Some do, some don't. Some treat a placarded truck with more respect, others treat it the same as any other truck. Net result: placarded truck gets more respect.
Any states to avoid during DOT week?

so what new regulation have they come up with that requires a safety vest??
only people I knew who cared were some shippers and receivers.
mine stayed with the hard hat and safety goggles.TheLoadOut and kylefitzy Thank this. -
I wear my vest when required and that’s it. The only exception is if I’m moving an escorted oversize load at night, then I have a clean new vest on at all times, and I require my escorts to do the same. Just never know if we might have to jump out in the middle of the road to clear an obstacle, tight maneuver, ect.TheLoadOut, Numb and bzinger Thank this. -

Driving with a Sarah Palin blow up doll wearing a safety vest sitting next to me in the passenger seat has been the best way to avoid inspections.
Inspectors either giving me thumbs up while passing me thru or mouths dropped in too much shock to do anything.GreenPete359, Hammer166, TheLoadOut and 1 other person Thank this. -

I go to Michigan quite a bit, haven't noticed anything unusual about the roads. Worst stretch of highway I've seen lately is in Louisiana, on i20 over by Shreveport.
