Most loggers don't care about being checked, it is usually the amount of time the DOT take when they stop a truck. It isn't unusual for a DOT guy to hold a truck for two or more hours. A lot of times that will cut his production by at least a load for the day. If some gung ho DOT guy stops the same loggers trucks multiple times a week it gets very expensive for the logger. A big bunch of crap about weight tickets is that the DOT will use those little portable scales, often right out side of the mill gates. If he says you are over weight and then your truck goes in the mill to a state certified whole truck scale and it shows him to be legal the logger will still have to pay the ticket based on the portable scale.
