    Ny and pa is running some kind of inspection blitz this week and practically every hole in the wall rest area inspection area is opened this week.
    Every one from up state ny thru pa was open on wensday when I headed south down 81.
    I just blew by each one and didn't pay any attention and no one came out after me.... But then again I had my dually pulling my fifthwheel camper headed for fl lol

    He can sign for the load if he wants to. He's OOS. An OOS truck can be towed to a repair facility to be fixed. An OOS driver can be towed or have another driver operate the truck for him. You can still be "on duty NOT driving" while OOS...you just cannot DRIVE the truck if you or the truck are OOS.

    exactly like pedigreed said, you cannot drive if you don't have hours available, you can however be on duty. get towed get loaded take your 10 and and you are then legal to drive 100% by the book.

    OP how'd you make out and how much did it cost? I'm from that area and every NYS thruway exit is subject to inspections. Pay your toll...and now pay some more money to Mr. DOT. I run the thruway 4 days a week and the ratio of trucks getting inspected to cars being pulled over is 10:1. It's a joke but you can get more $$ from a truck than a car to help support nyc
     
    TallJoe and austinmike Thank this.
