I have been held for a period because another company driver owed a fine, so they confiscated my truck until the company paid up (still was not wadcutter).

Nope, never did that.

VIRGINA.

Drove on to scales in a daycab, officer asked if I was an hourly employee. When I said YES, he sent me around back, told me to come inside. Showed me a fine the company had, as well as a regulation that stated they had the right to confiscate my truck as collateral until the payment was received.

He had several of our trucks cross the scales that day....I was the first HOURLY employee. He was apologetic, but also figured the company may let a mileage driver sit, but would probably use a bit more haste with an hourly employee. He was right, took me less than 15 minutes to get a comcheck, be on my way.

In IL only the State Police has the authority to enforce Motor Carrier Safety regs. We received extra training and certification for MCS levels

Several years back, PA started to allow locals to enforce carrier safety. A lot of municipalities, mostly near industrial centers, are operating portable scales in vacant lots.

See a lot of tri-axle coal trucks, and steel haulers pulled in....I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN RV.
