    Yeah I just found some info on that. Might see if my company would look into it. I know they're sticklers from hell and it's a nuisance getting stopped there all the time as much as we run through.

    Be GLAD you didn't piss off the shipper, "Oh, THAT #######? Yeah, he loaded YESTERDAY."

    I run Oregon every week, when I've been inspected and they ask for receits, I never give them to them, none of there business in my opinion. They have even asked for meal receits. They can use there camara system.

    Just as you're creeping across the scales , cough twice, pretend to sneeze, and stick your finger way up your nose.
    No way they want you in the scale house, let alone touching their pen.
    I'm serious
    I do it all the time.

    OR is one of those good ones to avoid unless you're a local guy who they see all the time. They like to play games and be difficult with people passing through. Correct me if I'm wrong but they don't even tax their fuel and participate in IFTA they way the rest of the continental US and most of Canada does. They make you buy their silly trip permits or pay extra for a permanent cab card. So they think they're special snowflakes there. WA is almost like a normal state by comparison except for not recognizing Pre-Pass.

    2 states I will never goto as an O/O
    Washington and Oregon. The added BS doesn't justify my effort to work there.

    Called the shipper? I guess the ol' "I went into the sleeper for 8 hours at the shipper because the load wasn't ready then hooked to the trailer in the morning" wouldn't work with them.
