pelotron ( @pelotron@midwest.social ) English34•2 months agoMidwesterner here. This is correct. Though it’s missing anti-abortion ads and the PORN DESTROYS ALL LIVES signs that always follow the Adult Superstore ones.
don’t forget the giant sign that just says JESUS. Nothing else, literally just that.

Also, even for those of us who are out, they sell better sex toys than Spencer’s, better lube than Walgreens, and are the only place to buy Wildberry incense for some reason.
And the workers are some of the genuinely nicest people you can meet in the Midwest.

Altima NEO ( @altima_neo@lemmy.zip ) English5•2 months agoWhat are those weigh stations even for? I see them on the Western states too.

MoonMelon ( @MoonMelon@lemmy.ml ) 2•2 months agoTrucks can only be 80,000 pounds max and certain weight ratios per axle (varies by state and conditions).

It has to do mostly with safety and damage to the roads AFAIK. Also it’s where they check all your paperwork and licenses.
