2011; 72hr nationwide check

But you only need a 34

I'm in Nuevo Laredo taking my 34 hour restart preparing to go south of town to the Mexican super coop and monitor the party there.

Tomorrow, pull off weigh station close to Cienega de Flores NL

 

I have been lucky the last 4 years all of the scales and rest stops have been full and they wave me on. And this week I am getting a ton of work done to the truck so I will be down for the week but back out on friday. Still I hope most of you will pass and not be like the mexican trucks we all cuss out for being junk.

 

I see know more dot out today than i do any other day. Came out of Vt and off the 5 areas they use that i past all where closed and MA was open but they allways are during the 72 hour blitz. In the last few years there out so much any way the 72 hour thing is no diffrent than any other day IMO.

 

I'm takin a 72 hour because I like hanging out in Laredo and this is a good week to do just that

 

US301 in MD and VA were both open today. US301 NB in MD had someone pulled around back doing a L1.

 

Hmmm... Most should aspire to be like the Mexican trucks you claim are junk. Lower out of service rate for equipment and drivers than our trucks. They're doing something right

 

Hot as hell down here today, but the border crossing is fast for a change. Texas DPS had 9 busses lined up for inspection in the inspection bay at Bridge #2 about 1300 this afternoon when I came across to do some shopping.

 

I had to pull thru every scale I passed today(if it was open), didn't get one green light...

 

If there is no sign to tell me open or closed then it is closed. If they can't have their equipment properly maintained that's their problem not mine. Can't get you for blowing the scale if there ain't no sign saying open!

 

Just talk to a buddy, AZ rest area before Flag wide open with at least 25 DOT in both sides. All is still quite here in the T/A
