Hey Tom, most of the scales in the US have in-motion weighing, but you have to enter the scale and cross the pads at 30 mph. There are a few states that weigh at 65 mph without entering. I think Nebraska is one or Missouri. Can't remember. I have crossed them this past year. Drove 141,911 paid miles in my Frieghtliner last year. Accual miles was closer to 150K. Still have a need for a driver?

I knew they had the 30 mph roll throughs but unaware of the 65mph scales in the US. I like them saves time.

You single handed drove 150k ,well done with the new regs.Mav I'm full house at the moment. I still have your contact info,If anything happens I'll give a shout.Things have changed alot for us and at the moment I'm sending units back to Canada. Exchange is favouring the opposite direction now.Did 160 vehicles so far this year.NJ , PENN & Georgia seem to be where we are haulin' out of right now.Those markets have glutons of off lease certified units.
