    Get a prepass. ~$15/month with ooida membership and even as a brand new carrier you'll bypass 95% of the time.

    Exceptions: California will pull you in every time until your iss score drops below 75.

    I am running new authority for almost a year and have been stopped only 2 times without a reason and another 2 times in Colorado because I have sticker showing not 8 but 7 digits of my VIN. But I don't run California.

    prepass is good if you have good rating i guess, previous company i was with had high rating and was getting pulled in most of the time. Its still a good thing to have.
