Schneider and Swift must be hiring illiterate drivers.

Not sure if this is the right spot to post, but had to share this one...

Bopping up I 5 in Oregon this morning and go through the scale preclearance and get a red light on my transponder.
Approach scale house and sign says closed so power back up and keep rolling.

I watched a Schneider truck pull into the scales followed by a Swift driver who drove right up to the scales when they realized there was no one there.

Now Oregon has a bad habit of leaving their transponder to go red even when the scales are closed, so I am always half ready to pull in or blow by when I see the sign.

I was laughing so hard, I almost peed myself.

I guess they would believe the transponder over their eyes.

 

And what makes you think I wasn't watching the road? A good driver is constantly scanning their mirrors as well...

 

I think you'll be waiting a long time for hand. Sign says closed, I keep moving. If they do stop me I will be happy to show them the dash cam picture saying closed.
