DOT.

I made 2 trips up there and they were nowhere to be seen thankfully. I'm pretty sure only one of my trips was close to legal!

 

I delivered near buffalo ny the other day and went home....there were so many dot cops and troopers running around I thought I was back in California....

 

Madison was so full today that they shut the scale down right before I came through.
When I passed westbound at about 7am they already had a bunch of trucks out back with there hoods up, mostly flatbeds and hot shots.

 

I've been sleeping in the rest stops on the 20, east and west, for years.. I avoid truckstops hate them, and have never been even looked at by the dot or cops??

 

I've only ever heard of them bothering car haulers and over size - both of which I used to do. That said, I've never been bothered in a rest area on the 20, but I know it's happened.

I'm just running back and forth between Hfx and Moncton these days, so I don't know if it still goes on or not.

...... and speaking of that, the east bound Fort Lawrence scale house is in full 24 / 7 blitz mode. I run by it west bound then thru it east bound between 11pm and 2 am nightly. They were full tilt last night in the rain and cold.

 

Everything as usual in Indiana and Chicago, saw maybe five STs the whole day. Guess the Beloit scale was open in Wisconsin. But I didn't see since I didn't feel like running the interstate...

In the Illinois truck enforcement pull off there were two trucks, a parked flatbed and a car hauler who was off loading cars.. weird.
