Going around Florida Scales on I-75 before the turnpike

Sorry to hear that man. I think that's entrapment plain and simple.

Down the road from me there are two county roads. Both have signs on the state road telling you the weight limit for them, then before you turn on the road there are signs saying what the limit is. Also Florida is sometimes, not always, good about warning you of a bridge weight limit well before you go down a road. Only roads I have found they don't do that are like rural dirt roads.

I know it's all worked out now, and I haven't been in Florida in years, but would they even be open on a holiday? Everything I've passed from the west to the mid-west has been closed all weekend.

 

Florida is one of those states where 99% of the coops and ag inspection stations are open 24/7/365

Passed thru this morning. They were wide open

 

Don't forget in Florida, most every scale is a safe haven. They have parking plus restroom facilities for drivers. I've heard some even had showers but I've yet to see it and never believed it. It's nice they do that considering that lack of truckstops in Florida.

 

Lol it is brand new. Should be in the new maps.


Welcome to FL

 

Sorry to drag up this old thread but I need to get around the 2 southbound scales on i75 before the turnpike in Florida. Im 450 over gross and wont burn enough fuel to get it below. A lil help please.
