    Take the earbuds out of your ears

    Stay @ or below the scale speed limit

    Don't be a mook, act normal. And if they question you - 1/2 of the battle is the attitude from you

    But not significantly below. A guy going through the bypass lane that is 30 mph at 15 mph will attract unwanted attention.

    Ive always rejoiced in the precision necessary to run those computer scales. If they want 40 that is going on the dot prior to the ramp into the place. Ima coming in at 40, set your arrows one way or other out of the way.

    I also know that the pre-weigh in those scales are fast enough to feel that you are somewhere above 76000 and usually pull you in to check closely.
