I had never known there to be a weigh station on the stretch of road I was on.
It surprised me when I saw the sign that said all vans and trucks must go into the weigh station.
I knew it was stupid for me to pull in, but I was obeying the law. When I got up on the scales, the police officer inside told me to pull over. I pulled off the scales, expecting to get a ticket, but not knowing why. He came up to the door and asked for my license and the registration to the service van. I told him I worked for the HVAC company and the service van belonged to the HVAC company I worked for. He nodded and said he could see that. He asked me if I knew my driver’s license was expired? He also told me the registration for the HVAC service van had also expired. I thought he was joking because he found it funny that I would pull a service van into the weigh station unless I was there to work on a truck. As far as I knew, I was heading to a house to work on an air conditioning unit. He told me to take care of my license and registration and make sure the information was reported back to the address and phone number on the warning. I called my boss as soon as I got to the house, and told him he needed to get the registration taken care of on the HVAC service van because I had just received a warning.
