    i bypassed the scales all the time, especially when the ramp to the scale was all the way out onto the shoulder.

    the scales southbound in Dumfries, VA, comes to mind...

    i''d zip on by.....

    same with the northbound scales in Greenwich, CT. I-95 , backed up onto the highway..??

    zipped on by.

    in all my 48 years, i never got stopped, or ticketed, or chased.

    Don’t be concerned what other truckers are doing? Ok, one runs over and flattens your family because his truck is over weight junk and he is high or inebriated and we will try not to notice. Just move along everyone….someone else’s wife and children, so mind your own business.

    Funny world that we live in. Crazier by the day.

    If you see me merge left and hide behind another truck….just know my permit was delayed or incorrect.

    I run the 401 often in Ontario I love it when the guys driving like idiots in truck restricted lanes cutting everyone off to stay on limiter are sitting on scale ramp which is now full and shuts off the lights allowing you to bypass lol

    If there back up into the Interstate, I take the passing lane and keep going. I’m not going to create a Hazard and get rear ended. Yes.!I’ve bypass them several times.
