    Eb Benton ark is rabid today
    I gotta get through there
    Wonder if I dare get off at JJ's and take 67 around it
    Could be a trap
    Coming in to Tex from ark on 30 is bad too
    No surprise there
    I hate that scale

    They're really picking on flatbeds this year as the emphasis is on load securement.
    Make sure there's no cuts in the straps

    That won't get you around but will get you beside it. They run through the ditch I been told. It's a ways around but exit 98 to Sheridan, then head to 530.
     
    Rusty Trawler Thanks this.

    Lincoln scales on 80 in Nebraska were both open doing inspections but no more than normal.

    The drivers that were getting inspected at EB Benton at 02:00 this morning, were the drivers that ran the scale. The DOT was waiting on them.

    Just pulling into the scale greatly reduces your odds of inspection at that location.

    EB Hope was closed. That little used inspection station at about the 111 was open for business.
