    Road trip in a HET, CA to MT.

    Awesome truck. I'm planning on getting one. Were there any issues with highway scales? Or were you able to just drive right by, since you're not a commercial operator. I plan to do some traveling and the highways would be nice due to the high overhead clearance those trucks need. Thanks.
