Sign or no sign, and since you never know the moods of the jerks in the scale house, I turn mine off.

i do use my jake quite a bit....but why in the hell would you have it on in a scale house, you must not dim your headlights either, and have 100lbs of crap on the dash.....some common sense goes along ways.

who the hell are you talking too?????? must be everyone .... I shut off my headlights, have nothing on dash, and the jake in the truck i drove only comes on at 12mph or more so rollin through a scalehouse at speeds lower than that its not on anyway, besides if you barely put your foot on the clutch the jake don't work either... leaving the switch on doesn't affect my driving, its all a personal thing.... just how I learned to drive, maybe your different......most every driver I ever met said they leave their jake on and never shut it off, like I said it may be just a bad habit, you don't have to do it. You can't really say its wrong, if you do then its wrong for you and you are not everyone, or are you?

So NO is the answer. I kinda figured, seems like common sense. just wanted to see what others did.

[Kintama]

Always run mine, never had anyone say anything about it.

I'm a supertrucker and I use my jake in the scalehouse and I tell the lot lizard that I have in the co-pilot seat to make sure to smile pretty at the DOT as we pass by.
