How Does a Florida Weigh Station Work

Good info,

much appreciated.

 

In all my dealings with scales throughout the country, in my opinion, the Florida scales are the easiest, the most courteous, the most professional and the friendliest that I have ever dealt with. Plus the fact that the fines for being overweight is about the lowest in the nation. Got a overweight ticket in Va. $750, same load in Florida cost $250. When I was running Florida, two or three times per week, I got so many overweight tickets that the people at the first scale going south on 1-95 got to know me by my first name.

 

It's amazing that drivers cannot follow simple signs when pulling into the weight station... "Maintain speed limit" means just that but yet countless drivers can't comprehend it... Speed limit says 35 but yet they want to do 15.., smh

 

usually it always one driver in the line that screws up the entire thing

 

Was actually a good video. Still not spending the night at the scale. Just asking for trouble.

 

not usually, seems as if it's always at least one driver screwing it up

 

So you just added a usually

 

A couple years ago I was sitting at the lunch counter at a truck stop and a driver was complaining about getting a ticket for going through the scale to SLOW.
I don't like to see guys get tickets but this one put a smile on my face.

 

Yes, here's my truck! Let me go slower so you have more time to add up the violations!
