I saw one 2mo ago at the scale house just south of Falfurious, Tx. He waved me through as they had atleast 6 other trucks in there.
I didn't know USDOT worked state scales

He looks just like any other dot there.
We also have a federal city cop here, he just writes seatbelt and vehicle violations, he doesn't care if you blow by him doing a hundred miles an hour as long as you have mudflaps on your pickup and your seatbelt on. We call them the click it or ticket cops.mhyn Thanks this. -
I don’t feel like this is worthy of its own thread but also relevant..
Apparently in Ohio on top of the standard state police, motor carrier enforcement police, truck certified sheriffs/municipal police, the Public Utilities Commission also has authority to perform truck enforcement??? Their cruisers say something like “Hazmat Enforcement” on the back but I saw one with a nonplacarded dry box pulled over a few weeks ago doing an inspection and had to double take. Seems like yet another avenue of revenue generation for the state -

Montana also has tax agents that will be at the scales every now and again dipping tanks for dyed fuel.

Butttt ...super nice guy and gave me a clean inspection after I adjusted up a trailer brake a couple clicks .starmac Thanks this. -
