    Up to Sandpoint and that route down to Missoula gets a fair amount of auto traffic. Used to load at the mills around the area, was my preferred route south. Mostly flat, a few small pulls. Was always heavy. They did a good job of keeping the roads clear. Lot of construction and repairs over the last year.

    You must have a sketchy look about you. Maybe it’s the company. You have lumber on when that happens?

    No i never haul lumber really. One time I was empty and got inspected. Other time was loaded out of plains. Got pulled over, loaded with rocks. Been pulled over in missoula by that douche that sits outside exit 96 when i was empty. Now i take the frontage road. The idaho dot set up on 200 just outside east hope and like to give inspections as well. They work out of the post falls scale house. I am running these routes everyday is my problem. The guy in plains knows me by name. Every single one of them tells me its random . but i dont believe it. Not sure how i would look sketchy. i just drive and they pull me over for no reason. My buddy i run with gets harrassed too.. Kalispell scale they were working hard last year . not so much this year. Just annoying as hell , they have people pulled over everyday , but ive learned the spots they like to roam around and do my best to stay away.

    Do see a lot of them around the area. Maybe they see all the ag stuff and let me be.

    New Mexico seems to be my place. Stopped by the same guy 3 times in 8 weeks. Lately it’s been Utah.
