    I've noticed that here in Cali they don't really get too excited over it. Just business as usual really

    They lie. They tell us when the blitz is and then they do it early.

    They do it to get drivers to spend a ton of money at the truck stops buying stupid lights, sticky DOT tape and such...at least, that's what two guys I watched this past weekend were doing. One company, one independent O/O

    it is my contention
    Blitz Week is a bone to the general public
    West of Chicago I haven't ever seen much action

    Il. On 294 they had Dot in each toll plaza so if you didn't have prepass you are a sitting get duck.
    Ran into WI. Both scales were empty and closed.

    Got hauled in at the South Dakota POE from Wyoming. One of my tandem pins wasn't completely sticking out. $175.00, thank you driver very much.
