BTW, didn't stop at any of the scales. Gf's dad is a cop and he said trucks under 24' long don't have to stop. Passed several cops doing it and none of them cared.

[kowalski]

don't throttle it at all going over the scale, it will fuck up the readings and they'll pull you over and VI you.

Out of curiosity, hows the weigh station shit work?

Do you just roll through or do you come up and stop?

Pull in, get in line, roll slowly over the scales, (hope they don't decide to stop you) and pull back into traffic. Be VERY aware of the first one when you cross into CA. They had 101 questions for me and they camp that long downhill before it hoping to catch you doing over 55mph with a trailer. My dad was pulling my boat with my F150 and got the "slow the F down" gesture from the trooper as he rolled by. Luckily I was going slower in the moving truck or I'm sure he would have nailed me.

PS There are uphill areas where you'll struggle to do 40 if you're loaded down. Factor that in as well. :)

James, go back and re-read the last part of your thread title.

I won't post the joke I was going to make publicly, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

:up:

Hopefully you'll get the chance to swing through. If not, good luck, and I'll miss you, buddy.

You wanting to board Kruzen is your own deal. We leave it at handy-js around these parts.

Must be an Oregon thing. :roll:

When I moved from SoCal to Seattle we did it in 2.5 days. When we came back it took almost 3. You WILL get sick of doing 65mph with a trailer, and the law says you should be doing 55 so good luck with that. It's also a lot more tiring driving a loud moving truck than zipping down in a car. You also have to stop at every weigh station, not to mention fuel stops for that thirsty beast. You're doing the right thing planning for multiple days.

Out of curiosity, hows the weigh station shit work?

Do you just roll through or do you come up and stop?
