    Mississippi was very busy on I10 yesterday as well as the scale just east of Houston.

    Tomorrow I head back towards home and thankfully it’ll be raining!

    Was pulled in at Reno then sent away because I just had a level 1 a week ago. While talking to DOT dude I hear 2 others next to my truck discussing how they were supposed to be pulling tankers and livestock trucks in

    Aside from the Illinois I57 scales yesterday.they were DOT heavy

    I've been to Michigan 2x this week Tuesday and today Lansing, Il. To Lansing Mi. And its like a ghost town, scales were closed all 4 times I went thru, And seen NO Troopers sitting in the median, On any random day you'd see 4-5 parked in the middle looking for
    something to do.

    That's PA all the time anymore. Small towns are hiring outside companies to do inspections for them kinda like hiring a service to do red light cameras. It was getting real bad there two years ago before I moved back to Florida. Stay safe up there and I hope you make it out of the dirty jerz alive lol.

    If they want to get rid of scrappy trucks on the road why are they announcing "blitz"? It should be surprise, cause all worn out Volvo are staying home this week
