Truck Check Stations

It's just like a scale house only without a scale, thy will see someone thy want to inspect a little closer and flag them over for a closer look.

 

when those white vans are in there. just keep it hammered down and blow the air horn. try to make it down to the TA in council bluffs

 

Some of those check stations we'll just want to check your paperwork and send you on your way. The Port of Entry in Wyoming is like that. The scale house in Colorado will do the same thing. No big deal

 

i asked the lady in that co scale house on 70 outside of denver once. if i could park off to the side and go into the reefer shop behind the scale. i just wanted my picture taken with a big bag of reefer.

 

They're looking for the farmers hauling grain to town with old Volvos that have all sorts of extra parts hanging down.

 

yellow equals blue in SD. just blow the air horn and say fit.

 

In Pennsylvania and New York they set you at random spots. You drive through those types and they will select you randomly. I saw one in New York in which they directed a truck to park in one of those rest area spots they block off. If they felt like inspecton you they'll direct you to park in a designated spot when you roll through. Some places target certain drivers or companies more based on saftey score or whatever criteria. The more traditional weigh station in West Memphis will always have a lot of container drivers parked, seeing the abundance of rail yards in Memphis, and a lot of chassis are pretty crappy equipment...fairly frequent violations

 

Yup pa ny love rest areas and don't try and run it they usually have a chaser close by
