When does the 72 hours start?

Thanks again Roadmedic-apprechiate and will pass on this info. I guess cuz it's hubby's first he wants to be prepared. With luck his 34 hr reset may just coinside with this 72hr blitz or part of it.

I think you should suggest checking the police logs to Dieselbear and see what his response is!!

 

He is too honest.

Besides, he is off today.

 

Funny enough last year I only saw 1 coop open all 3 days.

 

I can claim the same.

However, it had something to do with the route I took and the time I crossed the NM Port of Entry.

 

I heard that! I think this year is gonna be a go get em boys year since every state is pretty much bankrupt. I'll be taking the very scenic tours this year for 3 days anyway.

 

I volunteer a time or two a year if they don't happen to pull me in randomly. I like to keep a fairly current sticker on my truck whenever it's possible.

Nothing...It's the same inspection that they always do, There's just a more concentrated effort for these three days a year.

It's really no big deal if you have your act together.

I doubt seriously if they'll be looking much harder at things than they usually do.

Interstingly enough, I've never been inspected during the "blitz" I usually get pulled in when I'm least expecting it.

 

Outerspacehillbilly brings up a good point: states are pretty strapped for funds right now or is this a coordinated State/Fed effort? (LOL like those two agencies could ever coordinate anything!) Just seems like a waste since they do routine inspections anyways but I guess this is a 'scare' tactic to get some outfits up to speed??

 

It is the annual nationwide sting. It is ran by the state officers.

I guess if they find it profitable, maybe they will return next week.

 

I'll ask for a inspection every year in the spring (most of the time in April) to get a new sticker for the truck and trailer, that way I dont have to give 50 bucks to some truck stop funky mechanic for a periodic inspection. The state does it for free.
