I certainly hope that you are a female driver and not the voice of experience otherwise.
-
Like others said, I slow down so other guys will race up there and cram the ramp. Then I don't have to deal with the hassles.

Ingorance is a terrible thing, thanks for sharing yours. The first time I drove to the left cost, I 40 went through down town williams. Now freshion your lip stick.

I have a single page log book, no need to carry three.
-
I slow down hoping that the next one that runs out to bother me will stumble and fall under someone's tires.
-
Some trucks have daytime running lights. Unless I see a sign to turn them off, my headlights will stay on when it's dark.
-
Ooh I thought you were talking about killing all the lights and going into stealth mode along the left side of the guy who just got the green light....
-
It was common in the day years ago to kill the headlights at night so the scalemaster would have to stare at the bright lights all the time.
Guess that's changed tooHammer166 Thanks this. -
Well may as well throw in my 2 cents. I kinda like the full out til you hit the ramp and give it full jake leaving it on as you gear down to a stop right at the little stop before going on scale sign, now for the weigh in motion the slower you are the more accurate the reading you may just get a free pass where as hittting it too fast you may just have to do it again in even slower motion at the scale house.
x#1 Thanks this.
