    I know right... Last week I drug a trailer with flat tire and a blown airbag 3 miles at 15 mile an hour down the e-lane to get off the #### road where it would be relatively safe... And guess what I found at that exit.... A TRUCKSTOP & TIRE SHOP!!!

    Funny that could also be applied to Southern California, and many other places...

    So we were surprised to see the northbound scale in lima , mt open at 10pm .... So we go across the scale and get the flashing red light saying to come inside..... Officer comes out and guess who it is...?? The same dude that pulled me over a couple days ago wanting to see my oversize permit ! He took one look at me and said

    " hey i remeber you! Im gonna give you a level 3 tonight"

    "No problem, im surprised u guys are still open this late"

    "Yeah we have been finding alot of log violations , lately with the new HOS rules, so were working overtime out here"

    So that was the first thing he asked for was my logs....

    Anyways we passed inspection number 5 this year , or maybe its 6 ... idk lost count.... I think i need to stop crossing the border into this state...

    Oh and that was after we braved a very strong crosswind in idaho that blew tumbleweeds all over blue bird, along with a duststorm that made me think i was still in arizona.. Then we navigated thru a small freezing rain storm in dillon montana.. But it wasnt to bad.. Its nice to be back in cooler weather

    So your a cop and bad weather magnet?

    Maybe you should steal the Navy's slogan...

    It's not a job, it's an adventure.

    Be safe!

    Well the guy ended up being cool as heck... a complete 180 from where our first conversation ended up...i dont mind the level 3 inspection... if you fail it , u must be an idiot... nothing but a paperwork and logbook check, he did get sneaky and ask if i had backup paperlogbooks.

    "Yes i do, you montana boys always ask for those haha"

    Then he checked my fuel tanks to make sure i wasnt bending uncle sam over..

    Then asked if i had my medical card .. Never got asked that one before, but i did have it of course... they play all the angles out here and try to get u for every little thing..

    You don't have to worry about fighting me to go up there.

    I think they turn a blind eye to locals.

    If he dipped your tanks that's a level 2. Level 3 is driver only.

    It doesnt help that the company safety score went thru the roof last month because of so many failed inspections.... Safety dept sent out an email about a week back saying "prepare to be inspected, fmcsa has put us on high alert".. Hopefully some more clean inspections will get them to go bother somebody else
