    Keep rolling I do it all the time, only been chased down once in the last 30 years. My point being odds are they won't come out after your ###.

    Yes, if ya F up keep goin and make em earn it.. however, paying attention is supposed to be the biggest part of this job, might want to address that... and the fact that an elog needs to tell you when to take a break is a whole separate problem!

    SB I35 Oklahoma Port of entry outta Kansas right after they built it 12-13 years ago... good story with it though... fella had been around awhile, I name dropped my grandpa who worked for OCC for 25+ years working the scale houses... got off with just an over axel ticket as he smiled and winked and said there's a computer glitch on the rest!... grandpa would've got a kick outta that!
