Description

You are invited to participate in the Roadside Scales Inspection conducted by the Tennessee Trucking Association in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Safety at the Knoxville Scales located on I-40, mm 372, on September 24, 2024. We will meet on the eastbound side. Click here to register.

Participants will be divided into teams, and a state trooper will be assigned to lead each team. Teams will 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 performed.

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. The event begins at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time and concludes around 2:30 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. with a summary of the inspections conducted throughout the day. You don’t have to be a member to participate. There will be several “visitors” present.

If you can get away, please join us for this opportunity to learn about scale inspections. Even if you can’t make it, please try to send someone from your company who works with log records, scale violation paperwork, safety, or maintenance. We have had company owners, administrative personnel, dispatchers, maintenance staff, and others participate in the past, all of whom have gained valuable experience.

Please share this with anyone in the industry you feel might be interested in participating. To view the full lineup of fall Roadside Scales events click here.
