Just a heads up. Shadeland area and 465.

[NEWMAN]

Got a call this morning ISP are out with the IMPD pulling people over in the area and taking them down the road to the walmart parking lot for Vehicle Inspections.
From my understanding they are moving it somewhere else tomm, When I find out the location I'll post up.

Yes I routed all my trucks around this.

 

[Lucas156]

Vehicle inspections? What is that supposed to mean?

 

[NEWMAN]

Sorry mostly DOT anything over 9k.
But IMPD is running the unmarked in the same spot to get the regualr cars/vans/truck

 

[Boilers]

More than one shadeland 465 area, right?
Not sure where Wal mart is on it.

 

[Lucas156]

I see. Thanks for posting that not that my vehicle wouldn't pass inspection but dont want to go through the hassle.

 

[MyGlockRocks19]

I thought there was no vehicle inspection in Indiana?


Edit...oops, y'all are talking commericial vehicles.

Kets just say from all of the east part of 465 that should clear it up.

ISP can stop any commercial truck at any time for a VI.

Wonder if it has anything to do with this:

28,000 pounds of marijuana seized near Temecula | Riverside County | PE.com | Southern California News | News for Inland Southern California

 

[NEWMAN]

WOW, thats a load and a half. Could be. I wonder how many get through in compaired to those that get caught.
Thats just crazzy. And a dumb driver.

 

[jeremy]

Uhhh...

I have 2 questions.
1. Is this only commercial vehicles?
2. What happens when you say no you can not search my vehicle?

 

[NEWMAN]

ISP"Truck" 9001 and up are out with the IMPD: 9000 and under "generally"

About refusing Inspection, you all can deal with that. My trucks are open doors to any one that wants to look they just slow my busines down, while they are on the road.
Just posting up. If this becomes a this that thread. Just delete and have fun with the tickets.lol

 

[jeremy]

Did not mean to imply a this or that thread Newman. Just I drive a Puckup with 11000# tags... And just curious how this plays out with me being a not for hire/ non commercial truck.

 

[NEWMAN]

anything over 9000 punds is required to have a US Dot number regarless of your buisiness of lack of business. You can and will be ticketed just like a semi.
So you are commerical by the books.

 

[jeremy]

Good God that means like half the pickups in the state should have DOT numbers then...

If the vehicle is not involved in a "commerical" business no DOT number is required.

Also:

Commercial motor vehicle means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle— (1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater;

Unless he is hauling "reportable quanties" of hazardous material it would not be defined as a "CMV" by FMCRs. Therefore he would not need DOT numbers.

IDK about that, I know both of our F250's are plated over 9,000 lbs. But i do believe they are also farm plates.

 

[wolfman]

If you'r not hauling for hire, over 9 passengers, or transporting haz mat, you are NOT a CMV.

 

[Thumper]

They have been doing that for years.I know most of them and if you are not breaking any laws no problem.These are great guys.
