72 Hour DOT this week...... HOW BAD IS IT???

Saw a few extra inspections going on in the coops in VA off I-95 today but nothing crazy. I don't even know if NC was participating and saw nothing out of the ordinary except more State Trooper SUV 's out and about.

 

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, just like any other day....

 

Not one green light in 3 days, had to go thru every scale, no issues...Normally I get 1 red light out of 10 scales...

 

Starting from Cheyenne at 0001 Tuesday to here south of Chattanooga at 1600 today.

Ive been Green lighted or closed scale at every station but on NE-2 in Nebraska, and I24 in Kentucky (norpass, so no light, crossed scale)

I did see quite a few more LEO vehicles than usual at all the scales, even the closed ones... maybe the heat wave scaled things back?

 

Anyone know about the DOT in Montana? I want to know if I should be worried.

 

well considering the Blitz ends in 3 hours i dont think you have much to worry about. And the only dealing with them that i've had is at the POE's and they're always cool

Completely spaced on the time its been a busy couple of days. Looks like I blew through this one without hassle.

 

Yes, now they'll just be their regular ####### selves.



I'm just bitter because the only CS violations I've ever received were both written in Montana. Other than that, they're fine.

 

Seems a lot of people took your advice. I delivered in Hilmar, CA on wednesday. Seemed to be a lot more trucks on the 165 and 152 then normal. Probably more then a coincidence that that's how you skip the Santa Nella scales.

 

NC DMV Enforcement prefers to hound local trucks - dump trucks in particular. Doesn't mean they weren't participating, but they're more likely to hang out around the rock quarries.
