    I guess they like the way my rig looks! LOL

    Wednesday I was pulled over at yard stick 99 on 49 in LA.

    Yesterday at a small scale entering MS on 49 and then again today on 278 in GA.

    The two today, saw that I had the (3) sticker on my windshield and sent me on my way.

    The last guy sped up next to my trailer, looked it and then fell back and turned his lights on. A little intimidating, to say the least!

    Much Success!

    You know things can go wrong with a unit before 3 months...

    Plus where I'm at you pass an insp. you get money. Cash good old US. dollars....
    So inspect me any time...

    The sticker has no value what so ever.

    I was inspected on a Tuesday for a level 1.

    On Friday of the same week, another Level 1.

    Funny, I've never been stopped anywhere but a scale house. My truck stays clean whenever it's not snowing, I don't have junque piled on my dash, and I remain shaven, wear a clean, collared shirt and a seat belt at all times.

    Oh, and I drive a class-8 truck pulling a dry van.

    All of those things may have something to do with it. DOT seems to be cracking down on duallies, straight trucks and sprinter vans lately.

    Nothing on my dash either. DOT picks on duallies because they do not have to crawl under them.
