Attention All Law Enforcement Personel

I'm not wanting to tell you how to do your job... So take this how you want too....


When you decide to pull a tractor-trailer over... Make sure the operator of that tractor-trailer is aware that your wanting to pull him over.

I do not have have a rear window... I do not have a rear view mirror hanging from my windshield... When you center yourself on the rear of my trailer just a few inches from my rear bumper (just like you do with cars) I can not see you!!! I have no idea what your intentions are... Remember there is at least 53' from where I'm sitting to the rear of my trailer... All that I'm thinking is that your just another stupid 4 wheeler... I can not see your pretty blue lights flashing when your positioned just like you do when you pull over a 4 wheeler... Make yourself known & make your intentions known when you go to pull over a tractor-trailer... If you don't know how to pull over a tractor-trailer.... Then get on your radio & call somebody who knows how to do it properly....

OK.... C apish?

 

Got pulled over for coming off Mont Eagle just a little too fast! Getting pulled for that didn't bother me. But the threat from the officer did. He said he could take me to jail for refusal to stop (apparently he was behind me for 7 or 8 miles). That when I told him if he wasn't tailgating me like a stupid 4 wheeler I probably would have known he was there.... I just thought he was drafting like they do in interstate nascar..... As soon as he stuck his nose over the zipper line, I saw that I was needing to pull over.

But the point of the matter is not the fact I got pulled over.... The point actually is that they need to take a different approach with a tractor-trailer. They can't use the same routine that they do with the 4 wheelers.

 

Ummm.... I guess you didn't see the point. It's not the fact that I got pulled over.... And no, I did not receive a ticket. It is the approach that was used to pull me over.

If you had a cop centered inches from your icc trying to pull you over, would you be able to see him?

I had one pull me over in California last month. I had a empty flatbed & had no clue he was trying to pull me over. His little blue lights were in the grill & he was also tailgating me like they do with cars... The only way I knew he was trying to pull me over is because my exit was right there. I exited & saw his pretty lights.
