    Over the past few days I've seen a lot of busses pulled over and undergoing a roadside inspection. DB are you all starting to focus on busses along with big trucks?

    I'm pretty sure that guy heard that they were "cheaper by the dozen!"

    Oregon had a sign before the eastbound scale I-84 at Cascade Locks directing all buses and shuttles into the scale. I usually see Estrella Blanca all over the roads going through there. They were MIA that day.

    The passenger carrier strickeforce inspection sweep. I've been stopping numerous ones all week. I've been on the highway getting them for moving violations, but then again I've always stopped them. The driver's are always a pleasure to deal with when they think they are exempt from inspection. Have placed quite a few out this week for out of service defects.

    Good. Greyhound needs full inspections on everything they own. Jefferson isn't far behind.

    Speaking of Greyhound, are those buses even governed at all???
    :biggrin_2554:

    The only time I ever passed a Greyhound is when they were broke down!

    Even when the speed limit was 55 mph in all states, they were going 70 and not one was ever pulled over for speeding.

    In all my years, I've never seen a passenger bus pulled over! I wonder why that is???

    Next he'll be pulling with a F250, then after that a F150, then a Ranger. He might quit after that! :)
