DOT Inspection

Always keep your PSP Score and PSP points to a minimum.

It will increase your chances of being hired. Plus it's good for your ego.

 

Well they mean something cause since I got mine over a year ago, I haven't had an inspection....

 

And I haven't been inspected in 5 years without a sticker. Your point?

 

Your probably local.
My point is it tells the officers you have been recently inspect..

 

I am, and I was being facetious. But even OTR I went a year without getting an inspection. And even "local" I ran over scales on a daily basis for a couple of those years.

 

Lucky you.

But it don't mean anything. You can still get inspected 5 minutes later.

I got inspected 2 scales in a row. With a newish FL and trailer.

 

I had the same thing done to me on the second one I told the officer that I had just been inspected. He replied let me see your paperwork, he reviewed and replied, driver you mean to tell me that I won't find nothing wrong with your truck. I replied no Sir just stating that I just got inspected..
Gave me my paperwork back and politely told me to get the hell out of dodge...

 

I actually inquired about this issue and found that a few other businesses had this same issue. Drivers won't be aware of it depending on what app they're accustomed to using. For example Samsara won't put you in drive mode when you move the truck, so if you go to keeptrucking and it does the same thing you're not likely to question it. So my issue is, it needs to be made aware to drivers of smaller companies that if your keeptrucking app isn't putting you in drive mode to call your dispatcher and immediately have it fixed to avoid any roadside issues. This is a site to help drivers and I feel this is worthy enough to be mentioned.

 

I've been pulled in/over for inspections maybe 6 times in my nearly 10 years out here.

Pulled over once when I was hazmat.
That went better for me than the officer.
I followed him to an inspection area and he began the inspection.
Then he got stung by a bee and started feeling queasy, so he finished it pretty quickly and cut me loose.
