If the bickering and name calling doesn't stop I can see three people being banned from participating in this thread.

I hope not me as i have not said anything bad.

If I am running local (my log truck) the DOT does not ask for anything, even when pulling an inspection.
I have been told by the now head DOT in the area, he was not the big dog when we had this discussion, but he told my I had to keep a record even if I was in my pickup going to the parts house if the parts had anything to do with the truck. I mentioned that just may be hard to prove. lol -

They simply know that there's no fish in that particular form for local trucks

I got the bang, bang on the door this morning, parked in a legal spot, in a rest area in PA...The officer wanted to pull in truckers for the scale and he wanted that first spot of the lot to do so. Not only was I jolted awake after driving late but the *expletive* wasn’t even conciliatory about it. Just a gruff, “you got to move” and even walked off to the building shaking his head like I was apparently supposed to know he was going to be there in the morning. I’ll let it go eventually but I’m still peeved at having my sleep disturbed. The rest of the lot was WIDE OPEN save one truck about 3/4’s the way down. I read today an article from 2018 that officers aren’t supposed to bother drivers in their bunks, in sleeper status or off-duty, unless they are illegally parked.—which I wasn’t. F*ckface. grrr...still mad and tired about this 8 hrs later. I’ll get over it.

They were nice enough to set everything up and then tell me to move. I just used PC and moved into a spot at 9am. Very friendly officers in WV. -
