    HA, Scalemaster, sounds like you've got a great sense of humor. Haven't seen that in years, since the old timers ran the scales. You probably should have played that X-ray thing a little farther, telling the driver, "You better get that left lung looked at"!

    I am an old timer, been here 25 years. I will not say I have seen everything, because as soon as I do, somebody will come in here and prove me wrong.

    I used to keep lists of the wacky things drivers would come up with. Like the various definitions of "local driving" - 150 miles, 200 miles, 500 miles, not crossing state lines, back the same day, not paid by the mile, etc. The list could go on forever, some of these guys are pretty inventive.

    If I would have yanked on the chain of the guy with the tinfoil hat about the x-ray bars over the highway, he probably would have had a coronary. He was that pumped up about it! I think he was off his meds...

    I missed that one, Ill have to look it up. Last time I was in Laredo that station above Laredo had a lot of trucks parked in there, don't know what was up with them but the place was full. Even had a couple of buses in there parked.
