Nebraska Weight Station?
Outside of Lincoln on I-80 we encountered a weigh station. Going west, it was heavily signed that ALL pickups pulling trailers must stop, along with the semi's. As we approached, there was a digital sign that was giving instructions to each vehicle - we assume sorting out the semi's with "prepasses" vs those without. As we approached, it flashed "Vehicle must exit". So we waited in line with all the semi's. There were a few other fifths also ahead and behind in line.
I pulled onto the scales, and some loud but completely unintelligible voice came over the PA system. I waited a brief moment, then just drove off and rejoined the freeway.
On the way back, the Eastbound station had the same signs, but was closed.
Since no troopers came after me, and to-date I have not received a summons in the mail, I assume I behaved correctly.
Any Nebraskans care to enlighten me as to why I had to stop, or what the person might have been trying to say??
