It passed, and since I was already pulled over he did a level two. I had a light out at that time though so I didn't pass that.

I was talking to a driver that got inspected a few days ago in MD, and he over heard two DOT guys talking to one another about how they generated 39,000.00 so far that day. He said the way the conversation sounded it was almost like they had a competition going.

The 70 east bound scale has a terrible reputation.

One thing that always boggles my mind in MD is why they put me on the scale when I'm empty. My blood boils when they do that, especially when they let me sit there while they run my numbers. F**kin power trippers.

Around Holliday, (Just a few miles west of Wichita Falls) there was a DOT man that had a truck pulled over every day this last week, when I passed through there. On the average, you might see a DOT man once a week, but he was around there every day.
