    None of them have the manpower to stop everybody. Your odds of getting inspected might be double or triple an average week. Wash your truck, unclutter your dash, wear your safety vest, and sit upright.

    Why in #### would they care about a gay kid vest and what mouth breather is driving around in one?

    Haha, safety vest!

    Hey don't forget the pocket protector as well!

    I'm just going to cough alot as I roll through any weigh stations. Oh, and don't forget to stuff some TP up each nostril with the tips hanging out for added effect.

    Just make sure your lights are all working and your logs are in order and you won't have a problem.

    I'll probably get pulled in this year for the inspection, since it has been so many years since I have been pulled in.
    Hopefully I won't snag a trailer with a light out for the next few days.
     
    bentstrider83 and Rideandrepair Thank this.

    Demonstration of priorities. Safety is the magic word. But by all means, feel free to demonstrate different priorities. Not sure if you'll be able to see me from inside the inspection hut as I wave at you from the bypass lane.
