lol I think it saves time and milage if they come to me. Plus gets them boys out in fresh air. Should have seen the mess the trooper stepped in few years back when he told my old man to shovel it off because he was not gonna let him go back 2 miles to dump off. The trooper lived but it was hit and miss. -

I have been pulled into station, made park out back and given a level 1, all while bobtailing. Go figure!

I run Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Every day I'm hitting either the 2 westbound scales on I80 or the east bound on I280 and nb on I55. There is a sign at the entrance to the bypass lane for empty flatbeds to use bypass lane. I can't do that as I have covered wagon and look the same loaded or empty.
Grubby, PoleCrusher, cke and 2 others Thank this. -
Odd.cke Thanks this. -
Unlike California, which has a 5 mph with speed bump bypass lane, Illinois' bypass is 30 mph, with no speed bump. They can't tell what you weigh in the bypass.Grubby, snowman_w900, cke and 1 other person Thank this. -
PoleCrusher and snowman_w900 Thank this.
