Not stopping at weigh stations when it’s backed up to the freeway

Canadians are held to a higher standard.

 

I remember that scale way back when. Scale master sent my dad to get inspected, but the inspector waived us off saying "Merry Christmas!" Then 2 miles up the road, a bolt fell off the throttle linkage, and we were on the side of the road fixing it. That would have been 1984 or something like that.

 

I love the Banning scales. They just pick on out of State trucks.

When they pull me in there’s always good BBQ and refreshing spring water or all
Natural soda. I love the avocados they get there as well. The ice cream and chocolate fountain is a real joy as well.

 

Man that place wrecks me almost every time. I dream of them having lube.

 

Yeah, I’ve seen a good number of scales with signs saying to bypass when full and even indicating where the “full line” is. A few days ago I saw a scale with a sign instructing drivers to move over to the shoulder of the freeway if the scales are full. What they need to do is build a longer ramp. This cannot be safe. Plus, the shoulder of the road won’t last long with truckers regularly driving over it.

 

Yup Indiana and Michigan have those signs saying use shoulder if scale line is backed up. Just an accident waiting to happen

 

Indiana and Tennessee both had massive lawsuits in the 90s with people slamming in the park trucks on the highway..
the states respectively both had to pay millions of dollars to victims.. that's when the signs came up there
Tennessee went one step further to say bypass if scales are full
