    If anyone is ever going west on 20 and wants to avoid that new Colorado City (TX) scale right after Sweetwater go north 84 up to FM1606, left, then back down to 20 on 350. It’ll spit you right out of Big Springs. Maybe a 20 minute detour. Also skips being turned around at that Snyder scale/pullout if you were to avoid the fm road. All good, just a little curvy.

    Tried it today, just wanted to share.

    Nice to see another driver helping out. I've got routes around most scales in the northwest. If anybody needs them.

    Is it open now? I passed through there several times last week and it wasn’t. It did look ready for business though. I noticed it was active in Drivewyze now because it have me a bypass.

    I would. But then again the company has Weight Tolerance Permits for our trucks, so we get in trouble if we stay on the interstate instead of going around.

    Are you based out of there? Spent some time in Seattle and Portland while homeless up there. Couldn’t stand Portland.
