Excuse me, sir! Could I get a Level 1 right quick?

Why would he want to?

 

Yes you can, and sometimes they will do it, if they have time.
You had better make sure that everything is right before you do it though. As in brake adjustment and everything else you are supposed to inspect.
Since you will get points for anything that is wrong.

 

Still leaves the same question.

Take care of the equipment and maybe you will never see an inspection.

There are many on this board who have never had an inspection.

With the new rules coming, there are many issues that may not be properly recorded on the paperwork, let alone the vehicle inspection.

 

The only thing wrong with your theory is that ANY inspector worth his ticket book can ALWAYS find SOMETHING wrong!!! It just depends on how motivated they are or how they interpret the rules. And since ANY violation, real or imagined, does damage to the safety rating, why would you ask to get poked in the backside w/o lube???

 

First, it is the luck of the draw. You could be one that runs on two lanes and they do not work them as much. You could be driving for a company that is not on the hit list.

Paperwork is now going to be a spot lighted issue.

Sloppy paperwork may indicate that you are tired.
Failure to properly list all of the information that should be on the log.
Not neatly written. They might be wanting to see totally neat books.

It is hard to say what they might want.

 

Or your just a sloppy bookkeeper with bad penmanship skills!
(Not trying to hijack, but are kids even taught penmanship anymore??? Judging by the apparent lack of this skill in my kids, I guess not!)

 

The problem with the new regs is that it allows them to have an opinion as to the driver being tired.
