    They were working here, but can't stop the north bound trucks, because someone accidently ran over the open and closed sign, I breezed right on by. I came back through after midnight, and they closed, I assume the blitz was over at midnight.

    Saw a video this mornin of what looked like 30+ DOT lined up and others with trucks pulled over up around Texas Motor Speedway. I think he said it was Wed.

    I guess I got lucky, drove Dallas/Houston/Gadsden, AL/Dallas and while I did have to slow roll through scales in Alabama, I didn’t have to stop for anything.

    I made it another year with no inspection. Went through 2 rest area/weigh stations in NY on I-86. They were busy inspecting but just waved me through. The Youngstown weigh station on I-80 West apparently was running heavy yesterday but I stopped for the night at the flying J just before that so no problem.

    A little birdy told me so.
    Ya have to understand how things is here. there has been times in winter that a water truck has accidently lost it's load on the scales, this place is accident prone.

    Ive been all over Tx this week and only saw the southbound scale on 35E open with 6-8 DOT but full up with trucks.

    I get a bonus for every clean inspection, so I made everything was extra in order this week.
