    Who's going to bother calling about a seal change? Unplugging the ELD was the big red flag lol.

    They had to have been tipped off. Not once have I had my load searched during an inspection. Open the doors and look, yes. Searched? No.

    Look for the truck and trailer to come up on the next Indiana state auction.

    You’d be surprised. Plus they can pull up all the load information if necessary. Where are you picked up, where are your load is heading,etc...
    No, they weren’t tipped off. All it took was for the ELD to be unplugged. The fact that the truck came out of California certainly didn’t help things either.

    How, exactly would they have access to the load information? Most times even the broker that I booked my load through doesn't know the details lol.

    All it takes is not having an ELD to show the guy. That was the only thing that led to all the other inquiries. The world is full of idiots. And many of those seek out endeavors that requires only minimal care, and they can’t even manage that.

    If your truck has a DOT/MC number-they can look it up,including the truck’s registration,license info,etc. Don’t let them fool you for a minute. Sometimes they want to see if you’re gonna BS them.
    The last two Level 2 inspections I had(one each by PA State Police and KS Highway Patrol) they were able to pull up my load info including point of origin,destination,any intermediate stops and load contents.

    I gotta call BS on that unless you were hauling tactical warheads or weapons grade plutonium or some such. Yes, they have intent access to the carrier information, last inspections for given truck (trailer) but that's about the extent. They fill out the load detail information for the inspection report off of the bills you gave them.

    Think about all the brokered loads. Even if the shipper "instantly uploaded the information somewhere" (which DOES NOT HAPPEN) it would never get assigned to the trailer in question. The port readers and image scanners read truck numbers, not trailer numbers.

    The Shipper or broker doesn’t upload the load info(unless it’s possibly items being sent by government contract)the CARRIER hauling the load typically does as they’re the ones who have to answer for it if there are any irregularities.

    I was going down the ITR in early july and I stopped at I forget one plaza and they had 4 Tahoes and 2 K9’s searching a car and a guy in cuffs. That road has a lot of drug traffickers and probably human since Toledo is known for that.
