GILES COUNTY SCALES ROADSIDE

You are invited to participate in a Roadside Inspection conducted by the Tennessee Trucking Association in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Safety on March 26th at the Giles County Scales on I-65 North, mile marker 5 out of Alabama -northbound side. 

Participants will divide into teams and a State Trooper will be assigned to lead each team.  Teams work with the troopers as they pull vehicles in for inspections.  Level I, II, and III inspections will be conducted.  It is the best educational experience a company can have regarding how roadside inspections are conducted.  You will see what might prompt a vehicle to be pulled in, what determines the level of inspection to be performed, and what is expected when paperwork and equipment are checked. 

This facility has a weigh-in-motion (WIM) scale along with a DOT reader, license plate reader, over-height, length, and width detector, and a Performance-based brake tester (PBBT).   We are very excited about this opportunity to work with the Department of Safety again at this facility.
