    How do these guys do it?
    I mean I was in SD, crossed into WY port of entry and leo entered my truck info in computer. Right there and then they know where and when I was. So at next weigh station they can check logs and determine if theyre at fault. How do these guys cheat system and get away with it?

    If your truck is being tracked with GPS, and you're on paper, you better pray your logs aren't forged. Because they can plug in and see where you have been. How many miles you ran between there and here etc. if no GPS, two log books usually takes care of any descreptancies.

    If your truck is being tracked using a global positioning device and an officer plugs into the computer on board, he can see where you have been, how many miles you drive etc. so when he looks at your paper logs and compares them to the output from said device, if any discrepancies are apparent, that officer will write you ticket for s log violation.
