Question on Weigh Stations !

Wisconsin's signs say all trucks over 4 tons. I skate by because it says nothing about vans. I only stop if placarded or once I got an official escort.

Iowa was all commercial vehicles over 8,000#. Now most of the signs read over 10,000#. Again I never stopped unless placarded.

Michigan, I never stop. Kentucky, I never stop. I realize I am taking a chance in some of these states. If I ever get pulled over I will be my usual polite and ignorant self. It comes naturally.

I did stop at the Florida Agriculture and Aquaculture inspection station on I-75. After a 10 minute wait in line, I pulled up to the throne only to have a hand in the window impatiently wave me on.

Turtle, do they ever hassle you over the aquaculture laws? Do you turn over your one-handed magazines like "Totally Terrapin" or "Galapagos Gals"?

Well, because I cross into Canada so much, I don't really carry any of those with me anymore. I mean, "Galapagos Gals" isn't a problem, nor is "Stinkpot Musk Mamas", as those babes tend to be on the, uhm, mature side, but it's those hot little "Teenage Mutant Nubile Snappers" and the wide-eyed "Softshell Slider Sluts" that'll get me in trouble with the border guards.
