Weigh Station question

like you said better safe tha sorry. i haul oversize, i was running across la. one day with a buddy of mine came up on the lafayette scales on I-10 the sign said truck ok to bypass i didnt my buddy did guess who got a big ticket-and i do mean a REALLY BIG TICKET!!

 

yea i have been running back and fourth between alfor fl and houston for the last few weeks. after awhile the scalehouse boys just look at me and wave me through. got to know couple of them by first name basis. just say see ya next trip!

 

If your prepass has a green light and the scale gives you a red light or says to come into the scale, then you are supposed to go into the scale. They usually just want you to drive through. That is one reason why I don't have prepass. If they want me to come in anyway, then I can save my money and just go into the scale. When in doubt, enter the scale.

 

When the first sign you see says follow in cab signals that's what I do. Haven't had a problem doing that yet.

 

i see your in grandbay, if your headed east the oaisis truckstop is alot better.

 

Prepass trucks follow in cab signal.

This was discussed elsewhere if you get a red Prepass and the scale is closed. (I would go in.)

If you get a green on a weigh-in-motion scale your gross or heavy axle weight may prompt the sign to enter. However, Prepass own info guide says to disregard changeable message signs in AZ, LA, NE and WI.

Check their website for info or clarification.
