    I remember the Cortez POE well. Once I had some mud obscuring one number on my front plate and they made me stop and wipe it off. Understandable, I guess, but also anal.

    Is that old truckstop still there by the POE? I don't remember the name of it, but that old place, if it still exists, actually had bunk rooms upstairs you could use as late as 2002. I don't know of any other place that had/has bunk rooms. Maybe Jubitz did or still does?

    The truck stop in Lusk? Outpost Truck Stop? That's where I stopped before "bypassing" the POE.

    The old truck stop by the Cortez POE has been shut down for several years now. Too bad. I kinda liked stopping there once in a while.

    Okay, so, I was just going to ask about this but I see there's already a Port of Entry thread.

    If the sign says "All trucks must stop" but then it also has prepass... what's going on? This happened to me in both Wyoming and Utah and I went in both times. Roehl's driver's manual says to always go in to the Wyoming ones even if prepass clears you. Doesn't say about Utah so maybe I didn't have to go in?

    Even Roehl wasn't sure about it. They left a voicemail a while back after several of us got warnings/tickets for bypassing them. The voicemail said to stop even if we had a green light. The seasoned drivers quickly informed management it wasn't the case. If you get the green light, go on by. If it doesn't have prepass, pull in. When you do stop in, ask them to explain to you when you have to stop and when you can go by. For instance, you'll usually see a sign saying that all commercial vehicles have to stop at the port of entry. If you're coming the other way, there might be a sign telling you what exit the port of entry is at, but not actually directing you to exit.

    Roehl is confused. Green means go, red means stop. Pretty straight forward.
