running a scale in ca.

[tozz22]

dose anyone konw how much it cost if you get caught running a scale in ca.?

[Fozzy]

Why would you need to know?

[classicxl]

if they catch you in wont be pretty

[tozz22]

because i run it sometimes when its full and backed out onto the freeway

[classicxl]

when i use to run cali heavy if the scale house was backed up they would turn on the sign scale closed or we just kept going anyway because it was a safety hazard never had a problem. Now if there was room on the ramp and you went by that would be a problem

My oldman run a scale like 8 years ago and it was like 185. in PA give or take.

I will bypass their scale if it is full, but don't even consider it if there is still room on the ramp.

[Kintama]

They will get you, and they will find lots of things wrong.

I'll just say that if you're caught bypassing a scale in CA. it will turn into one of the biggest trucking mistakes you'll ever make and everything you think you might gain by bypassing it you'll lose 10 fold.

$$$

[Mackman]

it is 19.99 for the 1st time and 14.99 each time after that they give deals out for that stuff.

You will get a reduced or no fine if you hand the CHP a $100.00 bill with your CDL and med card. That has been my experience. I hope this reply to your question was helpful!!!

Here is a simple answer to your question..... PAY ATTENTON AND DON'T BLOW PAST THE SCALE !

I know you're looking for a dollar amount, however, if the ramp is full, they will shut it down as others have said, and it is not considered blowing by a scale. Best thing to do is get a transponder and not have to worry about it for the most part.

IDK because I still haven't been caught yet.
