Dunsmuir Grade Scale (California)
About half way through my trip, all trucks where getting pulled into the weigh station. So, it was my turn to get on the scales, I was running heavy 75000+, and the light had turned red when my drives got on the platform.
Well, me in my infinate wisdom pulled around the back and was getting ready to hop out of the truck when the DOT officer asked me what a red light meant. I, being a complete idiot, said "Come around, park, and bring paper work in."
He looked at me like the idiot I was and said, no, we wanted you to stop. I, ever so cleverly stated that I was an idiot, and he instructed me to go back through the scale and head to inspection.
So, I did so, got my L1 and was on my way.
Man I was an idiot when I did that... I was also new at the time too...
