| Have clean equipment.
At night, turn off your headlights when approaching the scale. Keep the posted speed limit. Don't go alot slower either. Keep the posted distance between trucks. Newer equipment does help, but if you have an older truck be sure to keep it in good condition. If you look like a rolling safety violation, you will be pulled around back. If you run in Colorado, put your VIN number on the truck along with your other numbers. You will be asked to bring your paperwork inside if it's not. When you know you're within 3-4 miles of a scale, listen on the CB. You'll hear everyone hollering if they're backed out onto the road and if you slow down just a bit, they may close by the time you get there. Answer only what you're ask, don't volunteer anything extra.
