    I’m sure Montana is like all the other states, if you get a clean score it’s on the computer and everyone that has a need to know your safety score can get it with just a couple of clicks.

    And when ur running local and regional loads. That 30 minutes to an hour out of your day spent being harrased by dot for no reason. It ####s up all your loads. U otr guys it dont matter but when ur doing 100 mile loads or less and have 3 or more loads a day. It throws a wrench in the whole schedule . all for what ? Not even to get credit for a inspection?

    So by your logic @mustang190 they should only fill out bad inspections . so your company never has the ability to improve its score and you as a driver when u go to another company to get hired and they pull ur personal record and all they see is bad inspections and 0 clean ones.... Oh but they told u have a nice day on all ur clean ones.... But guess what its like it never happened if theres no paperwork. I believe in standing up for myself and holding people accountable for their job even if it makes me look like an ####### or is viewed as me being an entitled prick

    F Montana/Wyoming both.
    Every freaking winter when the roads are icy they want you rolling into the port of entry but don’t even have the common courtesy to plow/salt their lot.
    I pulled in the first time and almost got stuck, now I won’t pull in if I can’t see that the parking lot is clear.

    I haven’t been over a set of portables in 9 years. This was this morning on US 80 in Alabama, I blame @D.Tibbitt. 33169FBF-5541-41E3-9146-172CB80E73D6.jpeg
