How did everyone do with the DOT 72 hour week?

Did one weigh in motion and all the others were closed or already full when I hit them.

Saw one that was closed because a truck became disabled after running into the concrete barrier just off the scale. No idea how they would have managed that. They were putting it on the hook when I went by.

 

Had to go into Evanston WY, just the show registration, what you hauling ####...
This now makes 2 years 8 months with this truck, no inspections for me, had a co driver got inspected cause he was speeding...

Keeps you trucks clean/maintained n they leave you alone..
(watch now I said this I will be inspected....lol)

 

Honest to god I didn't even notice the DOT inspection all that much didn't get inspected, weighted nothin.

 

I play in the dirt too much to worry about keeping my truck clean. I wash it before I'm going to be under it doing maintenance or repairs. I'm not worried about the DOT. If they are under my truck poking around, I hope a big chunk of dirt falls in their eye when they knock it loose doing whatever it is they are doing under there....serves 'em right for harassing me.

 

I had a short week this week, but I did manage about 3500 miles.

Got pulled into the scales just south of KC, less than 130 miles from home. I got nailed for two trailer tires. They wernt OOS, but I did get a Safety violation on both of them. I am guilty on one of them, but the other wasnt really any where near to being tread bare. #!#$^%^%^ I did keep my mouth shut, and didnt make an issue out of it. They always win anyways.

I was out of driving hours, but the LEO let me roll on out since I wasnt over on my 14. Thanks bud, I guess...

Dang it, I was almost home!!!

 

Yes you will, ya just tempted Murphy...

 

I got weighed a few times. I did pass through a makeshift inspection station in WV on the turnpike where they had a few trucks being looked at but most of us were waved through.

 

I got hit in AZ- NO OOS so all's good!

 

I would actually like to get a sticker, but I aint gonna ask them..

 

The North bound scale house on Rt 95 in Maine was open.It was the first time I ever saw it open.
