Should I ask for an inspection so brokers will work with me?

I haven’t either. I drive at night. Nobody where I run is open at night. Or half the days for that matter. At this point I don’t need an inspection. Wouldn’t want one either until the engine is replaced. Too many leaks. Other than that I’d probably pass.

If you need it and are confident you would pass then go for it. But only if you really need those brokers. Thats my 2 cents.

 

I have the local CHP commercial guy come by my yard and do inspections so we get pulled over less, get your truck in order, pressure wash to engine and take it by your local scales I have even called and made an appointment you need to have reports that show you passing so that when you do get an inspections your average is better.

 

It can go one of two ways. Either you pass or suddenly your out of service rate 100%. Lol

 

Go into a scale and then pull around back and park and talk to a scalemaster.
Tell him whats up, they'll do a lvl 3, driver only.
MS will I know.

 

No, go for it.
But be well prepared.
That's all.

 

Week before last was first time I had a broker tell me that. I’m about 2 months from a year. I’ve posed this question to myself plenty of times…… I answered “ it ain’t happening “ to myself many times also. Do companies/brokers want to see you pass or at least inspections with no OOS?

 

play with fire and you get burned i think it was @bonder45 that went around and was asking scales to get inspected. maybe he has some advice for you

 

I would just find another load.

 

Well knowing area helps.
One in Caruthersville Mo, IF the young cat in the white DoT pick up isn’t there, he's like 21 and trying to make a name for himself.
One in Lula MS is good.
Young dude is just a jerk, if he cant find something he’ll write up chaffed brake line and put you OOS. For airline and said he heard an airleak that wasnt there.
