Weigh Station Alerts Warn Truckers of Hassles Ahead

Albuquerque, NM, January 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Driver Networks LLC is pleased to announce an enhanced Weigh Station Alert system for their flagship website CoopsAreOpen.com. CoopsAreOpen.com is the most comprehensive resource for more than 1100 weigh stations and scales and the corresponding state DOT regulations, saving truck drivers thousands of dollars in potential fines and avoiding long delays or inspections.

Professional truck drivers who sign up for the CoopsAreOpen.com monthly newsletter will also receive Weigh Station Alerts to warn them about DOT check points they may not be expecting. Company Spokesperson Suzanne Roquemore stated "Drivers expect some weigh stations to be open and working. But if officers doing unexpected log book checks, or if DOT is set up with a mobile enforcement unit, truckers might be caught by surprise. Knowing that officers are scrutinizing paperwork or inspecting equipment up the road gives drivers time to make sure their paperwork is in order and their equipment is up to par."

It is legal in most states to drive around, or otherwise avoid, these weigh station checkpoints. CoopsAreOpen.com explains the applicable legality and offers verified alternate routes for individual scales - including information about marked non-trucking routes, weight-limits and low bridges drivers may encounter.

Their state pages contain general DOT information as well as gross and axle weight tolerances, procedures, interstate and state route weight limits, overweight penalties and scale bypass considerations. They provide the information truckers need to stay legal and avoid unnecessary fines and delays.

Their station pages contain specific location and contact information, station photographs, user-submitted comments, PrePass availability, parking options, trucker atlas inaccuracies and suggested alternate routes.
