Roadcheck, day 1: Road reports

Early on day one of the 72-hour Roadcheck enforcement effort ongoing nationwide, we asked fans of Overdrive‘s Facebook page what exactly they were seeing around the nation in terms of participation. Readers responded from locales around the nation throughout the morning and afternoon. Below, find a collection of some of the responses. (Follow this link to weigh in today under the original Facebook post.)

Many commenters wondered where all the activity was, given the hype leading into it. Others, like Dennis Schaaf, took the time off to attend to some maintenance. “Not seeing anything,” Schaaf wrote. “Working on my Honey-Do list. Sure will be glad when I get my truck out of the shop.”

Chris Harkins: Not seeing a thing from my living room!

Skooter Carswell: Nothing in Texas…. Most scales are closed.

James Olmstead: Upset. I get $100 for every clean inspection. And I can’t find anyone to give me one.

Jason Harvey: Chicken coops locked up in the three Western states I’ve been in today.

Seth Foster: 12 squad cars in the coop on the west side of Des Moines at 6:45 this morning.

Chris Gadarowski: Tennessee I-81 WB east of Knoxville was scaling all trucks earlier this morning.

Robert Thaveed: I-40 WB out of Arizona, lots of DOT. In California, it was closed on the WB side.

Jeff Guyton: Business as usual on my travel from north Alabama to north Virginia today. Seems like more hype than substance.

Bill Sypert: Typical day across Pennsylvania. Scale was open but nothing special

James Getten: Running Arizona and California. So far, all green lights on the PrePass.

Ken Frisbee: I-20 WB into Dallas [Tuesday] morning at about 6 a.m.: Inspection lane open and 5-6 trucks pulled in.

Jerry Shamlin: I am shut down in Utah till Friday.

Rick Umback: I-90 in Montana going west…. Nothing exciting going on here.
