If I ever have something to market at auction I usually go 100 miles east to Bear Paw Livestock Comm. Co in chinook. To get there I have to drive through Havre and right by a scale. I have drove by it ever since I was old enough to drive with cattle going to Bear Paw. Last week I got pulled over going up the hill into havre by the DOT guy and received a $235 ticket for not going over the scale with my one ton ford and 28 ft gooseneck... never been warned, never knew I had to and according to everyone else I have talked to they never knew the law either. I guess according to MT if you are over 14,000 you have to go over the scales and it is my duty as a licensed driver to know it. I am over that empty and I can't possibly overload my outfit so I guess I don't see the point.
