Just got home from 4 days out.
Ran a 3 state area, I guess about 1500 miles.
Passed lots of scales, most were closed or just a scalemaster, no troopers.
Didn't get pulled in any of them, bypassed as usual.
Didn't see any scales with any action at all.
Busiest I saw was exit 23 southbound on I-81 in TN. This is a training facility I've heard. Always busy.
Lots of trucks out back but scale closed and bypassing everyone, middle of the day on Wednesday.
DOT blitz, huh?

I did MI-GA-SC-PA-MI. Everywhere was business as usual, but lots of inspections at rest areas in WV and PA.
Also in Wixom, MI, near my yard, troopers were roaming streets and taking trucks to an inspection area set up at a carpool lot.Flat Earth Trucker, hope not dumb twucker, Walk Among Us and 2 others Thank this. -
Wednesday i80 scale in Iowa west of Des Moines had a 7-8 DOT and trooper cars in it, looked like they had a few trucks in back getting inspection. Scale west of Omaha had trucks lined up all the way down to interstate. Luckily I got green light on both. Also had some kind of camera set up by Hastings Ne scenic overpass on westbound side. Looked like they were pulling guys over left and right.
Walk Among Us and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
I think it was the Collinsville, IL scale SB I-55 I saw a couple of trucks parked on the ramp getting their tires changed today.

The past 5 or 6 years the blitz has been a show tune with nothing much to show for it.
But even before that, I seldom got pulled in during that time. -
I ran Denver to So Cal to Phoenix. All scales I passed were either closed or just weighing. I didn’t see any of them doing inspections.
D.Tibbitt Thanks this.
