Upcoming dot inspection blitz

It's known as foreplay.

 

Anybody see anything yet?

I've seen nothing.

 

Has anyone been tagged about the off road lighting?

 

yea, I-4 and 60 along with every road in between been covered with fhp Tahoe's between Seffner and Plant City FL.

 

Never been sent across the scale MT at SB Woodburn. Trucks lined up out the entrance.

Other than that I’ve seen nothing

 

Rates definitely increased this week, I was hang out in Phoenix but the rates were to good to pass .

 

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota last 2 days i havent seen a single truck being inspected at any scales... Been on 94 90 35 and 80. Just cam across 90 to rapid city. Only scale i seen open was Minnesota on 94 and they just weighing and letting everyone go threw thre. South Dakota no scales open.

 

Arizona was going hot and heavy today. They set up in the “closed rest area” west of Flagstaff. I got picked. I was there for an hour twenty. My truck in nearly new and he couldn’t find anything. He gave me one violation which was complete BS. No current record of duty status. We run AOBRDs and I did everything I was supposed to. He said since my truck was a 2019 I HAD to have an ELD unless I could tell him when the company originally started using this AOBRD device. He said it had to have been in service prior to Dec 2017 to be legal. My company is grandfathered until December. I think he just made that up. Our safety department had never had a driver dinged for that and they were going to contact DOT to figure it out. No out of service and I rolled on to Farmington. That’s what I get for “doing a favor” and working on my day off!!

 

Nothing from Green Bay to Memphis or Memphis to Dallas.

Only seen two scales open the entire trip

 

Illinois I 57 330 mm. Scales both north and southbound were loaded with DOT.
They seemed to be picking on tankers
Each side the back lots were full of trucks and the majority seemed to be tankers. I got the red light to pull in both times but they just ran me thru the bypass lane
