I got stopped for an inspection this morning or at least i think i did.. Right before going into the west bound side of the Hampton Roads Tunnel the light flashes for all trucks stop for inspection which was two other trucks that was in front of me... we stop and the first truck was there for like ten mins and i guess had an issue or something.. once he pulled off she waved us two to come on by..

Every year I seem to be on vacation during that revenue blitz, sorry I don't have time for that nonsense. I just don't feel like participating in it.

Missed it by that much! Just outside Ft. Worth, TX, the lights on the sign were flashing and trucks were pulling in, but just before I got up to the sign it stopped flashing. They already had a line of trucks with no more room.
Just lucky I guess... must be all that clean livin'. I know it's clean livin' because otherwise I'd be having more fun.

Some states seem to be more aggressive than others. Some start their blitz a week or two earlier than the national check. Others have gone beyond the first week in June. The best thing is to keep all your paperwork up and make sure your truck will pass inspection.

Well since I started this thread I guess it's appropriate I got a level 1 insp. today on Rte 322 in Pa.
