Trucking Diaries - Episode #4 (American Truck Simulator)

[@thegamemaster2000]

As a trucker in the USA the things you are thinking of are called scales. When you get a load it's best to scale out to make sure each axle has the proper weight distribution and that you are not over loaded ( lots of companies love to over load your truck to save a few pennies). Also if a scale house is open you are obligated to stop unless you have a pass. The pass sticks on the window and if it turns red you have to pull into the scale house if it turns green you can pass right on by. If you do not have a pass (the pass is optional and is priced like a subscription fee. some companies pay it for you though) then you have to pull into the scale house. If you do not, you get a cop chasing after you and at minimum a fine. some times you will loose your licenses and a cop will escort you back to the scale house to weigh you. If you are over weight, that is a whole other legal battle. lmao

[@vibhav_m]

Man you check weight distribution in US, youtube truck overloading in India

[@thegamemaster2000]

Vibhav Mohan well each axle can only hold so much weight to prevent damage to roads. hell, 80,000lbs (40tons) is the max you can pull with out a special permit. But I know trucks that can pull twice that much. it's all about road preservation. We are not a impoverished nation like india, so it makes no sense to destroy roads just because we have the ability to.

[@vibhav_m]

+Deadlylyon15 Ok, actually here in India there are no trailer+trucks just conected ones and in villages they are overloaded as all hell.

[@thegamemaster2000]

Vibhav Mohan yes, you stated that already. I know what sort of trucks are driven over there, and the road condition is the least of their worries, they drive passes that would make any grown man cringe in fear. But here in america, we do things differently because we have a government that regulates what we can do and how we can do it in the transportation industry.

[@thegamemaster2000]

***** people keep telling me that, but i have never been waved through. never. lmao. I think this is some elaborate joke on me. It has to be. :D

[@SanDiegoKid]

If you see a weigh station and the sign says 'open', you have to go in. If it isn't open, you can fly right on by.

[@SanDiegoKid]

The police do not initiate you to go in, but if it is open and you fly by it, you can expect highway patrol to be right behind you

[@llixensl]

+Daygoboy Ty Just curious are you talking about in game or real life?

[@SanDiegoKid]

Real life. But it should be like that in the game but i don't know

[@CTEOconnor]

Hey Squirrel. I work as a Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer in Canada. If the scale sign indicates that they are open then the trucks must report. If they bypass they will get pulled over and fined. Feel free to ask me any questions u need!

[@DannyK1992]

This aged VERY well

[@gustavcannon2014]

well then

[@stefannbogaard3637]

It's here 3 years later lol

[@MJRookieForge]

"37 degrees Celsius?? Are you having a laugh????" Welcome to Nevada, buddy.

[@tomallison9362]

Makes me laugh. I live in texas where our summers have gotten up to 107f some summers, or roughly 41c. Our average summers are over the 37c mark (which translates to around 98f) with our average summers down here going up to if not over 100f

[@euphoriaggaminghd]

@@tomallison9362 yep even here in albania 40C isnt rare. Weve had quiet a few occasions where temps managed to reach around 43.

[@curtisrios7423]

It gets to 110 where I live

[@jamessmith5694]

in Canada i scale out at the plant don't stop at D.O.T scales unless lights are on

[@jamessmith5694]

+Jeremy Burch I haul cement and sand so most of the spots I go to you have to scale in and out of I don't use cat scales very often

[@morgfarm1]

To answer the question, Squirrel, Truck drivers are REQUIRED to scale if the station is open. If it's closed then they can just pass it. We have 3 weigh stations around me in Douglas County, Oregon. One on Highway 42, about 1 mile to my west, 1 on Interstate 5 to the north about 50 miles, and 1 more to the south about 15 miles. Of course there are more along the way either direction, and multiple travel stops (Including the Love's Travel Center about 4 miles to my East on Highway 99/42 at Interstate 5 Exit 119, and another at the Pilot at Exit 148. Travel Center Scales are NOT Required stops.

[@EliWCoyote]

11:45 Most weigh stations in the US kind of open and close randomly...somewhat like how the cops set up speed traps randomly. The point is to randomly catch trucker scofflaws without having to spend the money needed to keep the weigh station open 24/7.

[@Draco_Alpha]

The amount of traffic you’re facing is pretty realistic. Once you get away from the big cities and into the countryside the roads are very empty. Welcome to America! And yes, sometimes there are random signs that make giant blind spots in intersections... It makes it super difficult sometimes to finish a turn.

[@koaladude1852]

they better have a key West job when they reach Florida the drive would be awesome

[@nickcahill8156]

+Koala Dude it will be a while before they get to the east coast, probably a year or longer but im assuming when they get to Florida they will have some key west jobs

[@griffko]

Ohh route 1 will be awesome if they have it

[@nickcahill8156]

crossing that giant bridge would be amazing.

[@jjkeywest]

I hope dude

[@steezy1795]

+Koala Dude Oh you mean with the 7 mile bridge? That would be awesome. Floridians rule! I am one.

[@DrtyDiesel]

When it comes to weigh stations, if a trucking company has a good safety score, they can get a device called "PrePass". It allows the driver to pass under a sensor on the highway, if the driver gets a green light they dont pull into the weigh station. If they geta red light, they are required to pull in and get weighed.

[@erwincummings1993]

In USA on Interstate Roads, most trucking companies provide their drivers with Electronic Log books and In-Cab-Signalling. "In Cab Signalling" dictates whether or not they have to enter into open weigh stations. They are run by State Troopers. They also may decide to check logs, paperwork and inspect the vehicle and load. At the border between USA and Canada, in addition to above, if your truck or load is deemed too dirty, you have to go have it washed and come back later. Even when the Scales/Weigh Stations are closed, troopers have portable scales and can pull you over anywhere on the road.

[@Azivegu]

alright, just a correction on his geology, The Rocky Mountains are not caused by the Pacific Plate. This is because the San Andreas fault is a transform boundary (meaning the move in opposite directions relatively.) The Juan de Fuca Plate was pushed underneath the North American Plate, but unlike most plates where it subducts down and melts, it kind of slid underneath the North American Plate like a sliver under your skin. That is Why the Rockies are such a broad mountain Range (compared to the Andes, Alps or Drakenbergs)

[@C2JZ]

+Azivegu He's talking about the Sierra Nevada mountains, which were created by the subduction of the Juan de Fuca under the North American plate, full subduction with melting. However, you're correct that it is now a transform boundary (San Andreas fault). As the Juan de Fuca has subducted, its southern boundary has slid north, leaving the transform boundary behind. I wish I could find the animations we had in class, I'm not the best at explaining things :P

[@Azivegu]

C2JZ haha, I know what you are talking about and can visualize it, but I am a geology student so I dont know if that is standard. But the JdF was larger, but is almost completely 'absorbed' by the NA plate. The Sierra are really a part of the formation of the Rockies (just the flat version of it, for roughly the same reasons the Rockies formed, but not exactly. it involves mathematics and geological theories that I would need several books to explain in detail, and Im still just a student.) But what it all comes down to, if you want to learn some interesting orogenese (mountain building events) the west coast of the US and Canada are really interesting.

[@C2JZ]

+Azivegu Hmm, interesting. I never learned much about the formation of the Rockies so can't really comment on that. What I learned was that the Sierras were specifically formed by the subduction of the Juan de Fuca (actually looking into it again, I'm reminded that it used to be called the Farallon plate before it was absorbed into different sections with the JdF being the northern). I've only taken two classes so far though, Intro Geology and Geology of California, so it's entirely possible what you're talking about is just further down the line than where I'm at. I'll look forward to it as I continue my studies!

[@mobypimpdrop1054]

+C2JZ + Azivegu IIRC the pacific plate is moving northwards, and the North American plate southwards, and stuck in the middle is the Juan de Fuca plate, which is just being smashed into the NA Plate, creatin the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At some point, the western coast will separate from the JdF and NA Plates, and the San Francisco Bay Area will basically flood the central valley of California.

[@RailRide]

+Moby Pimpdrop The Pacific plate is moving northwest (shown by the arrangement of the Hawaiian islands) and the North American is moving due west. The San Andreas accounts for the difference in motion between the two. Supposedly at some point in the far-off future the motion along the SA will shift to another fault farther east as North America continues overriding the eastern edge of the Pacific plate.

[@harryhollaway]

Hey squirrel you do know that in the settings you can set a second gearbox switch so that you can have 1-6 then 7-12 then 13-18.

[@LC-qp7pr]

He prefers torturing us instead.

[@ashishjangir8885]

two episodes a day keeps me happy!!

[@jeremyambrose7141]

as a heavy haul trucker in the U.S. when the sign says open we have to go to the scale, weight station, or port of entry but if you have a form of in cab transponder and run two metal plates on the highway it well weigh you vehicle as you travel and send a signal to the transponder to bypass or pull in

[@CoDxFaNaTiC]

"When it gets over 30 (86F) I start to give up", if only Squirrel knew it gets up the 110F here in California during the summer lmao

[@TW_2704]

If the weigh station is closed, just go by. If its open you should stop.

[@guymcman2806]

The mountains on the western side of Cali are formed by the convergent plate boundary, however, the Sierra Nevadas (the east side of Cali) are a batholith which was once a magma chamber that has cooled.

[@Azivegu]

Hey paul, dont worry about 37 degrees in Nevada. Its so dry there that it is actually pretty nice. Just remember to drink enough water.

[@Alpacalypse8]

Welcome to America! Trees, signs, large bushes, fences, if it's got a stop sign, we'll block your view for you! Also, when you enter a city, the speed is going to drop massively. On a highway it's generally to 65ish (depending on city/state) and on a small road 30 is fairly typical.

[@brandoyip]

I really love the grunge on the design of ATS (uneven road textures, dirty buildings, rusty stuff etc). But one thing that I really think the developers should do is maybe add some potholes or uneven bits of road, particularly in remote areas. It would really enhance the feel of driving as you'll be driving over bumps and uneven parts where you can feel and hear the tyres and suspension of the truck, instead of a smooth drive with just the visuals of the uneven road textures and whatnot. It just doesn't feel as authentic. Even the roads in urban areas aren't always perfectly smooth.

[@justinturner653]

They should make the cops way more "american". As in stopping you for driving 10+ over OR 10+ under the posted speed limit, and maybe having the dogs called to search the cab for meth every once in a while...

[@shawnwarehime]

In the summer time in Cali there are plenty of places, including Fresno, where the high gets up to 43 Celsius for weeks at a time! That's about 110 F

[@outlawfarmsmn2802]

When entering jackpot the speed change is not always posted. Around here it is just noted that in towns the speed limit is 30mph and in the rural areas the speed limit of 55mph.

[@bills534]

I used to work for a trucking company here in the states. It wasn't uncommon for truckers to take loads that they knew were over weight. The weigh stations have signs ahead of them, and if the sign is lit the trucks have to stop and get weighed at the following weigh station, when the station was full they would turn the sign off temporarily. I heard stories about drivers who knew they were overloaded, pulling off to the side of the road right before a lit weigh station sign and waiting for it to turn off before gunning it to make it past the sign before it turned back on.

[@WolfgangBrozart]

Hey a Red Dead Redemption mention! It's probably in my top 10 fav games ever, if not top 5. The story and atmosphere is just incredible.

[@bryanspencer7916]

Hello from the future rdr2 came out

[@jrod4855]

yes everywhere has weigh stations. Being overweight can cause road problems & collapses. In my state, Truck driving licenses can be suspended & revoked for failure to stop at a weigh station

[@DodgeMan360]

The scale houses in Nova Scotia have weight sensors on the highway before the scale house, if the scale house is open and the sensors detect a heavy vehicle, large LED signs will flash "Truck Report to Scale" and the trucks have to pull in to be weighed.

[@SextonHardcastle85]

With scales here, if its open and you don't have a bypass device like Prepass you must enter. From there they determine if you can bypass the actual scale or if you must be weighed.

[@SextonHardcastle85]

+Jeremy Burch I believe it has a lot to do with the company's CSA score. I have been driving for 7 years with and without Prepass. I have to say from my experience I've had less inspections with the company I am with now with no Prepass then the ones I've had a Prepaid with.

[@thetumbleweeds878]

Usually there's signs that have lights that flash when they're open. And then any truck unfortunate enough to pass it at that time, has to go on to the scale.

[@systemofadumb1]

In eastern usa we have signs maybe a half mile before the scale saying if it's open or closed, if it's open you drive through at the designated speed limit and give a moving weight unless your pulled in for an inspection(aka if your truck looks raggy or you're driving like a maniac)

[@jl-fz3um]

I haven't been to northern Nevada except Reno, but the freeways in the Mojave Desert (southwestern Nevada where California and Nevada meet) are very much like that.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Just finished watching #3 perfect timing! keep them coming mate loving it :)

[@cameltanker1286]

In North America if a weigh station is open all commercial vehicles are required to pull in and be weighed. Sometimes driver will have to submit to a log book and safety inspection.

[@johnnyslogic7286]

the 18 speed box has 2 splits so if you have a 6 speed box youll be able to do 18 speed

[@harryhollaway]

Hey squirrel you also don't need to remap your controller when in a 12 speed vs an18 speed you just wouldn't use the second switch butten

[@jacobwoods8738]

Squirrel, you should do a job to Ely, Nevada, it is near Elko. Ely is home to the Nevada Northern Railway, which is a heritage railway from the pages of history. It just closed in the 1970s and they left it, so it is unchanged, the engines have never left. Ely is home to all these neat old buildings and the railway goes through town,mot their historic workshops and depot there, with 3 steam trains.

[@chuckheining9425]

We call those 28 foot trailers "pups". On the interstate, they are pulled two at a time. Normally, they are broken down to singles for final delivery. When you see two of them together, we call them "doubles".

[@spartan0738]

So... Just gone done on Google Earth and ATS is pretty spot on. Jackpot, NV is indeed filled with little trailers and houses similar to the ones in-game. As well as when when exiting Interstate 80 into Wells, NV(not mentioned in-game) is approx. 67 miles away from Jackpot which is correct also correct in-game according to Squirrel's odometer. IMO that makes the game so much cooler knowing its accurate!

[@alaincisneros2425]

The speed limit change is in 16:01 on the right, it says in red letters "slow down"

[@squarebie]

Speed limits are often implied, based on where you are, here in North America. For example, here in Ontario, the implied limits are 80 km/h on rural roads and 50 in urban or rural residential areas. More often than not, speed limits are posted, but when they are not, they still exist. Having said that, we Ontarians are quite notorious for always speeding, though the rule of thumb there is around about 10 to 15 over, as speeding infractions start to cost more at that point...hence speed limits of 40 and even 30 around schools and such, and even slower in campgrounds and the like.

[@hopeindarktimes]

Lots of mountains around Vegas - it is essentially sitting in a bowl. A mild challenge to fly in to, esp from high altitudes.

[@WindchargerPrime]

In Terms of weight stations in America. Where I am from the old Weigh Station near Morehead, KY had a boom over both lanes of I-64 for both directions that told truckers Via an onboard computer System called the AVI if they where free to continue with a Green Light or Needed to pull over and get weighed with a Red Light. As far as I am aware many weigh stations have the same sort of system across America.

[@jascharl]

The mountain range you speak of is called the Sierra Nevada range. Runs most of the length of the border of nev/cal

[@ObLiVoNiZeDCody]

It's amazing how tourist-y Squirrel sounds driving around video game America. "37 Celsius, you having a laugh", "There's a casino up there, do you see it" Love you Squirrel, and welcome to the States

[@marksman1416]

The mountains between California and Nevada are the Rockies.And the name for why Nevada is a desert because of the rain is the rain shadow effect.Hope they put Freightliner trucks in.

[@ddylla85]

Loving the series! Especially enjoying the out-of-towner aspect. learning American highway laws/regulations. Also that would be the Rocky Mountains

[@coryclark7706]

Weighing for Commercial truck traffic is mandatory with the following exceptions: 1. Bypass 2. Station Closed Some states have a clause that say any vehicle that is towing a trailer.

[@jaysekhon8014]

Weigh station are not open 24 hours. There are digital signs before scales that say OPEN or CLOSED. If it says OPEN, all trucks loaded or empty must pull in for inspection and weigh in. If its CLOSED, you can just drive on through without having to pull over.

[@Dom13WorstNW]

I can't wait until they reach the Northwest or the Appalachian Mountains

+Dom13WorstNW I'm hyped for the midwest but that's a LONG way away.

[@mobypimpdrop1054]

+Gaming With Llamas Never seen more trucks in one place than central Pennsylvania Would love to be trucking along horse-drawn buggies near Lancaster, PA

[@Wcingmachiners]

maybe even haul some oil field equipment in PA and surrounding states

[@NocturnalMoonlight]

+Gaming With Llamas I really want to see how well they do the cities in Oklahoma, and if they do my hometown, Apache.

[@GamingWithLlamasgla]

+The BruteKiller Never heard of there because I'm from Missouri but I highly doubt they will do my hometown as a pickup/drop off point. Maybe just as a aesthetic town.

[@IronDukef83]

In the States, depending on where you are, the speed limit in cities is implied. You are expected tp know it when you enter a town or city, unless otherwise posted.

[@keithbrettell2058]

I'm slightly envious because you're a lot closer to the truckin' life bein' a gameplay vlogger than I am but your enthusiasm towards being a trucker and bein' in the US makes me chuckle. You're like a kid at Christmas in a toy store.

[@matthewhoffner6238]

Us truckers only stop at a weigh station when they are open. Normally once every state.bit can vary. The only exception is when using quick pass with company truck. It can also be called e pass. Please give more episodes today and please consider making them longer too please. Sincerely your Matthew hoffner real life trucker.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

You have to go to ever single weigh station that is open. If you do not, you will be searched and fined and in some cases arrested if your truck was avoiding scales to hide something. Some trucks have a pass so they can be weighed as they drive down freeway

[@EverydayExitSign]

Squirrel! In jackpot you passed the speed limit sign. Some signs are electronic, they measure your speed and tell you your going too fast or too slow

[@jeepluv76]

37 degrees C is 98.6 degrees F which is the average temperature in Texas from June-September. It is horrible plus humidity it can get pretty uncomfortable I call it four months of pure hell!

[@markruiter2170]

In Ontario Canada the weigh stations are only open when the lights are flashing about a mile ahead and it is a mandatory stop

[@redneckcorner101]

In Canada there's a sign that says all trucks pull in when lights are flashing (on the top of the sign) It's best to weigh yourself beforehand as to not get any overweight tickets.

[@ITWGames]

At the weigh stations there's usually a sign that says open or closed. If its open you have to go in. if not of course youcan skip it.

[@tedsadv15]

you are pre weighed before you actually get to the scale, there is a scale in the actual road and if you meet the weight restrictions it flags you and gives you the light to enter scales. Alot of times a dot sits before scale also for visual inspections and if he catches anything out of place he will flag you in. All are different depending on state but the majority work this way. There is a pre scale design the you can actually run your tires between the scale and it want register your truck and you just keep on trucking lol.

[@Dillionp94]

I'm a trucker and when come to the weigh station. There will be a sign if it's open or closed. If open you MUST go to the weigh station otherwise you'll get a big fine for skipping it

[@chuckheining9425]

Weigh stations in America have "open" and "closed" signs for most of them. If it's open, you have to go into them. There is nothing voluntary in America. You do what they say or it costs you $. As for speed limits, a lot of them end with a "5", and that is why the speedometers mostly end in "5". Most common are 25, 35, 55, 65.

[@StoneC0ld5345]

DOT scales are not optional. When they're open, they're mandatory for all commercial vehicles. The only exception is if you have a special transponder on your truck that can communicate with the scale house ahead and tell you if you need to pull in and scale or if you can stay on the Interstate and bypass it. If the transponder does not give you a bypass, or if you don't have the transponder at all, you must pull into the scale when it's open. Period. The "CAT Scales" you see at truck stops (in the game, the ones where there's a fuel station in the same place) are entirely optional. They have no relation to the DOT, they're there for truckers to weigh their trucks to ensure their loads and weight distribution are legal.

[@Tropingenie]

That general store reminds me of a store I want to in Vallejo. "King's Market and Liquor". Didn't stay long.

[@MrHamof]

16:12 Maybe it's just assumed that the speed limit drops to 30 once you're in the city.

[@chris43505]

hey squirrel your over revving keep the rpm between 10 &15 rpm for each gear shift up or shift down unless your slowing down to stop

[@touge242]

The Sierra Nevada mountains are not because of a plate compression, it's a batholith that is more resilient than the surrounding rock.

[@Damon95yj]

Hey Squirrel, if your using your g27 just go into the settings and set it up for an 18 speed, just setup 2 shift toggles.

[@piffsterr2]

Trucking in the USA if the scale is open every truck has to cross the sale, if the scale is closed, no one goes through it. And there are signs about a mile before the scale telling you if its open or not.

[@richardharris8229]

In Nevada you'll get tonnes of military aircraft, with Nevada being the home of Nellis AFB. A huge & very busy Air Force Base, especially when a 'Red Flag' exercise is taking place lol

[@trevorburgess8916]

I looked up Jackpot,NV in google street view, surprisingly they've actually modeled it after the town. At least some of the stuff in the game IS in real life like the RV park. Very interesting that they're really going down to finer details now, rather than just one or two big land marks that they'd have in the distance in ETS2

[@Spp493]

The interiors and exteriors in these trucks are so well done. i cant find any differences in the real trucks.

[@officercam9]

Truck Drivers in the USA have to stop at a weight station in each state. If they don't then a State Trooper that is certified in Commercial Trucking will pull you over and they would check for inspections and stuff on the side of the road.

[@dezza2001]

Not sure about the USA but possibly the reason for speed drops without a sign is that once you are in city limits and not on a major highway, the speed is 50KPH unless otherwise posted. So if there is no sign, it is 50. That said, most times when you are on a road and there is a change, they will usually post the change so likely just a game thing.

[@GrizzlyGrid]

that T680 Is so realistic my dad had one when he drove and it looks exactly like his. much nostalgia much real

[@JDSleeper]

So, the California map ends at Holbrook. South of there is the town of Yreka...and south of that, next to Mount Shasta, is Weed. I'm sure some map modders will add those sooner or later.

[@natelittlefield1730]

If the weigh station says it is open ALL commercial vehicles must stop to get weighed, and if you dont sometimes they have a chase police car to pull you over.

[@blackhillsrc600]

Squirrel in a America if you come into a town by law it is a given that a populated area has a speed limit of no more than 30. So unless marked otherwise a speed limit in a residential area is 30 MPH.

[@chaoszen1]

If a weigh station is open you have to stop in unless you get bypassed which an electronic gizmo in your truck that gives you permission to bypass it is called PrePass. Not stopping at an open weigh station will get you a big fat ticket and a huge hassle.And weigh stations do not exist for public safety they are mainly a revenue generator for the State and the Department of Transportation (DOT). The weigh station is just a modern version of highway robbery.

[@fighting17chicago]

I've been to Jackpot on a motorcycle and there is nothing on the main hwy other than a huge Casino. Its also where the time zone switches from Pacific to Mountain Time. Weird little city

[@MBG141]

In regards to trailer homes, it's usually a finance thing. An average trailer home is around $30,000 - $50,000 USD.

[@farkasinhgston]

In Canada, there are signal lights that indicate whether you need to stop at the weigh scales or not.

[@WillGonja]

In the United States i'am pretty sure this is universal in every state but in town speed limit is normally 30 mph if so when ever you enter city limits normally posted by a "Green Sign" if a speed limit is not posted 30 mph is the mandated limit by default. As for the weight stations i'am not sure how they work but i do have a family member who does actually drive Semi truck across the us.

[@FM4AMGV]

why don't you set up your controls for the 18 speed trucks...

[@jeffkoch9634]

Squirrel in the states the scale stations pick trucks to be wade by random by cameras .the interstate system is marked with a I IN front of the number, ODD# run NORTH AND SOUTH , EVEN # RUN EAST TO WEST.

[@joshuapate2434]

In Wisconsin if you are over 7 tons and the weight station is open you have to pull in.

[@sammesservy4443]

I was recently in Sydney Australia. The first day I was there its was 40 celcius with 40 hours of jetlag...

[@williamfortenberry621]

in the US it is way different as you already know from trucking in Europe/UK here you have to stop at scales no matter what if you don't you can get a heavy ticket from the dot

[@douglasmurcia8135]

You have to go to the weight stations at least once if you want to change states.My dad has received a 2000 dollar ticket due to being two tons over weight.

[@asheer9114]

Paul, just a small hint for hired drivers, let them first level long distance cargo, so they won't stuck in one area for too long (Like Lenka constantly hauling sand from one part of Vegas to another ^_- ) and they will pretty quick start to earn quite lot of $.

[@jonowee]

Just realised all along these US trucks are displaying in celsius and not fahrenheit, this aren't Canada. Also, are those F-22s in ATS?

[@Draconic_Joker]

If its open u goin or you can get a bypass now bc scales on rd and if your overwieght and have no permit for load then a 10k ticket if its closed you go by also you go to truck center to scale load to make sure you are legal on all axles

[@kingherobrin]

At least in Canada all vehicles must go to the scales, if they are above a certain weight

[@SM120THBORE]

+Brokenbob13 Only commercial vehicles

[@bobbyafc]

Not sure anyone has answered this yet (apologies if you have!) but I thought I could answer your question about the mobile homes. Jackpot is super young as towns go (it's not even a town, officially, but that's a boring civics explanation) and in the beginning banks weren't sure it would last, which is understandable when you find out how many ghost towns Nevada actually has, so they were hesitant to extend loans for house construction in the town. Because of that people lived in trailers, I'm guessing they just became part of the place's identity.

[@cerealspoon7876]

in America sometimes we don't have speed limit signs so in the towns is 30. We memorize it in drivers ed.

[@p_napes]

Who needs school when you squirrels road talks haha loving you vids and streams!

Hey bro just to let you know here in the US trucks, cars and etc speed up on the on ramps and slow down on the off ramps. Oh yeah and also Off Ramps and On Ramps our basically freeway entrances but your suppose too speed up and merge into to traffic.

8:05 - 9:00 Almost every single car gets into the right lane, after passing him. Is that because he's going slow and they're just passing him? or is it just a coded thing?

I never see it in California. But in many states the #1 lane is strictly a passing lane.
