    Well if the POE is full your not required to stop that is one reason to keep on trucking, I've done it on 3 occasions not on purpose just not really focused and just missed the turn in, waited for the Highway patrol to chase me lights lit up and all, but no nothing so I guess I just happened to run by when they were not looking at their CCTV screens or just busy eating do-nuts.

    The same reason to care about anything—to learn, to understand, to be aware. Now I know about Drivewyze and a few other things.

    my trucking school was fairly good. But, they didn’t manage to teach us everything I could ever know about trucking.

    Why did you post a reply if you don’t care?

    Wilsonville Oregon southbound scale likes to shut off the transponder to see which truckers are paying attention. While waiting my turn to be weighed, I saw three trucks drive by on the freeway riding their brakes as if that was going to help lol, tooo late suckers!
