Roadcheck 2019 In Effect This Week

It seems that the stations that are always closed, are still closed.... not saying that they aren't inspecting more, but it's nothing to really worry about.

From what ive seen Illinois, and Indiana haven't been that much more active either. But i feel they've been much more active this year than previous.

I was in SC yesterday and figured I'd get pulled in, but didn't. I've been zigzagging back and forth across i-75 in Georgia since yesterday getting my forklifts delivered and getting my backhaul. Been by Georgia scales 5 times lol.. get pulled in but then get the bypass lane. So far so good. We'll see how tomorrow goes.. still I South Georgia but headed up I-75 to Ohio.

Ones I've see so far are inspecting O/O. Leaving us corporate types alone

Because as a general rule, the mega fleets have better CSA scores. (More money to build up their own maintenance and safety department) (Despite small fleets easily making up the bulk of trucking companies on the road)

Illinois State Police have been inspecting the beejeezus out of rolling stock in the area of I55 - Arsenal Road (244MM). They are sitting on roadside, facing into traffic, watching trucks negotiate the sweeping left turn onto the Arsenal Rd throughway. Bad suspension will reflect itself here quite easily, it's a downhill, left curving off camber section of roadway. In the past three days (I'm terminal bound due to injury) they have been in the accident investigation area non-stop from 0600 through about 1500. No shortage of customers, four troopers - no waiting for a space on the porta scale / inspection pad. All inspections have been open hood. Yes, they started early... the cheaters... lol

I have seen a lot of trucks being inspected on 80 in Mokena they had the whole lot full today, none where name brand companies most where O/O containers. Also on 65 in Lowell the scale is still closed but they had 2 customers in the building being inspected

I know that area you're talkin about. I see them sitting there outside of the gates of the corporations and I wonder if that's what they're watching for even then without the Blitz

From what I have experienced, It has been fairly quiet in Ohio....so far. I have rolled through multiple weigh stations with nary a blip.

I think most government departments have had to cut back on their budgets. The DOT and highway patrols would do more if the budget money would allow. That might be good or bad, depending on your viewpoint.
