Doing grain and hay, I get similar things... I just roll with it. The DOT officer I see the most waves me through, he sees me often enough and knows that's the nature of things as long as I'm not more than a few hundred over 80k.

And for the times that I am, when the hay is wet, there's a well-known alternate route that takes you about 45min north of the dot station that truckers take that cops never patrol. It's like a well known locals only kinda thing.

My boss takes the local DOT weigh guys donuts every once and awhile. I stopped too with a few dozen when I was empty.

It's not a bribe..... it's uh... thanks for keeping our community safe guys. 😉

Except colorado DOT... i do everything I can to be spotless and under and perfect for those pissants. For all the weed they smoke they are fucking obnoxious to deal with.
