    STATE highway patrol officers enforce federal DOT regulations. Those aren't federal police officers at the scales.

    From the OOIDA website:

    What happens for truckers in a government shutdown?

    If the government shuts down over a stalemate over appropriations negotiations, would truckers on the road even notice? The short answer is no.

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration was born out of the Federal Highway Administration, if you will, in 2000. The funding for FMCSA is provided by the Highway Trust Fund and is not subject to this particular standoff.

    Law enforcement, including commercial vehicle safety enforcement, is funded at the state level with some federal funding. That money is already in place and it would take a lengthy shutdown of the government to start having any significant impact on the funding of law enforcement.

    However, if the shutdown comes to pass and lingers into the Christmas holiday on Dec. 25, truckers might see less in the way of commercial vehicle inspections. However, that has everything to do with holiday work schedules and nothing to do with the shutdown.

    Nah, lets move it to the religious forum. No need to be worried if you do things right... WWJD?

    Just don't call the U S Marshall's on that Lumper at Winn Dixie. He is home chasing momma around the bedroom while on furlough from his job.

    Was driving along I-10 yesterday. Seen CBP enforcement vehicles more then any other day. Are they on free pasture due to government shut down?

    All the scales were closed yesterday from WY to OR. POE's closed as well. Even the ones that I thought never closed.

    It was like Christmas.
