You are talking about those onwer ops with those 22inch diameter chrome straight exhaust pipes right..... most company trucks have a standard single muffled exhaustt and you can,t really hear the jake....

 

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?

did i say it was wrong?......i said common sense would tell you to not have the jake on.
damn FFE drivers :lol: ...i heard you moved on uglymutt.

 

Yeah I know you didn,t say it was wrong.... sorry, I do like the common sense part.........got to have common senses

I did move on to greener grass, I put in my time with FFE, then took my skills to a local company, very small company, and its nice, out 6 to 10 days at most and I keep closer to home, get paid more and i get too drive a real truck now, KW T600, so I am happy ........ happy happy happy

 

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

 

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

 

A always assume that the scale house guys are sleeping and would like to be awakened.......BR-R-R-R-R-R---R--R---R-------R-----R. :lol: :lol:

 

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.
