Chowchilla CA Truck Weigh Station??
Have a couple of questions regarding the weigh station just north of Chowchlla CA in the northbound lanes. Prior to reach the turnout fo the weigh station, there's some, what I assume to be, sensor...

The sensors above the roadway are for reading a transponder in the truck they are called a greenlight transponder. They allow the trucks to bypass the scales if they are registered with the state.There are some companies that have all their trucks in this program.
This a money saving program for them, it takes a lot of time and energy to start and stop a truck. Operating a heavy truck is estimated to cost $1.96 per minute and stopping at a weigh station can take five minutes, also the starting and stopping this way puts more pollution in the air, by doing this they save money and help air quality.
