The Local Politicians.

@@Solitaryman70 do i send them the bill when my leaf spring breaks or airbag pops cuz of the giant pothole?

@@KamionKing Tax payers are already subsidizing trucking companies. Trucks cause the most amount of damage to roads make the trucking companies pay for it.

@@dontdoxmebro I’m sorry what??? If that isn’t a load of 💩 for today.

It's always been that way and always will be.

True

Its a money grab sorry

Nope, challenge the ticket!! I challenge every inspector. If the inspector is just throwing shit to the wind, you have every right to challenge his violations.

Moral of the story is some officers are as dirty as the politicians

i got violation for air line exposition but it was airlines in trailer tandem sliding area ,nothing important or emergency but then again it took me 2 minutes to cut that part and reconnect it he released me from being out of service but still gave me that ticket

Yep. Night shift is where it's at.

Absolutely.

😂😂 even if everything is good with the truck and trailer the y gonna said the numbers and the paperwork doesn’t match with the one you taped in log book

Thanks for confirming my assumption. 👍🏻

Except in Florida unfortunately

Only on the weekends then most scales are closed

@@1114jordan082 if drive during the day, go around scale, reroute, make sure truck can pass through, wait it out until it closes.

Holy damn I didn't know it was that bad but regardless I dont think they will and its best for drivers to just do an inspection by themselves before the dot does it

Tort Claim form in the state you had damage. Be sure to take pictures with date/time stamp. You will be reimbursed

And that's all it is

@@maxpuppy96 Oh wait.... it's not about keeping the motoring public safe from 80,000 pound trucks that can smash a little car.....hmmm, I see.

@@D_in_DC All the unsafe trucks must run the highway between 8:00 AM through 5:00 PM .

Amen Driver! The crap these four wheelers get away with is mind-blowing, they insist on us being in the wrong All the time

They do inspections on cars too.. back in mi 4 wheeler brokey days in mi original days; troopers would stop me for a license plate light and do an inspection on mi car like they do on trucks. I don't know nowadays if they still do it or if they R lazy and don't enforce laws like they did before I don't drive a car alot now because I drive a truck all Fkn week. all I know from experience I've seen 4 wheeler inspections done and that's good 👍...

​@@garyhenry3113 4 wheelers not being used for commercial purposes should have 0 inspections

​@@renesanchez2210So you're saying someone driving a dangerous vehicle shouldn't be inspected just because it's not a commercial vehicle😂😅

@dino9395 yes. They definitely should not be inspected end of story. Most states don't do inspections and everything is fine

Highway men, revenue collectors for a governmment clearly out of control. They will regulate every industry into oblivion. It's already happening.

Truth

yep, that's why my '59 mack will get a farm plate.

Livestock trucks get stopped too

@@jasoncody1537 Do they ever get put out of service with livestock aboard ?

@@vicpetrishak7705 i have been stopped but never been put outta service

Lmao

Driving a commercial vehicle, you are subject to search and seizure. The only thing you can protect is to lock your personal bag.

Not in Commercial Transportation Activities

You don't have to participate, that doesn't mean they can't do it anyway.

That’s a fantastic record!

@@TransUnitedSpecializedHauling Thank you,I was taught by my uncles who never been put out of service they have 40 to 50 years behind the wheel,always keep your truck fix and legal and never go into a weigh station when your logbook is out of hours,park it on both issues,until you and your truck is legal

​@@markboyce1001"pet pet" good boy, here's a doggy treat.

I was taught by my uncles and there friends how to drive, if something wrong with your truck, are your log book is not current, you do not roll and do not go into a open weight station.

@@Smitherrrs keep the dog treats for yourself, I have a lot of friends that never been put out of service, they also had 30 plus years in OTR driving

Lol happened to me in LA, I was fumbling for the registration dude pulled me around back, he was a nice dude tho

Yeah but it’s always helpful and only works when you look white, conservative or right wing. To a black dude, or a Latino. It doesn’t fly with us at all in fighting court

Corporations and Government working together is the definition of FACISM.

That very sad, on top of fuel cost 💲, low broker offers, additional repairs

Must have been the end of the month due for revenue

Yes get used to being a slave, so explain to me who your elected officials are representing, sure the fk ain't the taxpayers.

Rule number 1 is to keep your mouth shut. Your attitude goes a long way. Rule number 2 keep your truck and trailer clean and ALL lights working. This includes trash on the dashboard. Keep tires correctly inflated, since some scales have infrared cameras that look for soft or flat tires.

@donmunro144 sounds great. Even do all those things. New cascadia 20 thousand miles. Failed inspection because two air lines was touching. Gave me a warning ticket for using PC when I wasn't under a load. He said since I PC further away from my next pickup, it didn't look like I was hiding hours so he wasn't putting me out of service. Again. Paying fines, dealing with dot is a part of doing business. It's also strange that I don't have a problem with dot until I'm in the state the business is in.

I've been put out of service once, and after that, for the next 10 years the DOT never saw me driving into that town through main street. After that i always took the back roads where i knew none of the police wanted to go.

yeah its pretty funny.

How can they when we have a nation of tax charging slave drivers selling the training which is 3rd world and wrong. The god damn human trafficking ads youtube and facebook keeps showing needs to stop. When the employed are charging to train the unemployed is when we know society has failed coworkers. Human labor trafficking is when people train unemployed people rather than training their hired employed coworkers. The state governors need sued for their human labor trafficking of the American people. The political plaintiffs need to have the English dictionary rewritten so that the definitions of the words commercial and commerce say - unemployed license holders who are denied the federal minimum wage with no commercial place of employment to go on such a license and the unemployed individuals are expected to pay out of their own pocket for training to operate commercial equipment because it is no longer a commercial companies job to safely train employees on how to safely operate the equipment needed to sustain a commercial business. OSHA and the unions have been doing this crap too where they are charging unemployed individuals outside of workplaces for training and calling that progress to safety when unemployed individuals not even hired are being taught how to do a job by people not even employed by the job their showing how to do can't be safe. How is a bunch of private schools with teachers claiming to be commercial that charge money to show unemployed individuals how to do work for some other company they themselves have not been hired by in anyway safe? Commercial license are unconstitutional and the tax charging politicians need sued for their misclassification of unemployed individuals that do not match the definition of the words commercial nor commerce to be holding nor training for such a license without commercial employment of the federal minimum wage or commercial ownership of a business. To meet commercial standard a person must be being compensated the federal minimum wage. The feds called it the minimum wage because it is not the option wage which is why all license and training claiming to be commercial should be shut down and sued for the federal minimum wage to meet the minimum definition of commercial and commerce trading rather than only meeting the definition of slave driving and human labor trafficking. A commercial company name needs to go on commercial license to verify the workers been properly trained to operate the companies equipment rather than having a bunch of human labor traffickers failing to meet the federal minimum wage training uncompensated slaves and selling them license like tax charging enemies. Do the judges think the military ought to do like civilian businesses and take the company name off the license since it is no longer companies problem to sign off on properly training personnel to operate the equipment needed to operate a company to satisfy human labor traffickers in the ranks so they can be tax chargers selling the training. Just start charging the folks 5-10,000 plus dollars to attend basic training to learn how to serve war general George Washington's oath of issue because basic training is a school to good for the tax charging enemies not to sell like the tax charging police forces charge to attend their private ran police academies to learn how to serve tax charging politicians within the separate state political cartels? Why do yous think one county cartel prosecutes for stuff in their courts that ain't even a law in another county cartel courts and vice versa. The United States with their separate cartel pig forces has grown far foreign from being united to the oath of our constitution that we are no different than any corrupted 3rd world nation up in war with ourselves. It would be to easy for we the people to fix all these political messes of lawlessness. We would be paying taxes on our oath of issue out the end of barrels in lead and copper exchanges to the unholy tax chargers not yet shot dead full of holes. If the war vets fought and died for separate state tax chargers to tax fine and fee war general George Washington's troops then they would have called the nation the SSA Separate States of America rather United States with an oath of issue that has been hijacked by tax charging criminals within the ranks. The 3rd amendment even says to take our second and take quarters as soldiers since peace time of our war general George Washington's oath of issue has been infiltrated by unholy tax charging commies taxing our hard earned incomes away to uncompensated slavery. The founding fathers knew the unholy separate state cartel tax oppressors can go tax and enslave God when they die which is why we have the 2nd amendment to stop peoples thievery of the monetary system that caused all this ununited enslaved tyranny. Where did all the political thieves and their police cartels of today ever get the idea their oath is to tax everybody's hard earned money away rather than being united civil servants where local goes to county and county goes to state and state goes to the country command in Washington to receive their issue rather than being a bunch of treasonous criminals stealing our hard earned incomes away like god damn slaves. This oath to corruption like we have today within the ranks that have to collect the peoples hard earned income away as tax to fund their corrupted police forces that serves the people slavery since they no longer serve an oath of issue to otherwise fund themselves laying down the law in the Capital where war general George Washington the Commander in Chief head banker responsible for the oath of issue once lived is criminal tax charging treason theft of the people and not a government. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7RgmJODqJm-pWQ.html

Or run at night like a real trucker! I don’t need the DOT doing my job for me.

@@Solitaryman70 Run by the scales at night with the lights out.🤣

@@maxpuppy96 , Actually, there hardly open at night anymore, the only States that are surprisingly open sometimes are North Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky…

@@Solitaryman70you’re the reason we have the dot. I’m from Kentucky see how that works out for you.

@@andrewhatton1606 See how what works out? I retired in Jun, 2022!!! ⛳️🏌🏻fourrrrr!!

That flatbed didn't have sliding tandems.

Oh they never do... I do what I can in the time crunch but honestly I don't think anyone is paid to do a pre trip to the standard that is set...

Shut your mouth.you snitch and btch.......

I've been driving since 91 and I assure you, I don't do every step of the pretrip. Tires oil and let's ride..the doors were on when I parked the fuel tank wasn't dragging..tf else?

To busy racing the DOT 14 HR clock, apparently you weren't around before that change. Typical slave always making excuses for gov incompetence. DOT DEPARTMENT OF THIEVES

​@@fishy2939 Do you actually drive a truck?

Nope.. level 3 is DRIVER ONLY. As in you are wearing your seatbelt, are awake, and your logbook is updated and legal..

A revenue bot.

They can't. They also buy their licenses not earn them. Once caught they transfer out and come back as someone new. Its easy when there is such a huge shortage of drivers to get a job with these low class companies who just need an ass in the seat.

😂 what are you going to bribe him with to get him to do his job.

@jameskerrigan2997 that's a good one

A Lawyer. Look into CDL legal protection plans. They are like $30/mo and have a 95% dismissal rate on citations... You do see a lot of people calling them scams. However, that's usually the 5% who truly deserved their citations.

Wait til they come in with that big ole bat and handicap your ass.

Yeah if u work about 1hr a day for free

The dot can take a truck straight from the factory and find an infraction straight from a dot officer’s mouth

@@billhgffff1453 💯

Damn man so how did this situation play out for you? Did you ever get hired again

Well I would hope not... It's been 9 years since the FMCSA required drivers to carry a hard copy.

The owner but they may tell you drive it or go find another place to work. In the end though when you fail to pass inspection all fees and fines are the responsibility of the driver as he/she is the one behind the wheel.

You can only choose to no longer work for that company. You will be held responsible if you decide to get behind the wheel. Even if the owner refuses to fix the issues. At that point it is up to you to decide to quit or drive it anyways. You drive it then you face the consequences of your choice if caught. Thats it
