    Northbound I-93 in NH just above Concord at the rest area I usually pull into to take a leak. They waved me through though. That was Wednesday morning.

    Yesterday in PA got lucky a couple times. Southbound I-81 below Wilkes-Barre in the rest area they had the creepers out. Then again at about the 160 or so on I-80 westbound in that rest area. Flashing lights off both times and sailed by. Nothing else further west even at the scalehouse in Knox going back the other way. No activity coming into Ohio either on 80.

    my theory is they don’t mess with toll roads as much or ever. I don’t think they pull people in for level 1’s on the Ohio turnpike, NY Thruway, Masspike, etc.

    We don’t get out too far mind you but SB Woodburn just south of Portland has been pulling everyone in with a few getting a prepass. But mainly just weighing truck. NB has been closed all week. Not too much different than any other day

    I managed to stick to strict night driving the past few days. NM, CO, TX Panhandle, and even KS were pretty normal. Of course last year I got pulled in during road check at the usually sleepy Boise City OK scale. Actual OHP inspectors there and not the normal OK Corporations Commission.
