    If you're never hauling anything agricultural, you can add the FL cabbage cops to your account. Not sure if it costs any extra or not, but I have worked for a glass hauling company and several dry van companies that never hauled anything they needed to see, so the companies had it set up to bypass them.

    I like when they ask what your hauling in a tanker, and you say you don’t know.
    They ask why and you show paperwork and the load name is something like Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl

    I tell them I can’t pronounce it, I thought it was supposed to be in English.
    They tell you to have a nice day.

    When Wylie took us over and shut down our Prepass, they would ask us the same thing hauling an empty glass double drop trailer with empty frames.

    Or the newest product from the glass plant...totally invisible stelth glass for the canopy on the next generation stelth fighter, and it's dang near impossible to see if you've had a load shift.
