    The scale at Milton On is just a request for drivers to pull in, not mandatory JMHO:D

    I actually saw a scale house that has a sign about 1/4 mile before the entrance ramp that says "If ramp full bypass scale"... It was on I-70 West, I think it was the one just west of I-77 in Ohio.

    Once after and early morning delivery in Schulenburg, Tx. I was deadheaded back to SA makin time, stereo turned up and the westbound house just outside of Seguin was open. I didnt see the flashing lights on the sign and Id never seen that one open before. I didnt even realize it till I was passing and noticed trucks in there. I said screw it and kept rollin @ 75. Watched my mirrors and in front of me for about a mile with plan to pull over if I saw one of wore outs best friends. Never did so I guess I was gtg.

    I did it on purpose, at the New Brunswick port of entry scale at Edmondston. Trucks were lined up out beyond the end of the ramp on the shoulder. I didn’t even lift. Needless to say i did get stopped a few miles down the road. All i would say to the 2 guys that pulled me over was that it wasn’t safe, went around that bush with them at the roadside for half an hour. Then they escorted me back to the scale and it started all over again. Cost me an hour but in the end i left with no ticket.

    I blew the POE on 94 going into Wyoming. West bound. Was open too.

    It's when I was training too lol.

    Got off at the TA went back around and went through.

    Listening to trainee cry like I stabbed him cause we didn't stop at the TA.

    Lady bear inside hits me with this big smile, says "Thank you so much for stopping. "

    I just got the feeling they knew.

    But nothing was said.

    Then my little B trainee got his shower.

    That must have been one heck of a ride. Last time I checked I-94 didn't go thru Wyo.

    Well to be fair there’s no TA on 90 in Wyoming, and on 80 you would’ve passed it before the POE lol
