Anybody ever volunteered for a DOT inspection?

Slap a sticker with the letters DSV on the side of ur truck and they will pull u right in

 

sure you could request an inspection.

then you know it's 50/50 from that point on.

i say check things out as best you can first, then decide.

something simple that you can take care of now, and avoid a ticket or OOS later.

then, what are the odds, that say you volunteer for an inspection, then in 3 days you get pulled in for an inspection.>???

i dunno, i do know, i never volunteered, and i ran with some very great equipment most of the times.

 

Even if the first guy passes it, the next DOT officer will point out something that failed and there ain't a thing you can do about

 

I have recieved level 2 and 3 inspections and asked to receive a level 1 instead and was laughed at.
Even at portable scales I have asked for a level 1 and never received one.
I don't think they want to give us anything that may help.

 

Yeah unless for some odd reason you get a prick inspector who will write up any little thing they find.

then what?

 

No way, no how, would I ever stick my hands into a bees nest, or a snake den, or anywhere there is no guaranty of a positive outcome.
