    I got an email asking me this question last night. I'm speaking of the Kentucky Scales both north and south bound on I-75. A reply on another thread reminded me of this. I remember those signs said Rest Haven.

    Yes, they are a rest haven. But.. for future reference... on the SOUTH side you can awaken the next morning and leave without having to pass by the scale. On the NORTH side that direct exit is not provided. You have to ease by the coop windows , so make certain that you comb your hair and brush your teeth ! It's just the way they're designed.

    Yup the scale guys will leave you alone for 8 hours, but I suspect they can look on the video and see what time you got there if they want to.

    There was a period of about six weeks that I was doing some dedicated runs between Ohio and Mississippi several years ago. I spent maybe 10 or 12 ten hour breaks in those rest havens. Generally I noticed the DOT officers stayed out of there. But I did notice once an officer in his car driving around the parked trucks looking around and one time got out and looked at a few tires. After my break was over I always made it a point to do a good pre trip before I left.

    Here we go again. They do not mean the same thing and are not the same thing.

    A safe haven is an area specifically approved in writing by local, State, or Federal governmental authorities for the parking of unattended vehicles containing Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 materials.
