weigh station thread?

You know that just for saying that you'll get nailed one of these days,....

I was always on the lookout for the dot around Hayward,....But they always seemed to busy with the logging trucks to much attention to a liquor truck,...

 

Yeah, I know. I try as much as possible to be legal.
The Local DOT cop, Wiengarten, is usually pretty cool. He's the one who inspected the truck after we made right the listed violations. The DOT cop who is supposed to take over here when our local retires is from Park Falls and has a VERY, VERY nasty reputation.
The kind I have seen described as being from Nebraska, you know, the kind that thinks that all commercial trucks need to be shut down immediately.

 

he narrowed it down to like 2 states though....and I bet if you sat here over the course of several months, with multiple usernames, and told him...OH YOU MUST WORK IN OHIO...etc....for different states....he just told me he doesnt work in ohio. He's not the kind of guy to lie, so he probably just wont comment if you get the right one. When he doesnt comment you know why.

Not that I really care, just a funny thought i had.

Next time i get pulled over by the DOT in a state where all vehicles over 5 tons must weigh, I'm going to ask...Do you go to thetruckersreport.com forums?

haha. Not that it help anything, but it'd be funny as heck if it was actually him, wouldnt it?

ONLY problem is i dont break the law. Last time I actually got pulled into a weigh station, it was because I went into oregon without an oregon permit. Oops. That's not a ticketable violation unless you try to leave the state without it though. They just force you to get one and you're good. Conveniently that scale had a DOT office in it. That scalemaster was a dick though.

 

I used to deliver over that way as well,....Used to see him on the side with logging trucks all the time,.....He pulled me over once because he thought my trailer license plate light was out,...It wasn't it was just covered by some snow, hard to prevent that in the winter time,...

 

that is also one of the easiest scales to blow too, when i was driving local, i would blow by those everytime, i think more truckers blow those than actully go in...

My guess is that DB doesn't put the name of his department out for one reason only. His department probably has a prohibition of their employees "disclosing information," or "making statements."

Read that to mean that the administrators, (read that pencil pushing, paranoid geeks) does not want anyone who works for them, making any kind of public statement that they might not agree with... Many LE agencies have some kind of prohibition about this.

It goes back to having department administrators with big egos and little wee wees]


We all know what deisel bear looks like and where he works, just look at his picture here. he works in texas and drives a brown patrol car lol..sorry i just had to.

 

What' s this i heard, about a chicken coop has been making bobtails run across the scale ? And what's the possible reason?

 

Like Brickman said, I've have found a lot with bobtails. Suspended drivers, DUI's, unregistered, IFTA log books etc. Some big drug seizures have come out of bobtails as well. Just like empty flatbed driver's like to ###### about coming across as well. I'm not in a scale all the time, hardly ever, but when I am in it I hear the flatbed's complaining on the CB. I pull them off for an inspection. 9 out of 10 times I will find something with their log book that is jacked up. Then they really ######!

 

if a O/O buys a truck from Idaho, and flies up with his cab card and reg, and then puts all of that stuff on his truck. If he only registered his IRP, and IFTA in the south eastern states, can he jus get trip permits through all of the states he travels in order to get back home to Alabama? or is there a whole different process to bringing a new truck from a state you didn't register in?
