The Chicken Coop is closed,Hammer down get them big trucks rolling. It is not very often you find a weight station closed across Missouri,well here is your chance.

If you do not understand the lingo it is CB(Citizen Band) radio talk. My grandpa used to tell me stories about the Weight stations(Chicken Coops) across Missouri.
He was one of the Old time truckers that passed this way often through the 1940's to the 1960's.

With all the traffic and trucks now going down I-44 this one has no need for service anymore.
