just one. checked my logs and saw that I wasn't caught to the last change of status. told me to catch it up and drive safe. real nice guy but talked real s-l-o-w lol guess thats cause I grew up in NH and I can't get the Yankee out of me!

Yea! If you drive right by their OPEN scale house, they will come and get you and make you go back. :shock: :oops:

They're not real happy about it either. :wink:

Got logs checked at the olive branch scale. He was very nice

Never had a problem in MS.....been crossing through there for a long time now.... I've stopped and talked to them a time or two...to get information and they were rather helpful. Nice folks...at least the ones I spoke with were.

Pulled into the weigh station in Vicksburg, 10 minutes after the legal sunset with a permit load. Thought I had until 30 after sunset, in Ms it's 30 BEFORE, DOT officer very nicely suggested that I park the trailer at the end of the parking area, dolly down and go visit Vicksburg for supper. Recommended a couple good places to eat and let me know that he would be there all night, no one would be able to mess with my load.

west bound vicksburg scale.... i had and ifta sticker on my truck but i didnt have an updated copy of permit.....they were pretty cool about it, even though i was fined 20bucks plus a 7.95 fee for using a debit card. :)

Good to hear nobody has had any trouble with them. I'm thinking of applying with them next time they are hiring. What advice would yall have for a newbie DOT Officer?

Welcome to the south haha... :P

Can't remember which scale it was now but, hit it about 2am one morning and I guess I missed the closed sign.

As I pulled onto the scale I notices the scalemaster was standing in the door, propping it open with her foot while she smoked (looked 60ish).

I stopped, she stepped farther out and YELLED..."GIT OFFA MAH SCALE....CAN'T EWE SEE AH'M SMOKIN!"

:shock: yes, ma'am :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

Just remember to be nice to the truckers. After all, we've been nice to you!
