Word of advise. Stay out of the pickle parks in Ohio on Interstate highways
Motor carrier enforcement dont normally patrol the Ohio turnpike. But once in awhile they will work it for a week. The Ohio Turnpike is not owned or operated by the State. They have to be invited or show up for a wreck. OSP is basically rented for services on OTP. Used to not issue points on license for violation on TP. Because your paying to drive on a private road.
While most commercial truck stops would be private property. They are more than likely private property/public patrolled. A owner or manager can ask the cop to leave. I have seen it happen. But as a owner op. You have no leg to stand on. Unless its your property.ZVar Thanks this. -

I always pass my inspections. I went in the store used the restroom and got my receipt while he was doing data entry on his computer then we moved to a parking spot and he did the whole 9 yards. Its that kinda #### that drives business away from those truck stops..
DOT does the same #### up by the TA by Tallidagia I think it was. They sit right at the exit of the TA and pull you over to do inspections. As a result, I stopped going there when I'm in that area.
Also to make this story even better, I get out on the road and see big red line of traffic on google maps. Was an hour & a half delay on google maps. The road was closed from a wreck so I took an exit went around through the hillbilly lands of North FL.. get back to i10 just past the wreck not a single car on the road headed west. I've never see i10 with no cars/trucks anything.. I got off only 1 other car got off with me everyone else kept going into the blocked road.. lol
Anyway, the next weigh station was like 10 miles after I got on.. Still no traffic..so of course, they pull me onto the sales.. I'm the only truck.. then they say "driver go around to the inspection station"..
I'm like you have to be kidding... I pull out the inspection sheet tell him I just got inspected 20 min s ago.. Still say drive around back they might let you go..
So I have to drive around back and there is like 4 DOT guys all waiting.. I show them the paper and they ended up letting me go.. I was like there is no #### way I'm getting 2 LVL 1'st in 30 mins...T.Rucker, God prefers Diesels, Doealex and 1 other person Thank this. -

The only time I ever had an Inspection in a semi was side of the road on i75.. To me that is just absolutely stupid for DOT to do this stuff like that..
I've seen in Ohio before they will sit just before a rest area and pull you over so you go into the rest area and they do it there.
Imo that's how they should do roadside inspections. Way safer.PiscesLuv Thanks this. -
So you my friend are full of what is in a bull haulers trailer. -
