Regarding Violation on a DOT Level 2 Inspection

Thanks for using the word "allegedly"... I appreciate that. Myself and the other three trucks all pulled off onto an exit ramp, which had a reasonable median and all trooper vehicles had their lights kept on. Inspections are about everyone's safety, so I'm fine with them as long as we're off the highway like we were. Also, IF the other trucks were speeding and unsafe then maybe they were issued violations that were deserved- I don't know. In my case, I don't think he got a "clean" radar read on my truck's speed due to the pickup that was flying in the left lane next to me. He seemed pretty cool, and was definitely more wanting to do an inspection rather than issue a ticket. Noting his suspicion of speeding on that report was weird, though... maybe it was protocol. Anyway, I respect that he explained the lack of consequence to my or my employer's record.

 

Wrong... not on my PSP, and wrong that you "assume" I was speeding. In fact, I asked for a speeding citation specifically so that I could dispute it- since I can't dispute a warning or item listed on an inspection report. Thanks for you concern about future employment... but I'd rather drive for a company that trusts and supports its proven safe drivers rather than ignores them and doles out misery to them for unproven, alleged infractions that have no consequence to them.

 

CDL-A/driving for 8 years, no reportable accidents and never a CSA point to any employer. No traffic infractions since 2009 but, yeah, that was a 54 in a 45 in my pickup. Also, never been to court or ever needed to dispute anything. My OP seems to be interpreted by many as whining, or not accepting responsibility for my actions... totally NOT me. I suppose that being condescending to others makes "accusers" and "assumers" feel better about themselves. I'm not angry at all with my former employer- just disappointed, and I consider the issue a misunderstanding. Many take issue that I resigned... SO WHAT? It wasn't "retribution"... it was my decision, calmly made, that they didn't meet my expectations in how this matter was handled. No hard feelings between us, and I'd never badmouth them... I liked working there, otherwise.

For the record, though... I would never take a job driving a truck governed at 64- it would make me unhappy. But that's a topic for another time...

 

Ahhh... you know the area well- yup, right near Marker 95. I wonder if that construction will EVER be completed. I don't see many trucks speeding through there- they know better... but the 4 wheelers are maniacs!
