Any blitzing being done that you see?

Dot is spawn camping the loves at the 101 in Salinas ca and the on-ramp. Nevada has a ton of the jump scales open, and they’re going over the trucks with infrared and other stuff.

Tulsa to Fredrick, MD over the past two days. Business as usual, but tbf, I’m overnighting. I’ve only seen a handful open as my shift ends in the mornings.

The weight station in MS was actually open. So I guess that counts?

Alabama was hard at work in the rest area on 10 east yesterday morning. Even had a couple of chase cars in the median for those who decided to just fly by.

So far it's been a big nothing burger, and that's a good thing. I have 400 cases of Coors I have to get from Texarkana to Atlanta. I got a long way to go, and a short time to get there, but Big Enos is making that run worth my while! 💰

The boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana, eh?

From what I've learned, the day before Blitz week starts is busier than blitz week itself

[-]

adidaman@reddit

Some of you and your beat up old clunkers with leaking air need a good level 1 inspection so you can be off our roads

[-]

nicerakk@reddit

Scale in Avoca, IA is doing level 1. Pulling all trucks in until their parking spaces are full. I-80 westbound

[-]

I’ve seen a slight uptick in DOT activity in PA. Nothing major

[-]

gear_jammin_deer@reddit

There was a cop every 2 miles from the VA/NC line all the way up to VA exit 11 where I get off yesterday. I got pulled into a truckstop so the trooper could check my fuel, and there were 3 other trucks also being entertained by troopers in that truckstop.

[-]

AndromedanPrince@reddit

MS and AL state line. weigh stations open, AL rest area all trucks must enter and subject to inspection. Packed with troopers

[-]

valboots@reddit

As much as we all hate assholes with inflated egos, a minimum of 30% of all equipment are put out of service. Some might claim bullshit. But we've all seen the sketchy shit that are our fellow truck drivers. We need more enforcement to help bring trucking back to a sensible career, and hopefully the CVSE/MOT/DOT do it without ego and bullshit.

Pleasant prairie been open for about 36 hours at the Wisconsin Illinois state line , like they do every year .

im driving in Texas.... same shit, nothing different.

[-]

Revival-Waters@reddit

Bro???

Im in Texas and I've never seen this many weight stations open. Look at the reports on Trucker Path app, this definitely isnt normal.

[-]

R-e-s-t@reddit

i mean im only running up and down 35.... both scales are operating normally...

[-]

Pretend_Ad_8465@reddit

I do know what part of Texas you are driving in but I30 and I35 are lit

[-]

MssMoodi@reddit

They've been doing that forever they'll tell you it's one week and then they don't do it for one or two weeks later so watch out guys. Be safe plz

I had CHP pull me in. He said it was all about grant money, and complained about paper work. No citations issued.

I-17 in Arizona yesterday. They were using the rest areas north of Camp Verde. I rolled through without issue.

I also saw a number of DOT with trucks in the Truck Only rest area south of Flagstaff.

[-]

_FearMose_@reddit

Yes. All the weigh stations from San Antonio (i10), Dallas (i45) to Houston were all open. I saw inspections all day from 0500 to when I drove home they were inspecting 3 trucks on i10 at 8pm in the dark. Texas is not playing this year

[-]

Few_Interaction1327@reddit

Even seeing them pull people into the one outside of Hearne on Hwy6, and then troopers pulling trucks over between Hempstead and College Station, but that's kind of normal.

[-]

Gonzotrucker1@reddit

I-20 Louisiana

[-]

shadowmib@reddit

I haven't really seen anything unusual so far.

[-]

buttweasel76@reddit

They've had trucks pulled over at the weigh stations on west bound I-4 by Tampa most nights I've gone by.

[-]

whats_a_corrado@reddit

Same stations that are always closed/open are exactly that. At least on my run I’m doing right now on the east coast. The same scales I drive by even when open have the same activity as usual. In my experience the whole blitz week stuff is always a huge nothingburger

[-]

Itiari@reddit

I hit a pop up inspection site yesterday, so yes.

[-]

Minimum-Jacket-705@reddit

Arizona Troppers are working the rest areas on both sides west of Flagstaff on I-40 and I have seen several trucks pulled over by troopers on the shoulder today. (Wednesday 5/13)

[-]

I69 north in Michigan. Coldwater scale has been busy.

[-]

TRexDriver@reddit

Im driving Pennsylvania to Nebraska. So far I have made it half way through Ohio and I haven't seen ANY weight stations open. And no inspection

[-]

Inside-Finish-2128@reddit

Keep in mind part of this is a PR play. Someone in government wrote a bill that provides funding for blitz. They want to "get credit" for writing that bill and drumming up support, so they make sure it's announced where lots of their constituents will hear about it. In turn, the various agencies get money to spend on overtime payroll so the inspections are more prevalent for a period of time.

Government wants the public to know about blitz week as much as if not more than blitzing actually happens.

[-]

goalmaster14@reddit

California was pulling almost everyone in on I5 between LA and Bakersfield yesterday. They did a full inspection on me even while bobtailing. They found a couple nit-picky things with a couple air hoses coming off the air tank after crawling all the way under and told me to get it fixed before grabbing my next load.

[-]

Cornfugga@reddit

Yeah I’ve seen a few mobile weigh stations and trucks being pulled over, but seems like nowhere near the scale of operations as years prior.

[-]

Socketz11@reddit

I got pulled into a pop up site in Alabama, a couple DOT, orange comes. I got waved through, but they had microscopes shoved up the ass of a few guys that were pulled over.

[-]

Sure_Try6958@reddit

DOT blitz doesn’t exist in New England unless you’re a hazmat load

[-]

Pitiful-MobileGamer@reddit

Ontario has been an assembly line, so many of our drivers have reported getting pulled in for level ones checking load integrity.

[-]

Islanderwithwings@reddit

Yes in the East coast as usual. I've seen some ICE agents too.

[-]

beavismorpheus@reddit

I just checked trucker path. Rare to see so many open or actively monitored. If you take highway 20 then you don't have to deal with Mitchellville or Avoca. Mostly flat, straight, 4 lane 65mph divided highway.

[-]

milkman819@reddit

Lots of DOT doing inspections in scale on 64 east of St. Louis. Of course its freshly rebuilt and reopened less than 2 weeks so they're trying to pay for the construction costs this week

[-]

Exact-Leadership-521@reddit

I seen a usually closed yard with a pad open with some cruisers parked. They had a couple bobtails stopped so I pulled up behind cause maybe they were stopping everyone. Couple loads crossed the scale and left so I idled around. Lunch break! Let 2 trucks sit mid inspection
