That is true they are doing it any TA or Petro with a shop is doing inspections.
Got to roll over two mobil scales in PA yesterday, but didn't get pulled in. Several others were waiting. The "closed" sign went up just as I put on my turn signal to enter a scale house in Ohio, but everything else was closed. I have had one Level 1 and that was in my first month of driving. It was in KY and I got an OOS for a strap not being tight enough. Never mind the other was crushing a box and I had under compensated. As the saying goes, poop happens. Have learned a lot since then.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Wife got lucky, HOME TIME... Not that I think she had anything to worry about. But hey, less stress this way.
I didn't notice any more DOT activity than usual. Drove over 1400 miles in 10 states. I crossed only one scale that was open, entering South Dakota northbound in I-29, and had to pull around back for a level 3 check, no violations.
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.
Untouched. Spent my time during the blitz in CA, AZ, NM, and TX. Had a nice collected shirt on to make me look professional. I think I found the secret!
Did not have an issue. Zero inspections. Hardly even noticed any DOT at all.

Not yet. Luckily for me, I just had my truck checked out at the shop last week, got new drives, and I'm pulling a trailer so new all the hardware is still shiny and hasn't even begun to get that galvanized patina to it.
All of which probably means I'll get pulled into every coop between Seattle and Minooka.
