    Many times here in Ohio, my tanks are NON haz, but I guess they don't know that. I get pulled in on certain stretches... like clockwork. Prepass and all.

    It's in that prepass brochure thing posted a few minutes before me. But that's what landstars hazmat dept says as well.

    Ah... I couldn't read it too good; Ohio was blurry. I get pulled in at random, bothers me not; is what it is. Glad I'm not OTR anymore, LoL~!

    What do you mean huh?You see bypass then do just that.I drove for a company that didn't have preepass but I still got bypass many times.I don't ask questions I go with it.Never got ticketed for it.If the sign isn't lit up and I see cop cars parked or semis getting weighed then I'd stop.

    See what happens when you ask a question to a bunch of drivers? Look how many different answers you get :banghead::banghead::banghead:

    Yeah. It's weird that only 2 states make you pull in with hazmat regardless of prepass. I would have thought more of them would.

    Your last sentence is the catch all. Just saying. The cost of a chase is probably outrageous, not counting the dings on the record~!
