As I said before.... I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOCAL DRIVER.... that means NO LOGS (always within 150 miles), NO SCALES (non in the city...DUH)!!!!! I seriously don't understand what you can't understand about that??? But thanks for NOTHIN!!! I went through my first scale today, without ANY knowledge about what to do!!! This is a rare case too.... because everytime I've needed help or just some simple opinions, I could turn here to C.A.D. and get more help then I could imagine..... my questions/comments would be answered.... and I'd seem to learn somethin EVERYTIME I logged in! Thanks for fukin that all to hell!!! So go ahead and bash me.... call me fake, a cracker jack CDL holder, WHATEVER!!! But go get me a tractor and a 53 footer.... and I'll alley dock it down your ass crack and right in your fukin holes..... :twisted:

The only knowledge you need when entering a scalehouse is to have the ability to read,write. In other words,be literate. There are big signs in the scale that have instructions. Just follow them. It isn't rocket science.

Some of the older scales in NM don't have an Open or Closed sign.They flip the sign backward when closed and upright when Open.

True, but you have a good distance of warning before the station itself.
Whether the sign is manual or automatic.

It's pretty much a given that all the major NM Weigh stations (on major highways entering the state) will be open 24/7.

I was referring to scales that are on U.S. highways,such as the obscure ones on hwy. 54 and hwy 70 going east outside of Alamogordo to name a few.

Now you post about not even knowing if you need to enter a scale or not, much less what to do when you do enter one. You need to have a FRANK talk with your boss and tell him/her that you need some OTR training. Yes they are two different worlds. I have done both and know what you are going thru.

As far as the replies to this thread; use your head here and learn from them. There is some very good information there if your smart enough to figure it out. ( And I'm sure you are.) :wink:

Now as a moderator: That will be the LAST time you will post a reply like that!

The ball is now in your court. Do with it what you will.

NOW, I really hope this helps..

I don't buy this guy's :dung: . Even as a bulk driver for Coke he would have to pull into weigh stations. Anyone who has had a CDL for ANY period of time knows you have to pull into the weigh station and have to have a log book. Common sense here. This guy's a troll.

I've driven sideload, bulk, and OFS for Coke for 5 1/2 years.... and ALL within 150 miles!!! So no, there was no need for a log. But I do appreciate the help so thanks!

Oh an alley dock............
thats really tough :roll:

FYI, you are supposed to log if you run over 100 air miles from your home terminal, or run over 12 hours
