    Michigan DOT has been working hard lately. I got a warning the other day for no dot tape on my mudflaps.......and I had a trailer on when he stopped me.

    How can an optional accessory... Nevermind, it's the government , it doesn't have to make sense.

    P.s. that's one I would of tried to force the LEO to make it a citation so it could be taken to court.

    Ya know, JP ... I've gotta agree with you; I drive that Toledo construction on a daily. It's not a place to play w/ limits. Additionally, a CMV killed one and critically wounded another road worker up there last year.

    @UturnGirl .. that does sound rather harsh, however. Ohio just doesn't play. Sorry about your situation. Would JBH take you back? I remember your story(ies) over there. Just a thought.
     
    mjd4277 and UturnGirl Thank this.

    They know what they're doing to you when they give you a warning.

    My favorite was when I got a warning because "your airlines touch the catwalk if I push down on them." Might as well grab the ankles at that point.

    We have these rubber mats that we are supposed to put under steel coils. I never have to load steel coils so I bungeed my mats down to the catwalk just for these situations. Now my airlines can't get damaged either.

    Piss up a rope, I'd have 3 more friends if they stopped everyone. I wouldnt have been hit twice. You got caught, no ones fault but yours. Sorry its hard to see that.

    Why dont you be a driver and say how you broke the law and the company fired you for your action. Teaching others. Instead your playing the poor me card.

    We all mess up, I'm no exclusion. But its 100% my fault. Keep crying.
