    Out of over thirty inspections My hood has been opend only twice and the truck gotten underneath once. the majority couldn't tell you if I had a motor except for noise and I drove up and away. Never looked at exhaust or really anything else. only try and find violations that can be done with eyes closed.
    I think they all should be arrested for filing false police reports.
    This is my next thing to do get one of these turd suckers arrested for impersonating someone working at a useful job.

    The FMCSA accepts annual inspections that meet their requirements . Utah is probably one of them .

    I've seen the stickers in various places on the trucks . The problem with the windshield is losing the sticker if the windshield is replaced.

    I didn't even have the right location. I have always seen it on the lower left of the drivers side windshield.

    I put my inspection sticker on my magnetic sign on door . that way
    I can take that crap off when I'm not under a load if I want.
    If you do your own inspection make sure you fit the qaulifactions ladi out in the green book.
    I have done inspections since they started that useless program. I was running a truck and trailer repair service then.

    if you have your own athority you can do it yourself. but most companies that your leased to require a independent garage to do them. also it looks alot better to dot if someone elses name is on the form other than yours.

    kind of my feeling on the matter too.


    Feels weird enough doing a background check on yourself and giving yourself a wizz quiz.
