Your right about that, Steve. A weigh station inspector can type in your DOT # as you roll over the scale and have your complete inspection history in a few seconds.

Your safety rating is only affected by OOS orders. They keep track of two things; total inspections and failed inspections.

Yep-You can be pinched if they're not a foot off the catwalk
Rarely enforced but you can catch a ticket

Got a warning once

That's what it was. He just wrote up a warning.

I got a violation because my "9" on my dot number didn't have the bottom part of the 9. Thats what you get when you have a clean truck and all your I's are dotted and T's are crossed on your logs/paperwork.
