    Ya but if they are going to do the road check then do it no matter the weather conditions are.How often do you see a DOT doing a full blown inspection in the winter.I asked 2 officers at the ky scale house why they aren't out there inspecting trks.One said hes too fat to crawl under the trl,I told him to lose some weight then.Another guy said hes not dressed for it.I told him so what we have to get out every day and do a pretrip.I joked with these guys but they knew I was serious They had I think 3 officers in there doing absolutely nothing.One was outside doing his job.There's too many officers at some of these scale houses wasting the tax payers money.

    They know that each year, a marker light that is burnt out will directly kill someone .00025 times for each million miles traveled. A missing mudflap, every .00197 million miles somebody loses an eye, and so on.

    A light cord that “just doesn’t look nice” is directly responsible for .00036 deaths per million miles. It’s just like the light cord shot somebody in cold blood. They then extrapolate that out to come up with the figures. :biggrin_25525:
