Free Lunch At......the Scalehouse!?
Topic 27867 | Page 1
I just saw this on FB. Times like these do bring out the best and unfortunately sometimes the worst in people.
If you are a truck driver, and are in the city limits of Corbin (exit 25) we will help you get food. Call us at our non-emergency number 606-528-1122 and an officer will be happy to assist you. Thank you for delivering goods to our country! Stay safe!
Sounds like a trap or some type of DOT sting operation to me. There is no such thing as a "Free Lunch."
More likely a free sandwich while we perform a Level I, II, or III Inspection while you wait.
Sorry I have a conspiracy theory mindset.
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

I'm trying to break free from my conspiracy theory mindset.
But, I will say that the new found appreciation for truckers has made me even more motivated to pursue this career.

My problem with conspiracy theories is that I find it difficult to believe that enough politicians/bureaucrats have the IQs and the ability to keep quiet to pull one off.
I just stay apprehensive at scale houses.
