Even if you have no violations or just received a warning, your company must be furnished the inspection report by you the driver. The police officer gives it to you, you sign it and the company official will sign, title, and date the report and mail or fax back to the State's lead Commercial Vehicle unit, the address/name indicated on the report within fifteen days. If not when the company gets audited that is a violation noted by the auditor. And yes there are 6 current inspection levels, Level 6 is radioactive. There is talk there will be a Level 7 added soon, for motor coach.
What are DOT inspection levels?

I think it depends on the the way you conduct yourself when you walk in the door on what mood they might be in. I've always gone it with a positive additude and come out with a positive experiance.

It's a simple formula. Ok you as a driver pull into my scale, have your stuff together. Have you log book current to your last change and not falisified. Trust me many ways to verify, just how hard I want to dig. Have your seatbelt on ( about 10% drive in without, the other 50% take it off as they pull out and looked surprised when I pull up beside them half mile from the scale.) The majority of the tickets i issue are for being either lazy and not taking care of what you are supposed to do or for having a piece of junk with bad brakes, tires and any other neccesary equipment. It's like the Fram commercial a few years ago "pay a little now or a lot later."

I have been pulled over on the side of the road twice for inspection. Not for speeding or anything else.
Just because I was there and the DOT guy needed an inspection. -

They did not happen in Illinois. In fact, none of my inspections happened there. -
