DOT officers have the right to pull you over for an inspection at any time. Probably 50% of my inspections have been done on the shoulder.

I thought you said you were placarded if so i haul hazmat loads most of the time and i never been stopped on the road for a inspection. They have stopped me and told me to go to next exit ramp are rest area or scales. I believe it is a law they can't inspect a hazmat load on the shoulder.

I misread what you had asked about. Did you mention to them that you're hauling a placard hazmat load and don't feel safe on the shoulder of the highway? After all, the regs say no parking within 50' of the road.

At least if something did happen on the shoulder while they're inspecting you, it's 100% on the officer.

Maine is always pulling trucks over on the shoulder for no reason.
