First Inspection Today

Great job... let me guess Cortez scale?

 

I'll bet Loma

 

As long as your paperwork is in order and you aren't cheating the logs, you won't have any problems with level 3 or 2... level 1 is just a brake stroke check with all the other requirements as level 2 and 3.... Nothing to worry about if you take care of your equipment... 11 warnings and 3 eld violations sounds like that truck and driver has no business being on the road...

 

That was someplace in the neighborhood of 120 csa points from a few of the things she mentioned, maybe even more.

Her carrier needed to rent a backhoe to remove the pile of #### in their office when they saw that one.

That's like violations for a fleet of 80 to 100 trucks if they all got inspected.

 

I got pulled in leaving Pueblo at a roadside check a few weeks back, just east of town in a wide Y of the highway.

Lady Trooper walked around the truck and trailer, so i got out to ask if she needed me to do anything.

She said "When was your last level 3?"
"Not sure mam, I've got a sticker on the windah, and papers in my book, let me grab em"

She looked at em, and said "Yep, it been almost a month since your last one. It's about time."

I said "So inspections are like a mortgage? Due every month..."

She told me to leave

 

This the best way to be. I am always overkill when it comes to paperwork. Have a 3 ring binder with everything in sheets. mulitable years on everything as well just to show back paperwork if needed for some reason.
