    My guess is most of the activity in down South and maybe the Northeast. In my travels this week around the upper Midwest, I haven't even seen any regular police activity.

    Saw five dot in a rest area here in MI this morning. Drove all the way to Valparaiso, IN and back today. Every one of the scales were closed.

    I haven't seen much action at all. I've been across I-10, up I-65 to I-85 to I-20, up I-95 and back this week.

    Last year on I-40 through AZ was absolute madness. cops in every wide spot and rest area.. every truck had to pull through the rest areas and they would randomly pull trucks over to inspect on the off ramps.. Some how went east and back west through it and didn't get pulled over

    Ram 80 95 83 and 70 this week in the north east did not see much Hubbard scale was packed but see that all the time.
    I ran a scale in MD today by mistake forgot it was there came around the corner and OPEN a truck had just slide in front of the cars and they all slowed way down so choose not to cut off the truck I had just passed.
    I will take a ticket any day before causing a wreak to get into a scale.

    South is dead. South and east end anyway Been running nc to fl and back all week so far activity has been slower than normal.

    Only the wildwood scale in fl was doing any business on nb side and that was yesterday. had 9 can haulers lined up at the barn. I was heavy and sat on the scale but let go. Sb side was deserted rolling them across.

    Other than that green lights and closed scales. Most of them look dead. Ga southbound on 95 was closed both ends today.

    No APU and no inverters. You can only use those that plug into the 12V receptacles; nothing hard wired.

    I think this 'blitz' was designed to get drivers to replace lights and do a thorough pretrip inspection at least once. There sure wasn't any blitzing anywhere I was.

    Of course, now that it's over, we'll all probably get blitzed. Wait. That doesn't sound right...
