going out of my way to do it. The biggest thing was to GTFO out of seacans before something REALLY happened bad.

 

Sure they do I got one on 17 a few years back....
Of course it was a BS inspection he said I had a light out on my trailer is why he pulled me over.
When we walked back there the light was back on, imagine that like magic it worked again...., F Virginia DOT

 

No way you broke their scale, BS.

 

Stop believing truckers stories, most are not worth the time it consumed by listening

 

I get dumber with every post I read.

I had my own VA trouble this year but no weight involved. And since it takes upwards of 5 business days to get a VA superload permit - I am pretty sure they are not going to route around a scale.

So being off route to avoid a scale is something that is very likely to get your permit voided.
