@Hillbilly Canuck

Thanks for the heads up. I completely forgot about this, this year

They can’t catch what they don’t chase....

Green light at my only open scale. Debating whether to keep working after delivery in the morning.

Rates are better than 2018 around my house.

I added a poll

Got two green lights in Illinois... the rest of the suckers went around back. Cuba MO was locked up.

I spent last year staying in town under the radar and most of it the year before that in Wyoming who does not participate apparently. I was off today. Tomorrow I have one scale to dodge times three. @Ontario Outlaw you know the one.

lets see Northwoods IA should be closed as well as Atlantic IA at least when im going through to Omaha should be there about 330 am.... If im outta there by 415, prolly should get past van meter IA before they open... that leaves Albert lea.... i aint going into Albert lea now if I don't get out of Omaha Ill run up to sac city and take 20 towards mason city but then Ill have to hit Albert lea to make time especially since 29 is flooded out again

None of those scales are ones you have to worry about. Waverly that’s a fucked up scale. And Hebron on US 81. No scape in Iowa is worth worrying about. Unless your doing something wrong, your over weight, or you have a light out. They don’t mess with you.

Everyone so worried about the scale house this week. Worry more about the mobile enforcement because that’s where the increase is.

I think I have about eight and a half scales to watch today. The GTA is like whack a mole when it comes to skipping scales.

 

[Electric Chicken]

Extra zip ties and duct tape. I'm ready. Bring it on, Fuzz.

Some people say discretion is the key

I say I got two state lines and a border line to get across, most ricky tick

Bring your A game, state troopers

We avoiding it one way or another

Yet a hefty proportion of the trucks inspected are put out of service every year... for real defects.

iowa was infested rest stops closed scales just on the side of the road saw close to 50 on the way back never so happy to jump the boarder in my life regulator was right mobiles were the issue

 

[SueAnn]

I've been in Canada all day....Alberta and Saskatchewan. Did anyone find the roads are much safer since the ones who should be inspected are hiding until it's over??
I found too, after 6pm local time, some of those who were hiding crept out.
The scale house in Saskatchewan had about 15-20 trucks pulled in for inspection when I was there.
The mobile units have electric boards in their back windows that read "follow me for inspection." There are lots of them out.
Good luck to everyone on the road this week.

 

[Hillbilly Canuck]

Christ you know it's serious when Saskatchewan starts partying. I've hardly ever seen a scale open in that province but the ones north of Saskatoon.

And plenty are put out for bogus BS. I know because I have been a victim of their games.

 

[Ontario Outlaw]

We made it through unscathed.

I definitely wouldn’t have run a hot truck this week if I knew it was going on.

I actually couldn’t say what the scales were doing, somehow I managed to get routed on roads without scales.

Just lucky, I guess
