Arizona I 40 is a popular roadside inspection area, Flagstaff east is covered with diesel pirates.

Every single one in the U.S. ? The problem is these guys move around and vary their hours. Here today........5 miles down the road 3 days from now.

Stay out of Texas if you don't want to be inspected they just pull you over any day any time....

Around here, anyplace there is a truck, and a place for the DOT to pull them over. They can be anywhere, seldom see them twice in the same spot, except the Chicken Coops.

Wish there were more and then the JUNK on the roads would be removed

First and only time I've seen that happen in in Maine. Doing DOT checks on the side of a twisty two lane road. There 'oughta be a law.

I'm not afraid of roadside checks.

Any road in NY that has enough space to pull a truck over, in combination with a bored state trooper. Oh wait, were you looking for fixed places? Well, any rest area/parking area in NY can become a weigh station. Watch for the yellow signs out with orange flags on top, 1/4 mile from the entrance. Some are hotter spots than others, but all are suspect. Route around at your own risk, NY has a little known overall length of 65', on state routes (doesn't technically apply to US Routes or Interstates but they've been known to ticket for it anyway).
Best tip for NY...run at night. They don't keep those things open much past 4:30pm, except in the summer months, and then they knock off at dusk for the most part. -
