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

The first liar doesn't have a chance! No matter the story, someone has gone faster, heavier, paid a bigger fine or beat up more lumpers!

 

Is that right?.....hmmmmm

I don't have specific experience with thermal cameras, but what you stated above is interesting (to me, anyways)

 

This is the one I was referring to.
Didn't get a chance to post it but here it is....

 

Somehow that system seems flawed if they follow it 100%. Trucks with good records always get bypassed, therefore they will always have a good record because they are never checked.

It's like, if you start with a good record, you can then do whatever you want because they will never check you again.

 

Well that's not quite true.

They said they do a 10% sample rate of trucks with pre-pass.

Also, violations occur outside the coop, and these will result in the "automatic" pass being reviewed, after they are added to the hot list

 

I got pulled in to the scales in Brownsville Tennessee, and I was directly behind another company truck . I got the "pull around" and he got to keep going. I asked the dot officer why I was chosen, he said it was set to random. I looked at the operator board, and sure enough, it was on random.

 

I got pulled around back to the inspection bay at the Cumberland MD scales years ago. I asked the trooper what made them want to inspect my truck. His answer:

"We had an open bay".....

 

I got hemmed up at the coop on 40 in West Memphis last year. When I go in first thing Lil feller ask me is when was your last inspection. After it was all over (level 3) I asked what made them pick me he said we just grab who ever lol

 

Take it all with:



A grain of salt.

 

Kentucky, I went in and got the bypass signal 10mph lane.

Doing 25 thru it will get you an inspection.

He asked ME why I was there. Lol.
I told him the truck couldn't drop lower than 7th gear. I was looked over, then told to scram, with a 'slow it down'. Yessah!
