Bobtailing Question

In my car hauler, I only stopped once at the agricultural inspection station in Florida. The guy looked at me like I was crazy then waved me on. I never stopped at one after that. I guess I do not need to, as it is obvious that I am not pulling agricultural products.

 

If your driving legal and all your paper work is up to date, whats the big deal if you have to stop for a few minutes ??, are we all in that much of a hurry that we can't do what we are supposed to as to make sure everything is correct, hell after you roll off the scale you can even do a quick check of the trucks tires and all that good stuff, they see that from the window that you cant see into and believe me they take note of that stuff, makes you look like the better and more professional driver that you are, I'm in no way the perfect driver believe me, but, I do make certain attempts when at the weight stations to make myself look better to them as well as for the company,,,, I dont want anymore attention drawn to me either if I'm legal loaded or not......whats a quick 5 minutes of your time for them to make sure we are doing what we are supposed to be doing legally........HELL we deliver this coountry.

 

Yack yack yack.. All I want a know is do I go through a scale house w my 2016 freightliner cascadia w sleeper. Not often bobtailing, but a need to know question???? Yes it is a commercial account. Points take years to get off.
Need to know yes/ No, and if possible, WHY???

 

All joking aside, should I take my fully loaded fuel tanker through a scale? It’s only a day cab do barely a real truck. Question. If I blow it would the scales practically look at me like a car since I don’t have a sleeper? SMH at some of these questions

 

In most states you will. Some are based on weight. Some based on th3 fact you are driving a cmv, even if on pc. Here is a per state breakdown.
