    And it looks like we will get more idiots in the seats because of the “driver shortage”.

    I like the guys to pull into the scale when it says it’s closed because they can’t read English.
    Keeps them off the road and out of my way.

    I do my civic duty and sometimes pull on their scales... (when they're closed ) I check my load to make sure there none down in the wagon.. then take a leak on the scale.. usually a few cows do too and a few more take a S### that way when they open back up they know a cow hauler crossed they scales and if I ever get weighed on the portables & they asked if I crossed any scales I can say yes

    I actually use a 10.5 inch tablet which has a dash mount. I don't hold anything in my hand while I'm driving except the steering wheel and most importantly my coffee cup
