    Years ago I was going into Wy from Id on 30. It was winter time, there was a blizzard going on. There were two trucks and we were hauling some expedited freight from Portland Dallas. The other truck had never ran the NW before so I was taking the lead.

    We get to the Kemmerer POE it was open and there must have been 15 trucks in the lot. So I park, sit there looking at cold wind blowing the snow around and think to myself "I don't have time to waste getting out in the cold and standing in line"

    I just put the truck in gear and pulled out. Looked in my mirror, the other hand is following me. About a mile down the road he gets on the radio and say's "we were supposed to go in weren't we."

    Us old hands got great memories.

    That's kind of been my idea, when in doubt, stop, it beats the hell out of a black and white chasing me down and leading me back to the scale

    If you pass a dot scale with a load go drop that load and return with another load to the same scale later that day what could happen

    Potentially... nothing. LTL, and local drivers sometimes go across the same scale several times daily. Each time with various cargo, or empty.
