{"replyTo":"","text":"they won't wake you up to inspect you, they do it while you're asleep.  if they find anything wrong they stick a \"OUT OF SERVICE \" Sticker on your window..... Illinois is good at that in rest areas also, I've woke up in a m to find 8-10 DOT Cops swarming around everyone's trucks, trying to find problems before you wake up and get away !","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Simpson’s lover\nSleeping at a weigh station is actually one of the better places to safely park. You won’t have to worry as much about other truckers “messing” with ur truck and the DOT officers usually don’t mess with drivers who have been shut down there overnight. When the officers come in to start their shift they check the video feeds for the last “hours since they left” and if it’s been over 10hrs they will come and check on you but most of the time it’s to ensure your still breathing. \n\nThe bad thing about sleep at a weigh station. U already parked overnight and they decide to either “random” inspect you or they random weigh you.","replyToPid":0}
