How does the DOT determine who gets pulled over for a weigh?

I think they play rock, paper, scissors.

 

I seen a "heat map scanner" (thermal camera?) used by RAWZE to detect hubs that are overheated "more" than the other axles.

He said that heat map is a tell tale for mechanical issues (hub bearing). This alerts the officers to ask you to "come around the back" for a closer look a.k.a inspection

 

How does the d.o.t. know your weight on your b.o.l. if they dont invite you inside?

 

This needs to go to the lunch counter for some serious debate!

 

lunch counter?

 

If it just radom truck driving down the road they probably look at the tires tto see if the look low like they have a lot of weight on them. If your taking about in scale house, they have pre scales that can direct heavy truck to the scale and bypass the light weights. Then on the road they have Pre Pass and it weights the truck going down the road. Driver get a green or red light in cab to bypass scale or not.

 

That place where truckers gossip and dispel truths, half-truths, lies, and God-#### lies.

 

Im thinking the OP thinks the DOT gets the info from the elog when he sends in his loaded call.

 

Table of infinite wisdom is another name for it
I guess you haven't received your formal invitation yet..

Can usually be found in truck stop restaurants...
