    Wyoming we'll send somebody after you or put a bolo out to the state troopers if you miss that Port of Entry

    I've been caught in traffic in Ringold , GA , north of Atlanta. It was tragic rush I think. I was stuck in the center lane, a wall of trucks hauling ###!

    I've thought about driving my car through a closed scale because I'd like to know it's weight. Thinking this should be no problem most likely..right? And would a car weigh enough to register on the scale?

    You weigh enough to register on the scale! +/- 20#, of course.

    Yes. Several times but only because four wheelers wanted to ride in my blind spots and keep me from getting over. Never had anyone run me down and make me go back and never got a ticket for it.

    The only time I pass scales when its open is when I am in California, with other million trucks entering scales and driving at 2 mph. Yeah, screw it. Its rush hour, cars are doing 75, trucks doing 53 and slowing down to 5. Almost rear ending each other. Dummest thing I've ever seen in my life

    did you get a ticket in the mail? I missed a scale yesterday in California but I didn’t get pulled over. Do you think I could get a ticket in the mail?
