I need to know how to initiate inspections

very simple, go across the scale, STOP, look at Mr. DOT, Flip him off, There you go, Inspections on there way. Good Luck

 

Oh yeah man.....pay attention to rest areas when you run through there. You'll see the DOT ruining days. I got an inspection at the Girard scale, off 80. They found an air leak. Wrote me up for it. Got a $100 ticket in the mail some weeks later for that air leak. Ohio is not to be played with.

 

Okay, 1st welcome aboard, and I apologize for the wise axxes here, it's a legitimate question. 2nd, I do agree, NEVER volunteer at a weigh station, if an inspection is in order, go to a service center, and they can perform a DOT inspection, and will put a sticker on the door saying it passed. For the record, DON'T pixx off a LEO, they have a rough enough job without you giving them the finger.

 

Still? 30 years ago, I ran a peddle run in Ohio, and they had PUCO officers up and down the green stamp. I never went into an Ohio rest area.

 

I've had 6 random inspections in Ohio in the six years I have been driving, four of them at rest areas.

 

Oh yeah.....the only time an Ohio rest area is safe is Friday evening til Monday morning. Very rare I go into an Ohio rest area. It's been at 5 years since the last time, and I was in and out

 

Ohio getting sneaky with their new DOT vehicles.

 

These MOFO lmao!!!

 

####!! What about truck stops in Ohio? I've passed through Ohio but I don't remember staying there, I thought California was the one to watch out for... Hopefully I finish this career without any.

 

Pull on the scale and set your brakes. They'll inspect ya.
