    I find humor in them giving me the green. When they're open. And I'm carrying placarded Hazmat. :biggrin_25513:
    I've had Oregon check my chains on a sunny 57 degree day.
    Bunch of anal...

    What, you want them to put down their cup of Frapachino and fresh donut to check your chains when it's snowy or icy and cold? ;). C'mon, we're talking about the DOT here...they only go outside when it's nasty weather after an accident so they can find as many reasons to write a citation to those involved.

    The simple answer is that Oregon is governed by a bunch of elitist, communist, worthless effing hippies. Not unlike their neighbors Washington and California. America would be great again if we could just nuke all of the coastal cities on the west and northeast coasts.

    Ill toss in a couple of more cities America could do without. Chicago, Minneapolis, I would say Detroit but that hitshole is pretty much a burned out bus already! Feel free to add to the wish list:rolleyes:

    At some point in the near future (20 yrs?) these large metro areas will be burnt out shells. No services, LEO or...it's already here.

    I'm sitting in Oregon right now and have pre-pass. Haven't had a red light in Oregon in almost a year. You have to enroll through the Oregon DOT and pre-pass for their Green-Light program. A couple forms to fill out and then you're all set. If you're a company driver and get a constant red light in Oregon, tell your boss to get enrolled.

    I have the Elite Pre-pass. It has the EZ PASS, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and KTA all in one as well as tolls for every bridge that charges to cross.
    So thats why I was wondering why Oregon pulls me in everytime.
    I know Oregon does not do IFTA and that why you can get fuel 30 cents cheaper when your registered with the state fuel tax program and they ask you for your license plate at the pilot or loves and T/A
    Its just bothers the hell out of me when I am 100% compliant and still get no green light.
    I just wondered if I was targeted or if this happens to others as well.

    at least Oregon raised their truck speed limit from 55 mph and doesn't have a ticket waiting for you at the next scale if you get there faster than that like they used to

    If you read the entire thread this is covered in there. You have to register with the Oregon green light program. It's just a form to fill out and then you're good to go. Otherwise, it's as if you don't have a pre-pass.

    I read it. I just find it interesting that I need to file another form for the pre-pass when technically I signed up with Pre-pass to avoid all that.....I mean instead of having 8 different transponders and bills, Pre-Pass I thought was the solution to consolidate everything....meaning they handle all the paperwork I pay one bill.

    For sure though I will enquire about it
