whatever you do.do NOT try to bypass this scale on state route 40.this road has a 73280 lb.weight limit.they will drag you back to the scale and then write you up for being waaaay over gross.I know 2 different drivers who tried it.1 at night the other during the day.the tickets were well over $1000.
