I’ve been pulled over and had a DOT inspection with a brand new truck I picked up THAT DAY and had under 200 miles. It was a daycab with no trailer in San Antonio.
I’ve also been pulled over between Dallas and Arkansas and the DOT made me drive over 15 miles to a truck stop and did the inspection there. Did not have me scale it.

It’s only going to get worse in some of these states that are losing tax revenues from big corporations moving away to Tennessee and Texas. As their tax revenues go down they will do shakedowns at anything they think will make them a dollar.

The "saving grace" for wasting more of my time was, a day cab pulled up behind me while I was on the scale and was waiting to get on as he must have been either dropping or loading at that business... Instead of making him move so I could axle scale, the officer just said you can just go, "your under gross, I'm not gonna worry about the axle scaling"Siinman, Dave_in_AZ, cke and 4 others Thank this. -
Next time go to coughing and hacking and tell him you’re just getting over the flu…
