    I run in and out of Co weekly and never have a problem with my prepass, I usually get a green light ( I have the highest safety rating one can have) but a few weeks ago I got 3 red lights in a row (n/b monument, s/b monument than s/b raton) all with in 2 days so I called prepass and gave them my info and they looked up my acct and said I was just getting lucky and hitting the randoms. When I got in to Wy I'm always going in thru one of the smaller houses with out a prepass so can't help much on that end. If you call prepass and give them your info they can be very helpful, there is also a way to set up an online acct so you can look and see why you got a red light.

    Yeah that really pisses me off when those jack donkeys like to cut you off just before the prepass sensors. Although I usually laugh cause they normally get pulled in and I get a green and roll right by them and let them know that I think they are #1.

    Hmmm... my carrier is plated in MO (go figure!) and I never seem to have a problem in WY or CO. I usually get pulled in once a year to check my cab card and IFTA tax receipt in CO. Same when I do something like pull through Alpine or Kemmerer in WY.

    Always get pulled in to weigh when some hotshot passes me and pulls into the lane just before the sensors.

    Once you get that patch it never comes off. They make you take the American flag off, but the combat patch remains for the rest of your service. Really adds to the look of the uniform. Esp when one of the dumbshites that outranks you doesn't have one and when they get stupid you keep looking at their right shoulder and they seem to squirm a bit..:biggrin_25522:

    Yeah, I understand your concern. Caution is always appropriate.


    Hmmm, sharp, tack, Now I KNOW I can do something with this. I just have to think about it a bit. After all, I'm not quite as sharp as a tack. More like an old, rusty, bent nail.:biggrin_25519:

    I have always wondered why I never get the green light in NC. Obviously I am not alone, for I never see anyone else get it either, with the exception of FedEx.
