Rules for facilty to be placed out of service at?

We had a dude put OOS in the great state of IL, they wouldn't let him stay at the scale, or drive the truck. So our choices were call a cab or get a tow truck. Then they told us they didn't really want the truck there either. I wish I would have gotten that call because I would have responded with "Guess you shouldn't have put him OOS"+

 

Several years ago Florida DOT caught me out in the boondocks slipping out of the state over-loaded. Officer told me to catch up on my logbook, then give it to him, and I had to tell him I did not even have one in the truck.Now this was some years ago.He said if I could not produce something I was OOS. I said OK, put me to bed, but I do not feel safe out here in the woods. He then escorted me to a country fuel stop, and away he went. Better than being out in the swamp with nothing to do.

 

You have a valid point. However, there states (MN) for example, that allow officers to shut you down at their descretion. If he/she thinks you are too tired to drive, down you go legal or not.

 

Thats why if im running out of hours, i just try to put myself oos where there are facilities.
