    Anybody remember when a driver blew THROUGH a weigh station when it was open.
    To be fair, he did call ahead and warn them, but at least one scale man didn't belive him. lol

    Over the years I have blown past a lot of them when they were open, but the only one I know about blowing through one didn't live to tell about it.

    Great topic.
    I came up on a scale this week. A permanent sign said that drivers should follow in-cab signals. However, the neon sign said that all trucks must exit to scale. What do you do? I kept on going because I got my green blink.

    Not all scales post numbers on the outside, and they can be turned off.

    One time about a year after driving professionally, I almost drove through a scale in a car because I just forgot what I was driving. I wonder if anyone's done that?
