To all:
Just wanted to inform you of a house bill (HB3172) that was passed in Illinois to reduce the amount of safety lane inspections you have to do from every 6 months to an annual inspection on some interstate (Illinois operation only) trucks.

Took some leg work yesterday but I found a safety lane in my area that is doing the proper annual inspections. Coffman Trucks in Aurora is doing an annual inspection on "D Plated" pickup chassis platforms. I did not aske about bigger platforms so I don't know on those. Trailers are still every 6 months.
This not only saves the axle inspection and sticker fee per power unit per year, but the stupid amount of time spent driving to and sitting in the safety lane to get trucks inspected.
I spoke with my usual safety lane that we go to and he said that he has no knowledge of this HB3172 and he will only give a 6 month sticker. Found this to be the case at 2 other safety lanes that I called. So I am not sure if they are not informed of it or they are not adhering to it do the lost revenue that they will see.
Either way, it is worth a call to your safety lane to see if they are doing annual or bi annual inspections on your trucks.
