    This might be the wrong place to post this. But I haven't seen it posted yet. Does anyone know when the 72 hours start?

    The 72-hour inspection blitz they do every year about this time...

    I'm curious too...I'd like to get a CVSA sticker on my window.

    You all can save the trouble by going to a coop and asking for an inspection....
    You don't need an appointment...and I'm sure DOT will be too happy to assist you....

    You can also go the the IRS and beg for an audit too. But I wouldn't recommend it.

    Actually some of the DOT guys are less likely to ticket you for something they find when you ask to be inspected than when they pull you out back and find it.
    If you are 95% positive that you are good to go then ask.

    You're only asking for trouble if your equipment isn't up to par. In which case you get everything you have coming. If you're a professional driver who drives good equipment then you have nothing to worry about. Go for it.
