{"text":"So after doing some calculations and comparing time spent in going weight stations vs planning to avoid them I came to conclusion that no matter how well prepared your truck is you will gain time in general if you avoid weight stations. I am talking about 3 car haulers.The reasons:1. They are targeted by Weight Stations. I do not know why but they really love to pull 3 car haulers over for inspections.2. You get violation or not greatly depends on DOT officer's personal attitude to you rather than actual regulation, some office do Inspection thoroughly some officers just go around or sit in their vehicles with your log book. For example I have seen in my career officer turned blind eye on small violation like for example number plate light was off but another officer gave me violation for not firmly attaching fire extinguisher. That very same fire extinguisher was there same way attached and all other officers were OK with that but not this one. My 3 car hauler allows me to choose the route I want without going to NO truck zones. I might spend 20 minutes more to avoid weight station but it still worths than going thereAND ONE IMPORTANT OBSERVATION MY CAR HAULER FRIENDSTHE OFFICER WHO PULLS YOU OVER DURING EARLY MORNING LIKE 5-6 AM WILL MORE LIKELY GIVE YOU PASS IF OF COURSE YOU ARE IN SHAPE THAN OFFICER THAT PULLS YOU OVER DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS. 5 AM COPS ARE NICER THAN 9 AM COPS. BELIEVE METhe regulations should go away.","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
