    You don't avoid anything that way. You keep rolling . If they are open they are open.

    I'll share a little something out of my bag of tricks.

    Act like you are god awful #### power under your hood underdrive your RPMs buck and smoke... Next thing you know 2 miles before scale ramp everyone has piled in ahead of you. Place is overflowing in trucks.

    Bye!

    I'm definitely Canadian, I thought you were going to Ontario, Canada, lol.

    I'm thinking "there's definitely got to be more than one scale between Arizona and Ontario".

    I don't think there's any plans to reopen that scale, is there?

    And isn't the bug check just past the CA border. He won't hit the southbound 15 bug.

    OP. Don't panic. Just keep on trucking. Be an outlaw. :biggrin_25519:

    The bug check doesn't give a rip anyway. I would just roll either way, set at 40 or 42. Heck pretend like your an old timer and run, if they say anything, tell em an old timer said it was fine. lol

    The bug check doesn’t, but every now and then there will be a CHP vehicle pulling trucks off to the side.
