I know I can just use the road atlas but I was wondering if anyone knew of any apps or websites that assist in dodging weigh stations.

I'm rarely over weight on my axels and it's even less common for me to be over gross but I'm currently over on both (The one time a shipper loads me and they mess everything up.) It's been a pain in the ass to have to keep pulling over to check the map and find a route around the scales every time I get near one.

I only have 1 more scale to get around this trip and I already found my route. This is more for future reference.

Maybe you should tell who ever loaded the fucking trailer that they have got to take some of that shit off

I'm pulling a bulk tanker. I was there for almost 9 hours and I would have had to blow the extra off. Even then, it wouldn't have fixed my drive axels. So I said fuck it. Throw the seals on so I can roll.

You are the one responsible for following the laws on load weights, I would have told them to fuck off and get it right and make them pay you for the time of your they wasted

I am paid the entire time I'm there. It's 25/hr but I could make a lot more with an extra run instead of wasting my time there. What I'm getting at is I made the choice to just run it. I usually don't have a problem there but I also usually load my own trailer.

Yes, they messed up and they would have fixed it if I asked them to. I decided to run it. That's why I'm asking for future reference because this isn't a regular thing for me.
