I used to run a daycab all over Chicagoland with a previous company. I absolutely NEVER had any problems with any law enforcement anywhere in the state. I always wondered if it was because my company was based in Illinois (I lived in Wisconsin at the time). Maybe I was right about that.
Not that I ever did anything crazy illegal, but I have been known to speed here or there or drive down the occasional non-truck route. And I noticed the trucks that did get pulled over, were almost always the nice shiny out of state trucks, like yours @JonJon78 . The billions of ratty old can haulers held together with tape and zip ties always seemed immune to all the truck laws.
Moral of the story, Illinois sucks.

I'm not kidding you...... Just yesterday, I went to pick up my load & it wasn't ready. Notified my supervisor/dispatcher & my fleet manager of that & that my clock was running. The fleet manager texted back and said for me to stop my clock until the load was ready.
WHAT!?!?!?
I advised the FM that there is no way to stop the 14 hr clock & that the 11 hr clock doesn't run unless you drive. Therefore, since I am sitting & waiting... I am not driving.... so the 11 is not running. (per se)
About 20 minutes later, the FM texts me back & said "I read in HOS changes you could stop for 2 hrs but I cant remember the process and (the regional manager) didn't know either".
I'm thinking O-M-G!
Neither the fleet mgr & the regional mgr knows if a driver can stop his clock &/or when/how????
Sheesh.
