    today 1 13 23 the scale had an 18 wheeler basically boarded up and locked downed, I've never seen anything like it. Probably had 10 trooper cars surrounding it and blocked from moving.
    I went by going east but didn't see much activity about an hour later went back by going west and the cops were searching the cab. So I'm guessing drug bust, anyone know what happened. Nothing on chicago news today about it.

    Best advice I can give is, if your running heavy or "dirty" which sounds like today's situation, jump off on 30 any bypass that coop. See many overweight trucks at that scale getting reworked by a forklift & tow truck, they definitely are making money at that scale, both east& west...

    I'm not looking for away around the scale I already know that, and I wasn't the one busted some other dummy was. But I'm guessing they busted him before the scale, this was pretty sure a drug bust
