    I made it through the Gauntlet also, but then on Friday while crossing the Mackinac Bridge, they had the right lanes closed heading south and the far left lane open. the In-road scale is on the Far right lane. I followed the trucks on to the left lane and the St. Patrol pulled me over and wrote me a level 3 warning! I don't think that one was fair.

    You decide to go with 2 weeks now? :biggrin_25523:

    If you were on I-24 between Nashville and The Choo-Choo, what you saw had nothing to do with DOT or the 72 hr blitz. There was a big music festival there called Bonaroo. The cops used the scale as a base of operations.
