That's one of the many reasons I don't drive anymore. DOT treat drivers like a second class citizen with all the questions. It is like truck drivers have no privacy or rights. That career has really gone downhill with the DOT. He was professional, but all the questions and asking for last load info is a huge sign he was looking for a reason for a citation.

When you get pulled over for a inspection I found that being friendly doesn't do you a bit of good.The best thi g to do is keep your mouth shut and don't give up any extra information.After 40 years on the road you learn a few tricks.When going by a open scale get in the middle lane and hold it there till a vehicle comes up on side and make believe they won't let you over.There is no law that says you gotta kill someone. Trying to get in the scale.Never once got stopped,and I always raised hell on the CB and made believe I was pissed in case the DOT INSPECTORS were listening as they always do.And remember there is not a scale in America you can't go around if you have too.

Truck weigh stations have off/on-ramps, and they are only so long. When the weigh station is open, and trucks need to stop, and it's busy, they will line up on the off-ramp to get weighed. If the ramp is full, and presents an issue of spilling onto the roadway, causing a traffic jam, staff in the weigh station will give trucks the instruction to pass or skip that particular station, either through an in-cab signal or roadside signage. Based on context, state police departments are not too happy about that typically.
