Truck & Trailer Tuesday!! Stopped At A Weigh Station!

Truck and Trailer Tuesday is back! Tractor Time with Tim stops by the Indiana Weigh Station near Terre Haute to learn the rules and regulations from Senior State Trooper Brent Hoover. Trooper Hoover runs a Facebook page called Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division to educate the public before getting stopped! There are many rules to learn before loading up your compact tractor on a trailer and hauling it across town, across the state and especially across state lines.

A lot of useful information here. I look forward to seeing more of this series as there are tons of questions I'm sure most people have on this subject. Very nice of Trooper Hoover to agree to answer these questions for your viewers. As with anything in life, there's no substitute for being prepared. Thanks for posting Tim.

[@bouma650]

Great video Tim! Fantastic idea.! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good video for those who never experienced a weight station!

[@karlcarnevale4948]

Thank You Trooper. Be Safe!

[@ericshimer6669]

Used to have fb and Officer Hoover does a good job informing drivers on how to avoid him. Lol He understands trucking more then drivers give him credit for.

[@tradbowhunter]

I have gained so much more knowledge from watching this series than any other videos I’ve watched. God bless you for putting this together, I’ve found out that not a lot of people are willing to share information or are willing to help you , and others just lead you down a rabbit hole that leaves you with more questions than answers. This is a great channel thanks again and I’m looking forward to more of these informative videos. God bless you guys for taking the time to share such valuable information.

[@scott2426]

Think this is my favorite video so far, very cool information. Excited to see the next one in this series. Thanks for sharing!

[@ramahonlineschool]

These are great videos. I really appreciate Trooper Hoover. Thank you both.

Awesome and i wish more states would do these kids of things to educate the general public on how it works and we would all be better to learn from it

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

I'm sure this series is going to ruffle a few feathers! That in door inspection station is amazing,our inspection are done outside in a parking lot with a creeper. You guys are putting your channel to a new level, ty for sharing

[@TheFarmingLife]

Excellent video. I still carry my CDL medical card because I was a commercial driver and now I'm a farmer. Just in case farming doesn't pan out I could always go back driving truck. As a commercial truck driver when the light says come in your stomach falls to the floor. And most truck drivers would no what I'm talkin about. Have a great evening keep up the good work

[@akbychoice]

The Farming Life been there many times over the last 26 years.

[@gravelydon7072]

I normally get the light when empty. I never get it when I have a load in the pickup truck and trailer. I'm use to it. Had my commercial license for over 40 years now and most likely giving it up on my next birthday. I had no need for the medical card as I was exempt working for the State.

[@daved7024]

Thanks Tim for a very informative video. Many thanks to Trooper Hoover stay safe out there. 👍🇺🇸

Indeed officer Hoover and Tim thanks to u both. I just came across these videos and I'm learning alot of stuff rite now listening to the this OFFICER HOOVER

I have been pulled in that very scale, and he's correct about different states requiring load signs and other equipment.

[@veteranheavyequipmechanic4990]

Exactly I live in PA a couple years ago I worked for a frac company. Our pumps were overweight not overdimesional, when we crossed into WV we had to stop and put oversize signs on .

[@gravelydon7072]

@@veteranheavyequipmechanic4990 Heck, in WV in 2001 legally I needed them just for my pickup on some of WV's State Highways. Not overweight but oversized. State law was under 120" lanes and a vehicle over 96" required them. My pickup, 102" at the rear wheel's treads from the factory. Of course, some of WV's roads aren't even 15' wide total. ;-) And back then, even some of the Federal Highways didn't have 10' lanes but as the pickup met Federal standards, they couldn't do anything about it on those roads.

[@robbridges7810]

Looking very forward to seeing these videos from DOT

[@jasone9]

Thanks to Trooper Hoover for his information and want to help get questions answered. Just keep in mind that the rules and the interpretation of rules varies from state to state and just because it is one way in Indiana doesn't mean it's that way everywhere. I think this is going to be an interesting series of videos, thanks for doing them Tim.

Great addition to the channel. People will learn a lot from this kind of videos.

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Great education for potential transport operations that may encroach upon commercial activities. Having done some of this in a previous (LENF) career this can get very technical and a certain expertise is needed. Great information provided by Trooper Hoover. This is excellent for those folk who may be unaware of commercial vehicle regulations, those who may dare I say try to slip bye and those who desire to operate commercially.

[@Budd56]

Mr Hoover, thank you for all the info on your Facebook page 👍👍👍.

Thanks Tim, great series on this subject. I had the same question about the using a Kenworth to go to Wal-Mart to buy Groceries. But since I live in Florida I would have to check my state's requirements.

[@CliffsideStables]

Tim another stop that you have to make occasionally is at an Agricultural Inspection Station. You might want to do a show dealing with what type of trucks and trailers have to stop at an ag inspection station. I was told when I stopped at the ag inspection station on I-75 entering Florida that even if my trailer is empty I have to stop.

[@inspectorsj]

Excellent excellent video Tim

[@johnmyers8488]

Trooper Hoover rocks!!!! I’ve been through a lot of weigh stations and DOT inspections, some good officers but more dink’s than anything else. All they were interested in doing was writing tickets. Trooper Hoover is interested in informing the driver why something is incorrect so it won’t happen the next time. Thanks Tim and Trooper Hoover

[@AlanCSXFan]

Looking forward to this!!!!

That’s a great cop right there. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and for your service

[@danielsharon524]

Great and MUCH needed series - I'm sure (hope) there are similar vids in the RV & other hobbyist communities but this certainly applied there. Whether or not one agrees w/the process/premise, it's something that needs to be dealt with. Glad to hear they're backing off on the leisure/hobbyists. That had gotten out of control. Although we want them to be safe, IMHO any "tickets" should be in the form of a warning or advisory. In our state (MD) if an officer issues a safety violation on a non-commercial vehicle (light out, tires, cracked windshield, etc.), you have 30 days to have it repaired and inspected either by the police or by an authorized state inspector and that's how it should be.

[@benharmon4207]

Officer Hoover has been on Logger Wade's channels too he is a wealth of knowledge on truck enforcement. Oh he will give you a ticket but he will educate you on the infraction so you don't make it again and know how the law works so you can share that info with others so we as a commercial and non commercial carriers are better educated and safer on the roads.

[@nef3h11]

Great video glad they cleared up the weekend racer people.

This I great information I've spent hours and hours piecing all the information you just put in a 13 minute video. This may come in a future video but would love to see more info on dot requirements and whether you need #s or not.

[@dalef139]

Actually had some interaction with this officer some time ago at a multi jurisdictional inspection setup. Hes actually one of the good ones. Was more educational than about revenue. Had pretty new equipment and all my ducks in a row with regulatory agencies, insurance, ifta, etc. So no issues whatsoever. Nice guy, not the typical attitude that some officers have.

[@rick8910]

Think that guy with the load of logs needs a few more straps 😁

[@hiperstang]

I used to work at a dealer for log loaders. The rule back then anyway, was a strap or chain every ten feet. So a twelve foot log would need two chains.

[@ExtremeRC4x4]

[@brianwebber7168]

Great video Tim. I'm glad you found Officer Hoover. You Tube is making him a celebrity. You're the 3rd channel I know of to have him on. I don't know how Indiana does there plating and registration. When I was otr I always ran under DOT numbers and apportioned plates gross weight #80,000. Illinois has so many different license plate classifications it's ridiculous. At a class d plate and above you are required to have your truck safety inspected every 6 months. Trailers are included somewhere in that mess( I think it goes by weight). If you have DOT numbers then it is only a once a year inspection . Cdl or not in Illinois you have to have the appropriate registered weight classification for single and combination. vehicles. Further more Illinois has bridge laws, weight limits, and different classifications on roads. All very confusing to drivers and officers. Knowledge is power .
