Log book Violation

NYC Inspector if you have to get into my truck to check those things then your lazy (having to sit in my seat) Those things can be checked while stand on the step. This occurs every day through out the U.S. Even KY inspectors don't get into the truck. Never in all my years of driving, I've never had a inspector enter my truck. All the inspectors that I have delt with were freindly or professional at all times, you must have a bad attitude about drivers.

 

Ezxcuse me Mr. NYC truck inspector....you are sorely mistaken. You MUST have my permission to enter my truck. If I don't allow you in my truck, YOU MUST GO GET A SEARCH WARRANT TO ENTER MY TRUCK. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!! You can detain me until such warrant arrives but I legally have the right to beat the #### out of you if you come in without my permission or a warrant because you are trespassing. Go ahead and test me on this... that's what the judge said and now one of your beloved DOT brothers from another state is working at Burger King for violating my rights.

Now let's see what your judge said .

 

You will be surprised. They have been known to use the Homeland Security as the reason now.

 

i know you're right driver!!!

 

This thread has been entertaining and informative. More entertaining than informative!

I have found that it is best to approach any interaction with law enforcement as politely and professionally as possible. I have never had my tractor searched, but have had a DOT officer sit in the driver's seat to check the low air pressure warning buzzer/light (at the I-68 EB scales in Finzel, MD).

I routinely have Troopers as escorts for my loads. As long as I am polite, professional, and have all of my paperwork in order, then things go smoothly.

Arguing with an officer at the side of the road rarely results in a positive outcome. The place to argue is in court.

 

Is correct spelling and grammar a requirement for being an inspector?I would think that like Texas law enforcement a college degree is one the job requirements and most have to take a English class to get in.Makes one wonder if this is a scam huh?

 

Depends on how much $$$ you want to spend on a lawyer. It is your responsibility to know what time zone you are in and have to log in. As for speeding, Sh## happens, welcome to the real world...

 

I agree with HeavyHaulGirl, this is very entertaining.

AMAZING the absolute garbage, with few exceptions, that is posted here. This started with a driver asking for some help and advice and turned into another trucker gripe fest. I'm not sure that the Canadian Driver ever got an answer. One thing is fact; Trooper, DOT Agent, County Deputy, Local Police, they all have a job to do and I would be willing to bet that they it has nothing to do with harassing truck drivers. They are trying to save lives on the highway!!!Yours, mine and the motoring publics, PERIOD. And all of us, as an industry, should be too. We should be very much appreciative for the job they do. We should treat them all with the respect they deserve. As a Professional Driver, they are your and my biggest Allies. This is never about your rights, this is always about the safety and well-being of people, all people. Your families, your friends, your kids, your spouses, your grandkids safety, thats what this is about.

How about this for a change, dont give a law enforcement professional a reason to stop you!!?? I know that that's a difficult thing for some of you neanderthals to comprehend but try it. Dont speed, don't be over on your log book, have your paper work in order, inspect your truck, WOW what a thought. BE A PROFESSIONAL!! Take some responsibility for your actions.

If those of you who can't stand the system and this industry then get out of the business. We certainly do not need nor want you here. It's obvioulsly way too difficult for your redneck, ignorant, backwoods minds to comprehend and handle.

One more thing for the cowards that hide behind the keyboards and microphones, step up and be men and women about things. If you have a real issue, do something other than gripe.

 

Tell us how you're going to check to see if a trailer is loaded correctly if you open the doors and there's cargo stacked to the roof? There are some trailers you are not just going to open. If I had a government load and it has seals on it and the paperwork says there must be a govenment representative there to open the trailer you're sure not going to brake the seal. You should read §392.9(b)(4). Just by you lack of knowledge here I would say you are not a quaified inspector.

I wouldn't let you into the cab because you can see what you need to see from the outside, unless I'm wrong and you show me a reference. I have run into city inspectors before and it's very rare that they know the workings of a highway truck. Besides, every inspection I've gone through the inspector always gives me instructions on what to do. So I'm sorry I just don't think you're qualified.
