    That's a bad sign your company is getting flagged because of a high CSA score.

    Just stopped to weigh it again near banning as per the instructions I got.... now it's 12300 on the steer, 33960 on the drives, and 33940 on the trailer... so far not bad, right? Nope. Still showing the exact same gross weight as the first time I weighed this thing. And after burning 50 gallons of fuel? Either something is screwy with all 3 scales (there's a comforting thought), or with this load, or I'm just having a waking nightmare.

    It's probably too late at this point, but why didn't you just run up 95 through the desert to Needles and take 40 in to Barstow and then down 15? No scales on that route. It's longer but if they want it delivered that bad, they should be willing to pay the out of route miles

    Driver deserves everything he gets knowing he is running any kind of overweight, or anything illegal to the destination.

    At this point, it's ALL on him!

    Believe it or not, I got by banning, and.... green on prepass... turns out that APU exemption is good for for CA after all..... strange after being told it would be.

    What time of day did you pass Banning? If the line of trucks on the off ramp starts extending to the freeway they green light everyone until there's room to safely pull off, then it's red lights until they have another queue of "customers".

    California is still not granting the exception.
