    Are you coming from Atlanta way,.. down I75 SB?

    Exit 460 to EB rt6. There is a Burger King, Budget Inn, Huddle House. Take 6 to 41 south to Jasper.

    Stay on 41 through Jasper,.. run it beyond i10 and just south of Lake City bare off to 47. That will take you back to 75. This gets you past the Agricultural and weight station.

    As for the Ocala scale,.. I just run it. I havent stopped at the SB scale there in 3 yrs. I do pull into the agricultural stop,.. but not the SB scale. I was on the phone with my wife one night and totally spaced out and ran the scale. No one came after me. So I thought I would try it again the next time I came through and play dumb if they come after me,.. again.. no one came after me. 3 years now and its like they just dont know if your pre-pass or not.

    Been curious about the others,.. but rather not push my luck too much.
