I always post that they are closed when open and open when closed.
Then list 100s of open spots at capacity stops.
Just because. -
tscottme Thanks this.

I use it when determining where I will stop for the night, and if that place is a dump. Often you’ll find small out of the way places that are great that you’d never find otherwise. I’ll also check the scales on certain routes when there’s more than one way to the destination. The small pull-out “scales” are only open around here when they want to do inspections on everyone who comes by, and I like to avoid he 45 minute friendly courtesy check when I can. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

I once was caught fair and square by NY State near Binghampton in a random opened inspection in the rest area. I did not complain or whine. They had me dead to rights. Something about 250 in fines and CSA etc I paid it instantly and moved on down the road with my life once that OOS sticker came off the windshiled in front of my steering wheel.
Hunts Point, DOT used to inspect outbounds in the street outside the fence. Used to be you were parked in that one side fence where some of us waited to dock in the morning and the DOT would be opposite in the street inspecting groups of 4 to 6 trucks at a time.
Ive been in hunts point all my life and even today I am convinced it's not a very good place. You can lose alot of money if you don't watch it with those greedy mutts. -
After reading through all of this I wonder how I survived for the past 40 years????

I wonder how many trial attorneys use threads like this where supposedly "professional" drivers brag about ducking with an app rolling down the road.
IMHO if that person is caught it should be a lifetime ban on any class of license. -
We are not too far away from the FMCSA mandating that a video camera being placed on the dash pointing at all commercial drivers while driving because despite regulation forbidding electronic communication device holding and manipulation, drivers are still doing it illegally every day. So, drivers, put your phone down while driving!x1Heavy Thanks this. -
A while back Trucker Path was advocating 16 hours per day total over the 14 we now have. They said the 2 additional hours would help drivers who get held up at grocery warehouses and such. What a crock. I immediately removed the app from my phone.
