1) Exactly what happens when you have to pull into a scale?
2) I know some trucks have a scale pass. Green you can pass, and red you have to pull in. If the scale pass turns green, is the time recorded in the box somehow also? If so, could it be used against you on your logs?
3) Are there times when you go into a scale, but get waved around the scales and don't have to stop? This is on the asumption that there is at least one lane or larger area where trucks could go around the scales. Like a drive through. You can go in the drive thru lane, or go around that lane and park or exit the area.
4) If you get waved around, do you have to log that you were even at the scale?

Make sure you only proceed at half the posted speed limit across the "weigh in motion", or, "pat" scales. That way, you'll get to know your fellow truckers who are following you, and, may get to spend some quality time sitting on the the big platform scale where your weight/size can be more easily scrutinized.
