I understand the go along to get along with dot. I used to be like that. I am no longer like that. I know my job, and if they choose to come at me with an attitude of superiority we are not just going to eat a #### sandwich. Don’t care if he has a badge and a gun or not. If I’m wrong so be it I’ll change things. But if they are wrong we will prove that. Maybe they won’t hassle the next guy.
65k, 4 chains, good to go

I don't like throwing extra rigging but it takes less time to throw it than to try to explain to some over-zealous DOT person why I didn't.
And it for sure takes less time to throw the rigging than it does to write out a check for a fine.Nightcrawler99, cke, wore out and 3 others Thank this. -
It’s nothing personal w900a. You do however you are happy. I grow weary of the guys who act like if it’s not overdone it’s not right. I’m not saying you are one, and I don’t think anyone here was attacking you.

I'm not the least bit offended by anything 4020, I just am getting more onry and miserable as I age, sick of it all and not interested in trying to be in some cliche that I have to agree on everything that goes on that's all. I have my ways I do things, others have theirs. My feelings were gone years ago...
You are wrong. I just said in the last post that my "buddy" which is a Vt DMV officer stated directly to my face last time he and I met up for an inspection as I kiddingly was showing off my brand new FMCSA decal to him, he said it didn't matter if I had one or not, and that VT doesn't honor them in the state. If I missed something you said, I'm sorry. I'm stating what the guy said to me that's all. And I have to live with them, you don't. Obviously one you cross into Mass., NH or NY, this goes out the window.wore out Thanks this. -
We've argued in court a couple of times and made out pretty good but arguing with the road cops is like arguing with a stump. -
I’m not saying you don’t have to have a VT sticker I’m saying it doesn’t affect us. -
Just a thought...W900AOwner Thanks this. -
This is the most sensible post I've read on this topic to this moment, and my sentiments exactly. It's not about pleasing some yahoo with a badge, it's all about saving time explaining yourself, and money and time defending yourself in court over stupid issues. That's my main motive when I go to work on a daily basis...I ain't got the time or patience to convince or change some overly-zealous pinhead with a handbook on why I do things a certain way.
Thanks REO6205; you made my point here better than I did, and without any additional interrogation, lol.
