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.

They will get you, and they will find lots of things wrong.

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.
