Yes there is right on the other side of the scales that that gave me the ticket. Literally about a mile and a half to late

so where exactly on hwy 97 you picked up that load?
-
About 50 miles outside of Yakima Washington on 97.. here's a strange thing I went across 2 dot scales before Klamath falls and got the green light on both of them.. maybe they were busy and just gave me the green light I'm not sure but after that I figured I was good. I guess just my own stupidity and lack of experience I will admit I learned a lot about what not to do this trip and it will never happen again.

There is Pilot in Biggs Junction OR

Move your fifth wheel and tandems to balance the load. Dump 225 gallons of diesel on the scale parking lot. Rescale. You're legal!
Tombstone69, x1Heavy and fss99701 Thank this. -
Note California requires trailer tandems on a 53 to be at the 40 ft mark to the middle of the back tandem axle also sliding the fifth wheel would not help me at all because I could have only got a couple of notches out of it and the 6000 was on the trailer tandems.
ended up waiting on another truck and we took two pallets of apples off and put on his truck which made both of us overweight then we had to Carrie a pallet of apples by hand up over the load to the front of the trailer to even out both loads. What an absolute nightmare. -

I feel your pain .

There's a couple of truck stop scales between Yakima and Klamath. Biggs, Bend, a couple more feed store type scales in the smaller towns, if you were really interested in scaling.
Your're full of it, driver. Pay the man.
