dot printer not alligned...???

so I got pulled in for inspection today...

truck is good, trailer is good, electronic log is good, you'd think I was good also...?

oh no no nooo.... son...

there are two vertical lines on the shipping paper disignating the hazmat column.

should read, "line" X "line" or else "line" RQ "line"

should never read, "line" R "line" Q.

as in the paper was was miss alligned a quarter inch in the printer...

dot says... now I know what that is... but its all gotta be inside the lines... somebody else might misread it.

?????????????????? yeah.... I suppose that could happen *smiles* I'll jump those guys when I get back to the shop...

ok... I'd appreciate it... ohhh hold on.. we're not done... I still have to write you a warning on it...

?????????????????????????????????????????????? no problem officer....

*thinking to myself* you're kidding me right???

no, he was serious... lol

and... other than this... what a wonderful day...

This is why I have so little respect for the IA DOT. Absolute BS is all that is. Because his "Billy club" hasn't grown much since the day he was born he has to make up for it by acting like a large...billy club. His small lumber causes you to lose out on getting a few bucks for a clean inspection. Friggin' bull.

ok??? so I get paid right?
