Brokers requiring inspections

Go in a little scales a little heavy on axle in Kansas.
Or just ask. Tell them what’s it for, they will do it for quota, unless it’s freaking cold or raining/snowing then you’ll probably just get a level 3

 

Last time I rolled through the scale. I was told highway patrol does them.

That was over 10 years ago.

And everytime I saw blitz's. The scale was packed with highway patrol.

 

Had that problem for a while. Finally got inspected in Florida. Piece of cake. No BS like some States. Explained my situation. Officer said Volunteer next time. He said they get a lot of Volunteers in January. I imagine because it can be used in lieu of paying for an annual inspection at the Truckstop or Shop.

 

Spring, maybe summer 2023. NB 1-75 north of Tampa. Missing mudflap on Tractor. No problem. Got almost home in Mi. DOT wrote a warning for it. I had a trailer, questioned it. His answer was because I had the hanger, it was a violation based on the wording of regulations, He’s wrong all day long.

 

Because that's not how it should be. You've just had a good technician thoroughly inspected you truck and then went straight to the scale to get a clean inspection...

 

Within a year and Brokers not satisfied? Look it up on safer. Maybe it’s not on there, or maybe Carrier911 is giving out false information like they did with me.

 

If you do this, please record it.

I do enjoy a good laugh.



Best of luck to the op!
