Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed...

I missed it by THAT much. GMTA!

Maybe none of this $h!t would have happened if Lowell George, Jerry Garcia, and John Wayne were still alive. :)

I went that way once (the backway I was just taking about, but coming up CA 14 from the LA Basin) to bypass the Northbound I-5 scales near Castaic, worried about my logbook, rather than weight.

I don't think I'll be doing that again.

If I drive again, I'll refuse to allow myself to be put in that sort of situation.

Had to go the long way 'round a the Mormon chickenshak on Westbound I-70 once too, just to make a noon delivery in Salt Lake.

That one was do to the freight broker's manipulations.

I wasn't late for that delivery (although out-of-hours, and in violation of bypassing entry scales) and that broker STILL docked us some real $$$.

If I ever get face to face with those thieves, I just might break somebody's jaw.
