    You guys should try running a farm truck. On one load from Alturas, CA to Calgary, AB, I got pulled into 5 ports for inspection...... Renamed the company to remove the word "farm" from the door, and since we can run like normal.

    Although we got an inspection at Sage Junction (I15) last Friday, and got the sticker to prove it. Inspector asked the driver if we didn't used to drive an International? That was three years ago. I'm impressed with that guy's memory.....

    They have a spot on 231 S near Midland City. They use it often. Where one least expects it

    They are also famous for setting up in the rest area/welcome center on I 10 at the Florida line.

    That’s absurd, request a supervisor in that instance if they are refusing to give you an inspection report. I’m also fixing to sue the state of Wyoming over that nonsense. Any time they flag you in and check paperwork that’s an inspection and they are required by federal law to give you an inspection report for it

    Thats good to know. I was wondering if we had any legal pull on our side to get the paperwork.

    I can’t find anything about a “law” saying you have to receive an inspection report. If anyone has a link please post it. All I can find are the rules regarding submitting a report to your carrier.

    There is no law. They are the law. Take the clean inspection and go, shakes head. REALLY?
