You have the federal DOT inspection on truck and trailer? They should have given you a sticker for both along with the paperwork for the truck.

Yes, for the cost of what $15 a month it is nice bypassing scaled on the regular. I’ve been pulled in very few times and green lighted most often.
Plus for tolls. They take the tolls money straight out of acct and it ,ales it nice although I try to avoid tolls.
OOIDA membership makes it cheaper.
On a another note, right after I went active and got my prepass I got an email that said my pull-in rate was now at 100% and I was baffled (what happened to the 5%) so I called Prepass and they said my DOT was flagged and for the next 30 days I would get redlighted at every open scale. Was not sure why as I had not had any issues, they said it is a random deal. That part is true. On day 30 it went right back to normal and I get mostly green lighted. Some of them scale lines are long and nice to go around.
Also remember any questions they ask you at a scale house is an investigation and they are fishing.
Now you have to tell us where you are headed. Hopefully not into some nasty weather.

I was told Texans never left the Country, I mean State. I don’t know for sure as I have only visited Texas and don’t claim to be a Texan.
