What's the most trucker friendly state

I like Ohio....not!

 

I haven't had any problems in the States I've been too. I keep it professional when I talk to HP or DOT. This means to me by having my paperwork,CDL, and Medical Card ready for the trooper if I get pulled over or taking what the scalemaster requested when I go into a scalehouse.

 

I only drive in PA, so I guess PA. hah.

 

I really have to say it would be Hawaii.

Never a problem for me............

 

TT,

You will not get bashed by me. I agree on Florida and the officers have treated with respect there too; even the DOT was nice when I was driving a panel truck with table saws.

I like OK, MO, AZ, OH, FL. In my first days I accidentally went to far on scale in MO and the guy was cool about it. Also I called a officer buddy in AZ at the scale on I10 and he laughed it off and sent me on my way.

When I was driving otr, Tn was ok. Iowa let me go when i was hauling road salt to the state yard's. I was usually 200+ over on weight. Ka. wern't to bad.

 

Florida used to allow 500lbs over without a fine.

Commiefornia lots of the scales close at 5pm. Budget cuts.

New Mexico had an army of officers on I-10 a few weeks go flat out generating revenue! Heard about it on Sirius and on the CB. They were targeting O/Ops.

 

Excuses are like A------, everone has one, don't drive like an idot, then you don't have problems.

 

RT,

Heard about that one. My former boss did not get stopped thank goodness though the truck in the front and rear did. He is an o/o too. My rule of thumb for scales is be care during the first couple days and last week of the month. Usually, the officers are out hunting for people to pull over.

Nope not at the scales. Roving packs of viscious coyotes! Roadblocks
