Most weigh stations I've seen around here say: "No pickups."Some empty pickups ignore this at their own risk.

I just went through one and they waived me through once they saw I was empty and had a DOT #Most weigh stations I've seen around here say: "No pickups."
I think they were afraid to mess with you ...they waived me through once they saw I was empty and had a DOT #
One problem is the cost of getting a CDL. I wonder if there is going to be a shortage. I don’t know if it an Illinois thing or national but now you have to take a class to get you CDL. It ends up costing a few thousand dollars. I think it’s fairly easy to find the classes it seems like junior colleges are offering them.
the ones I called couldn’t understand that I wanted the CDL for driving a dually and equipment trailer. Told me it was basically set up to get big rig drivers a job and I would have to line up my own 18wheeler to take the test.Yes you need to take a class everywhere to get a CDL.
