    I see alot of trucks bypassing the scale on I-10 west in Banning, California. Have you heard of anyone getting ran down by California State Patrol for bypassing? Getting in trouble down the road? Any suggestions/comments as far as bypassing this weigh station?

    The trucks bypassing The Weigh Station probably has prepass. Now one's going west are very rarely closed. east bound is hit and miss usually open in the morning closed after 17:00

    They have pre pass. I get the green probably 50 percent of the time there.

    No need to stop there. I've been inside that scale house and those guys are all busy doing something no one is watching who's driving by or who's coming in.

    Been running by there for eight years every week never been chased down.

    Same with the one in Pomona westbound on the 60. One guy inside that little box playing on his phone.

    And to anyone that believes that...

    I have a small island to sell you, very cheap... and it has unlimited power and fresh water.

    A major inconvenience that they are aware of, please, by all means bypass that scale when you don't feel like waiting in line. They'll be the first to thank you.

    That line takes too long to get through and I don't have the patience. That's what my face looks like by the time I get the Banning!

    Ive bypassed it many times, green or red light, because youre sometimes going to be ON the highway BEFORE the ramp. Not going to get rammed in the ( ) for a stupid CA scale.

    I see trucks pulling in there even one the sign says scale is closed.

    Apparently some people can't read English, imagine that!
