    We just had a driver call in, he pulled into a scalehouse and an IRS agent asked to make a copy of his BOL. A number of other drivers had to do the same thing. Does anyone know why whey would need to do this? None of our drivers or office personnel have heard of this being done before.

    I'd call the scale house to figure out what is going on. Check to see if you're getting correct information.

    I am not sure if that is legal without a warrant . But God help the driver that dares to say no to them

    First time I ever heard of IRS being at a scale house? Did they check his fuel?

    Yea that's a possibility too but the way I understand it, IRS has something to do with those fuel checks they run in scales- to make sure trucks aren't running the wrong (non taxable) fuel?
