September 2026

  1. I-70

    What it said

    33 of 83 checked claims were wrong or out of date. The page called the Eisenhower-Johnson Tunnel a 2.7-mile tunnel and said placarded hazmat was barred from it year-round. It named the CDOT chain orders Code 1 and Code 2, said I-70 ends at a park-and-ride lot in Baltimore and briefly meets the Ohio Turnpike, and gave the length as 2,153 miles. 20 of 29 city mileposts were wrong, and the page used the nickname The Eisenhower Corridor.

    What it says now

    Each tunnel bore is about 1.7 miles. Placarded hazmat must take US-6 over Loveland Pass whenever the pass is open (2 CCR 601-8, Rule 3.02). The truck chain order is Code 18. The east end is I-695 in Woodlawn, MD: FHWA removed the stub east of the Beltway from the Interstate System on August 29, 2014. I-70 does not meet the Ohio Turnpike. The FHWA route log gives 2,061 miles plus 114 shared with other Interstates. The mileposts were corrected and the nickname was removed.

    Checked against: FHWA route log; CDOT; 2 CCR 601-8

  2. I-77

    What it said

    15 of 19 mileposts were wrong. The page said some hazmat loads are barred from the Big Walker Mountain and East River Mountain tunnels under seasonal routing rules. It put the West Virginia Turnpike between Beckley and Charleston, said heavy trucks are kept out of only some segments of the Charlotte Express Lanes, and gave the length as 611 miles.

    What it says now

    The mileposts were corrected. Hazmat may use both tunnels under 24VAC30-61-30 if the shipment complies with 49 CFR Parts 100 to 180, and the Commissioner can impose temporary restrictions. The Turnpike runs 88 miles from Princeton to Charleston with three mainline toll plazas. Vehicles with more than two axles may not use any of the 26 miles of I-77 Express Lanes. The length is 606.78 miles.

  3. I-90

    What it said

    Snoqualmie Pass was called the only year-round Cascade crossing for commercial vehicles. The page said Washington chain laws are active November through March and gave the summit as 3,015 ft, citing Wikipedia.

    What it says now

    Snoqualmie Pass is the main freight crossing of the Cascades. Vehicles over 10,000 lb GVWR must carry chains over the pass from November 1 to April 1 and put them on when WSDOT posts chains required (WAC 204-24-050). The summit is 3,022 ft (WSDOT).

    Checked against: WSDOT; WAC 204-24-050

  4. Eisenhower Tunnel

    What it said

    Placarded hazmat was described as banned from the tunnel year-round and always routed over Loveland Pass, in the key facts, the hazards list and the FAQ.

    What it says now

    Placarded hazmat must use US 6 over Loveland Pass while the pass is open. When it is closed, CDOT escorts most placarded classes through the tunnel at set times, and a few classes may not use the tunnel at all.

    Checked against: 2 CCR 601-8 (Rule 3.02); CDOT

  5. Loveland Pass

    What it said

    The page called US-6 over Loveland Pass the mandatory year-round route for placarded hazmat banned from the Eisenhower-Johnson Tunnel. It gave the summit as 11,990 ft and described a steady 6.7 percent grade.

    What it says now

    US-6 is the required hazmat route only while the pass is open, and most classes are escorted through the tunnel when it is closed. The summit is 11,992 ft and grades run up to 6 percent (CDOT). Running without chains costs a commercial driver $500 plus a $78 surcharge (C.R.S. 42-4-106(5)(a)(III)).

    Checked against: 2 CCR 601-8; CDOT; C.R.S. 42-4-106

  6. Snoqualmie Pass

    What it said

    The page said about half a dozen avalanche chutes cross the corridor and that a driver who does not chain up risks a fine of up to $500.

    What it says now

    WSDOT's avalanche atlas maps 43 avalanche paths in its Snoqualmie Pass area. Ignoring a posted chain requirement is a $500 traffic infraction, all assessments included (RCW 47.36.250). The chain rules now follow WAC 204-24-050: carry chains from November 1 to April 1 between North Bend (MP 32) and Ellensburg (MP 101), plus two extra chains, and mount them at the 'Traction tires required' level.

    Checked against: WSDOT; RCW 47.36.250; WAC 204-24-050

  7. Stevens Pass

    What it said

    The page described the 9.8-mile, 2,729 ft climb as the westbound climb. It said the 1910 Wellington avalanche led to the Cascade Tunnel, and it placed 2025 emergency repairs on a 12-mile section between mileposts 58 and 70. It gave the chain carry rule without the stretch of US-2 it covers.

    What it says now

    That climb is on the west side, so westbound trucks descend it. The 1910 trains had come through the first Cascade Tunnel; the 7.8-mile tunnel that took the line off the Wellington grade opened on January 12, 1929. The page now names the Tumwater Canyon rockfall slopes at mileposts 94, 97 and 98 and the December 2025 flood damage at mileposts 54, 58 to 71 and 85 to 99. The carry rule applies between Index (MP 36) and Dryden (MP 108) (WAC 204-24-050).

    Checked against: WSDOT; WAC 204-24-050; HistoryLink

  8. Washington weigh stations

    What it said

    The page said Drivewyze works at Washington scales.

    What it says now

    Drivewyze lists its Washington sites as notifications only, with no bypass.

    Checked against: Fleetworthy coverage map, September 2026

  9. Truck speed limits by state

    What it said

    Truck speed limits were wrong for 17 states, and 26 states were listed as split-limit states.

    What it says now

    Eight states hold heavy trucks below cars on interstates as of September 30, 2026: Arkansas, California, Illinois (six Chicago-area counties only), Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Idaho dropped its split on July 1, 2026. Each state carries its statute.

    Checked against: State statutes

  10. IFTA and IRP explained

    What it said

    The IFTA audit rate and the diesel tax rates were wrong.

    What it says now

    The post was checked claim by claim against IFTA and IRP documents and rewritten. It covers the IRP fleet audit requirement and IFTA Ballot 3-2025 (in force January 1, 2026).

    Checked against: IFTA and IRP documents; Texas DMV; Ohio IRP guide

  11. US-Canada border crossing guide

    What it said

    The guide said the Gordie Howe International Bridge opened in late 2025. It also stated a FAST rule that does not exist.

    What it says now

    The bridge is described with its official commercial toll rates as of September 2026. FAST is described from CBP and CBSA: the card belongs to the driver, but the FAST lane depends on every link of the supply chain being certified. The fee is US$50 for five years.

    Checked against: CBP; CBSA; 19 CFR 123.92; CBSA Memorandum D3-1-5

  12. Auto hauler career guide

    What it said

    The post gave car hauler pay figures that had no source.

    What it says now

    Pay figures are now attributed. The BLS median for heavy truck drivers was $58,640 in May 2025, and the higher figures are United Road's own advertised ranges.

    Checked against: BLS; United Road

  13. PrePass vs Bestpass vs Drivewyze

    What it said

    The Fleetworthy bypass list price was given as $17.95. The post did not name the agency that runs Pennsylvania's program, and it carried figures that could not be traced to a current company or agency source.

    What it says now

    The list price is $17.99. The Pennsylvania State Police run Pennsylvania's program. ODOT says both apps work at Oregon's Green Light sites. The untraceable figures were removed.

    Checked against: Company pages; ODOT

  14. Loveland Pass, Eisenhower Tunnel, Vail Pass, Wolf Creek Pass, Monument Hill

    What it said

    Loveland, Eisenhower and Wolf Creek put Colorado's chain law at 26,001 lb, the federal CDL line. Loveland, Eisenhower and Vail gave the commercial carry corridor as I-70 from Dotsero to Morrison. Monument Hill said the carry law covers I-25.

    What it says now

    The weight is 16,001 lb. The commercial corridor is I-70 west of milepost 259 plus CO 9 and US 40, 50, 160, 285 and 550. Dotsero to Morrison is the separate rule for all motor vehicles. I-25 is not a named corridor.

    Checked against: C.R.S. 42-4-106(5)(a)(I)(C) as amended by SB24-100; 2 CCR 601-14, Rules 1.06 and 5.01

  15. Site-wide structured data, iOS app page

    What it said

    The Organization and WebSite JSON-LD on every SSR page said the site covers all 50 US states. The /app MobileApplication data gave version 1.1.0 and a 34 MB download.

    What it says now

    41 states have an incident feed, 6 more send work zones only (DE, HI, KY, LA, MA, OK), and Connecticut, New Jersey and Rhode Island have none. NWS alerts cover all 50 states. The app data gives version 1.3.0 and 80.6 MB.

    Checked against: data/stateIncidentFeeds.js; Apple lookup API

  16. Mountain pass pages (65)

    What it said

    Every pass reading was printed in Denver time and labeled MT, and about 30 passes are not in Mountain time. Donner, Snoqualmie, Siskiyou and the Nevada passes read an hour late, the Appalachian passes two hours early, and the Arizona passes an hour out all summer.

    What it says now

    Each reading is printed in its own pass's time zone with the correct abbreviation (PDT/PST, MDT/MST, EDT).

  17. Interstate pages

    What it said

    /highway/i-45 used four of its eight section headings for alerts issued far from the corridor, including Flood Watches from NWS El Paso, Midland and Amarillo. /highway/i-35, i-70 and i-80 claimed 100 active incidents, but 100 was only the query limit.

    What it says now

    Alerts appear as a count per state, with a note that each alert covers a county or zone that may be far from the Interstate. Incident totals come from a full count. The meta description carries no count.

    Checked against: NWS (api.weather.gov)

  18. Earthquakes, Wildfires, Disasters

    What it said

    /earthquakes, titled 'Recent Earthquakes Near US Highways', listed the worldwide USGS feed. 44 of its 92 rows were outside the US, and its 'Strongest: M5.7' was a quake 180 km off Tonga. /wildfires printed fractional acres (8,785.721). /disasters showed HAWK FIRE, NV twice with identical cells.

    What it says now

    /earthquakes counts only quakes inside a US state. Acres are whole numbers. Each /disasters row shows FEMA's own declaration number and kind (FM-5674 and EM-3653 for the Hawk Fire).

    Checked against: USGS; OpenFEMA

  19. Oregon pass pages

    What it said

    Oregon pass report times were read as UTC, so every reading was dated seven to eight hours before it happened. /passes/government-camp said 'Updated 4/22/2026, 5:47 PM' for a report entered at 22:47 Pacific.

    What it says now

    ODOT times are read as Pacific time, with daylight saving applied.

    Checked against: ODOT TripCheck feed

  20. Mountain pass pages, Pass popups on the map, Interstate pages

    What it said

    Government Camp (US-26) showed '16F, Heavy Snow, Carry Chains' under a green NO RESTRICTIONS badge. The reading was from April 22, and all eight Oregon passes were months stale. /passes showed chains at 96F and 170F. Chain status came from a flag that the Oregon, Utah and Colorado scrapers never set, so those states could show no restrictions during a real chain order.

    What it says now

    A reading older than 24 hours shows 'no current report' and loses its numbers. Chain status is read from the DOT's own restriction text for every state.

    Checked against: State DOT pass feeds (ODOT, UDOT, CDOT, WSDOT, Caltrans)

  21. Government Camp, Cabbage Hill, Parleys Summit

    What it said

    All three pages said there was no live condition feed for the pass, while the map showed that pass's reading.

    What it says now

    Each page is matched to the row its DOT sends, so it shows the live reading.

    Checked against: ODOT; UDOT

  22. Frost law pages for the 27 states without one

    What it said

    Each page asked whether the state's frost laws apply to the Interstates and answered: 'No. The federal Interstates in <State> are exempt. The reduction applies to state, county, and local roads.' That described a seasonal reduction the page had just said does not exist. The same text was in the FAQPage JSON-LD.

    What it says now

    That question appears only where a frost law exists. The fact box says 'No seasonal limit'.

    Checked against: frostLawsMeta.js

  23. Zion National Park

    What it said

    The page sold a $15 escort permit through the Mount Carmel Tunnel in three places and gave the length limit as 40 ft. It treated the limits as applying to the tunnel only, and it started the shuttle season in February.

    What it says now

    The escort system ended on June 7, 2026. Since then the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway between Canyon Junction and the East Entrance is closed to single vehicles over 35 ft 9 in long, 7 ft 10 in wide, 11 ft 4 in tall or 50,000 lb, and to combinations over 50 ft or 26 ft from hitch to rear axle. The limits cover the whole 10.7-mile highway. The shuttle season runs March through November.

    Checked against: NPS; UDOT

  24. Yosemite National Park

    What it said

    The page called CA-120 and CA-140 truck-friendly and unrestricted in length, without saying commercial trucking through the park is prohibited. It gave Glacier Point Road as 25 ft and hedged about 2026 reservations. Its I-5 route went by way of I-205 at about 140 miles.

    What it says now

    Commercial trucking through Yosemite is prohibited, and every open road carries a posted length cap. Glacier Point Road is 30 ft. The park announced on February 18, 2026 that it would not use timed entry. CA-120 leaves I-5 at Mossdale, about 95 miles from the Big Oak Flat Entrance.

    Checked against: NPS (Yosemite compendium, May 2026; park announcement February 18, 2026)

  25. Grand Teton, I-15

    What it said

    The page gave I-15 Exit 119 and I-80 Exit 99, and /highway/i-15 printed the same exit numbers. It put the Moose-Wilson Road length limit at 25 ft and gave Grand Teton's height as 13,775 ft.

    What it says now

    The exits are I-15 Exit 116 and I-80 Exit 104. The Moose-Wilson Road limit is 280 inches (23 ft 4 in), and 1.5 miles of that road is unpaved. The height is 13,770 ft.

    Checked against: ITD corridor document; WYDOT road report; NPS

  26. Features, iOS app page, Interstates, llms.txt

    What it said

    These pages said every feed was 'refreshed every 15 minutes' and called the wildfire and earthquake layers 'real-time'.

    What it says now

    State DOT and NWS feeds are read every 15 minutes. Work zone (WZDx), wildfire and earthquake feeds are read every 60 minutes, FEMA twice a day and federal statistics once a day. The numbers are read from the scheduler constants.

    Checked against: Scheduler code (index.js cron, scheduler.js heavy tier)

  27. Statistics

    What it said

    The page gave 79,965,784 power units and 36.2 trucks per carrier. 1,773 implausible self-reported filings made up 90 percent of that total, and the page explained the figure as 'a handful of very large carriers' and said 'we do not adjust them'.

    What it says now

    Filings that declare an impossible fleet size are left out of the totals, and the page says so. FMCSA publishes 8,544,650 vehicles for 2,122,441 carriers, 4.0 each, and the national total is checked against that figure.

    Checked against: FMCSA registration statistics; FMCSA Pocket Guide

  28. 511 state pages (50)

    What it said

    Every state page said to dial 5-1-1 and called the line 'free and available 24/7', in the FAQ and in the FAQPage JSON-LD. That was false on 16 pages: 12 states had retired the line and 4 were unconfirmed, Texas among the retired. Seven states with no incident feed said 'There are currently no active road closures reported', credited to official DOT sources updated every 15 minutes; Alabama's own ALGO Traffic showed 188 active events.

    What it says now

    Retired states name and link their replacement system, and unconfirmed states say the status is unconfirmed. States with no feed say so, and a state whose feed has gone quiet says that. Each page links its official DOT, and the refresh claim is taken from the scraper interval and the page cache.

    Checked against: state511Systems.js (state DOT and FHWA sources); ALGO Traffic

  29. 511 state pages, Interstate pages, National park pages

    What it said

    NWS alerts were matched by looking for the state's name in the county list. 29 of 50 states could never show their own alerts. /511/new-mexico said 'no active weather alerts' while a Flash Flood Warning was live in Bernalillo County. /511/washington showed a Kentucky Flood Advisory for Washington County, KY, and three Washington park pages showed an Iowa flood watch. A failed feed read was shown as 'no alerts'.

    What it says now

    Alerts are matched on the state code in the NWS UGC geocode. A page may say a state is clear only when at least 90 percent of states answered in that pass.

    Checked against: NWS (api.weather.gov)

  30. Regulation pages (28 table cells on five hubs, 56 state pages)

    What it said

    A text shortener cut values at the first period. /weight-distance-tax/kentucky printed 'Rate Flat 2' for 2.85 cents per mile. The California railroad FAQ said 'any quantity of Division 2.' where the statute says Division 2.3 chlorine. New Jersey's overweight fine read '$0' where the statute says $0.02 per pound.

    What it says now

    Decimals and statute abbreviations are kept whole. Across all 13,188 strings in the data files, 37 cut values were repaired.

    Checked against: The section data files (statute text already held there)

  31. Chain laws (hub and 51 state pages), Studded tire laws

    What it said

    274 fields across 51 records were changed. Arizona had a binding 'Chains or 4WD Required' order and a fine of about $160. South Dakota and Maryland counted as chain-law states, and Georgia and Massachusetts as having none. California said textile devices never count. Colorado used the retired Code 15/16 names. Utah cited 41-6a-1636 with a fine 'up to $750'. Texas had a $500 to $2,000 fine. Washington said AutoSock is not allowed. US-441 over Newfound Gap was suggested to trucks. 49 CFR 392.14 was cited as the rule that defers to the states.

    What it says now

    Arizona has no chain mandate (ADOT recommends chains and closes roads). Snow tires satisfy the rules in South Dakota and Maryland. Georgia requires chains on the outer drive tires in a declared winter emergency, and Massachusetts requires Turnpike LTUs to carry chains October 15 to May 1. Caltrans lists textile devices as alternative traction devices. Colorado's truck order is the Commercial Motor Vehicle Chain Law, at 16,001 lb. Utah's rule is 41-6a-715 with a suggested $110 fine. Texas has no chain fine; a damaging metal device is an equipment misdemeanor fined $1 to $200 (Transp. Code 547.004, 542.401). The Washington State Patrol approves AutoSock. Commercial vehicles are barred from US-441 in the park. The rule that defers to the states is 49 CFR 392.2.

August 2026

  1. PrePass vs Bestpass vs Drivewyze

    What it said

    The article called PrePass the largest network while quoting a larger site count for Drivewyze. It described the 2017 Bestpass and PrePass transponder deal as current, used pre-merger Bestpass pricing, and said PrePass has no Pennsylvania coverage.

    What it says now

    Bestpass has used Drivewyze since 2023, and both have been one company (Fleetworthy) since August 2024. PrePass has 37 app-only sites in Pennsylvania. Each vendor's own dated figures are given: Fleetworthy (Drivewyze) 925+ bypass sites in 48 states and provinces, PrePass 586+ locations in 47 jurisdictions.

    Checked against: Each vendor's own pages; reported by Fleetworthy

July 2026

  1. Regulation pages: weight, size, speed and routing (9 sections)

    What it said

    Washington advertised 75 mph segments and a 15 mph truck gap. Arizona's APU allowance was 2,000 lb. Colorado's tandem limits were low, and Georgia's off-Interstate tandem was given as 34,000 lb. Maryland's single axle ignored registered weight. Utah allowed 75 mph on other roads. Missouri's and eleven other states' escort tables and fourteen states' curfews were off. Michigan's Blue Water Bridge hazmat detour still used the Detroit-Windsor Truck Ferry.

    What it says now

    Washington posts 70 at most and holds trucks to 60, a 10 mph gap. The APU allowance is 550 lb (ARS 28-1100(H)). Colorado's tandem is 36,000 lb on the Interstate and 40,000 lb off it. Georgia's off-Interstate tandem is 40,680 lb. Maryland's single axle is 22,400 lb at or under 73,000 lb registered and 20,000 lb above. Utah allows 65 off freeways. The escort tables and curfews were corrected. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, open since July 27, 2026, takes all nine hazmat classes.

    Checked against: State statutes and DOT pages (e.g. ARS 28-1100, Utah Code 41-6a-602, K.S.A. 8-1558)

  2. Move-over laws, Emissions rules

    What it said

    The move-over hub gave a fine range of '$275 to $10,000' in the lead, the stat tile and the meta description, while its own table listed $20 (North Dakota) and $20,000 (Connecticut). The emissions table gave Arizona, Colorado and Illinois a 'Clean Truck Check' badge, which is California's CARB program.

    What it says now

    The fine range is calculated from the table. Those three states are shown with their own diesel programs.

    Checked against: moveOverLawsMeta.js; emissionsRulesMeta.js

  3. Regulation pages (22 sections)

    What it said

    The FMCSA hand-held phone penalty was the 2011 statutory $2,750 driver / $11,000 carrier on all 51 records. Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts were said to have no heavy-truck emissions testing. North Dakota was given as 75 on rural interstates. Arizona's criminal speed line was a flat 85 mph. Montana's truck limit off the interstate was 70 by day. Virginia was not marked as split-limit. Idaho was said not to accept equivalent traction devices. The Lowry Hill Tunnel weight ban and an I-80 Green River tunnel restriction were listed after they ended. 49 CFR 393.86 was cited as a mud flap rule. Data-build markers rendered on 67 pages.

    What it says now

    $4,812 and $19,246 (49 CFR 386 Appendix B). The four states run diesel opacity testing. North Dakota went to 80 mph on rural I-94 and I-29 on August 1, 2025 (N.D.C.C. 39-09-02). Arizona's line is 20 over the posted limit. Montana holds trucks to 65. Virginia is split on unposted secondary routes. Idaho accepts equivalent devices. Both stale restrictions were removed. 393.86 is the rear impact guard rule, and there is no federal splash-guard standard. The markers were removed, and all 1,071 records carry one live source link.

    Checked against: State codes and administrative rules; DOT and state police pages; eCFR

  4. Statistics

    What it said

    The FMCSA carrier census never included Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia or Wyoming, because the query truncated the state list at 100 groups. The national totals were missing 136,087 carriers and about 788,000 drivers.

    What it says now

    All 50 states are included, and a warning is logged if fewer than 50 come back.

    Checked against: FMCSA census (data.transportation.gov)

  5. The map: truck rules popup

    What it said

    The popup sorted and badged rules by the largest dollar figure found in the free-text fine field. Idling showed $10,000, an air-quality daily cap, where the usual ticket is $100 to $250.

    What it says now

    The fine sort and the amount badges were removed.

June 2026

  1. Chain laws

    What it said

    Vermont had no mandatory chain-up law. Washington said approved traction tires may substitute for chains on vehicles over 10,000 lb. Colorado's fine for not carrying chains was $50. Montana's fine was '$100 to $500'. Oregon's key route was given as 'US-97 Siskiyou'. Idaho listed US-95 Whitebird.

    What it says now

    Vermont has a mandatory chain-up law (23 V.S.A. 1006c). In Washington, traction tires do not substitute for chains, and the penalty is a fixed $500 (RCW 47.36.250). Colorado's fine starts at $500, not $50. Oregon's key route is I-5 over Siskiyou Pass. US-95 Whitebird was removed. The Montana fine was corrected again on September 15, 2026.

    Checked against: State DOT pages and statutes, checked 2026-06-02

  2. Interstate pages (35)

    What it said

    15 factual errors. I-95 was called the most-traveled interstate with a 15 percent truck share. I-405 at Sepulveda Pass was called the most congested. The Blue Water Bridge at the end of I-94 was called the second-busiest US-Canada commercial crossing. 33 superlatives had no source.

    What it says now

    I-95 runs about 10 percent trucks. I-405 at Sepulveda Pass is described as the busiest interstate freeway, not the most congested. The Blue Water Bridge is one of the top US-Canada truck crossings. The 33 unverifiable superlatives were cut, and 29 statements now cite a source.
