A little bit of sheridan ice days.
LoneCowboy and LoneRanger Thank this. -

That scale in Gillette is easy to bypass, and often ignored even by trucks on Hwy 59, although, few years back I had a local chase after me when I failed to turn for the scale, I showed him that I was delivering 1/2 mile up the road (he stopped me as I turned in to the lot) and instead just chewed me out. But yes, Sheridan can be a real PITA scale, they have been known to call ahead to Billings, they have also been known to have a WHP officer chase you down. -
Sundance is the one closest to the SoDak border. Then there’s Gillette, and then finally Sheridan going into Montana. They all suck ###. I’ve been through that route countless times, and on the same day every single scale flashed me in just to see my IFTA. Happened more than once. No ####, I went over the Sundance scale three times in one day, and every time I had to go into the house. I’ve run past the Gillette one a few times without repercussions. Wyoming, other than the house in Frannie, sucks.

Now, On I-90 through Wyoming I am very familiar as I used to travel it quite frequently. Going west you have to stop in Sundance unless cleared by prepass. Going East on the Interstate you do not have to stop in Sundance unless coming off a side road such as 585. Going through Gillette on the Interstate you do not have to stop in either direction unless coming off a side road such as 59. I have even gotten off the exit where the scale is and driven past it multiple times with no problems. I have clarified this with the Gillette scale. Going both directions through Sheridan you have to stop unless cleared by Prepass. Sheridan is the most normal type scale house on 90 in Wyoming but even there they will call you in to see your IFTA and registration. Hope this helps. -
yep. Always use Wyoming POE as a pee stop, cuz you're getting called in 98.45% of the time (this is an exact number that i just pulled out of my...........head).
IFTA, registration and some smart ### reply about what you are carrying. (dispatcher brains for an empty trailer my personal favorite)Truckermania Thanks this. -
And don't bother asking the peeps at Sheridan POE what those wierd looking gazelle/ibyx things are foraging in the fields. They don't know.Truckermania Thanks this. -

You only have to stop at Wyoming scales that have the black lettered white signs requiring it. And with prepass you follow what it tells you.
If you've already been cleared at a POE you don't need to stop at the ones that only have a green sign.
If you have not been cleared at a POE then you have to stop and be cleared.
Wyoming is weird that way.Truckermania Thanks this.
