No, just for not going into the scales, every time after that they just waved me through and didn't weigh the truck or do an inspection. It was a big waste of time and money, both mine and the hiway patrols.

But the law reads that any truck over 3/4 ton with an altered bed (that means a flatbed pickup ) must stop at the scales. I got a ticket in an SU-34 and found out the hard way after 15 years of blowing past them with out a second thought.

My boyfriend and brother were driving through Illinois today at the car speed limit of 65mph and got pulled over. Cop said anything over 4 tons has to use the truck speed limit. Seems like some bs to me, does that mean we also have to stop at the weigh stations ? Just wondered if anyone else has heard of this.
