| 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 |

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

| 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. |

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!!! |

C'mon now-don't get the guy in more trouble than he would already be in if he ran the scale. |
