If you have looked at the wts and measures vans that are used to enforce weights, they are IIRC WSP DOT wts and measures officers or some such verbage. Most commercial drivers I know refer to theses officers as DOT officers. It may be incorrect, but..........that is how they are known!

Actually their are varying classifications when it comes to weight enforcement in Washington.
You have WSP with its CVEO (Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers)
And you have city and county law enforcement with their own "weigh cops".
As for the WSP you see 3 different officers that I know of. Troopers, CVEO Black uniforms and CVEO Grey uniforms. The best I can tell (if I am wrong someone in the know will correct me ;)) that the Black uniform CVEO do roving patrols and man scales, however the grey uniform CVEO report for duty at and man the scales only.
If lam going to get stopped along the road I would much rather it be a Trooper as opposed to the CVEO's. The Troopers are always professional and don't seem to want to make an example of you. (Unless your an idiot and need some major learning). The CVEO's seem to be warm and cold when it comes to being professional, and their attitude varies like the weather.
