How to know if you should stop for DOT checkpoint.

There are cameras and a deal in the road on the eastbound side right in front of Alma truck center. I have still went around every time without fail and never had any issues. I’m fairly certain an officer has to be monitoring them to cause you any pain and suffering. When we had that slaughter cow deal for Cargill I come through there plenty heavy and never heard a peep about it

 

That, and flock cameras too right before the Frog Bayou bridge. I'm not sure, but I know several of the local DOT, and they tell me that they watch the cameras (if they're working 64) on the off ramps at exit 13 WB and exit 5 EB.

If a truck rolls off those and then down 64 they'll watch them closely.

Even with me knowing several of the guys fairly close, and as local as one can get, I've never crossed the scales on 40 in my truck. I won't cross that WB OK one either.

I'll roll through Fort Smith into Roland OK and hit 40 at the 325, or hop on 540 into OK, and hit 40 in Sallisaw at the 308.

 

They will stop you and direct you if they want to investigate you further. If no one is directing you, keep moving.
Not to be confused with weigh stations where you always pay attention to the light signals.

 

I don't cross that OK coop either. I get off at the 1 @ Dora & go around. I get tired of getting a red light on the prepass coming back east,so if they want me they can get me on 64.

 

That OK scale is full of #### suckers

 

You drive through slow. If the are ignoring you, keep on moving.

 

If they want you they’ll come tell you in person
