Those who run gliders.....

I agree, I carry a copy of the law as well.

 

I got level 3’ed in North Dakota about a month ago and that’s the first time I’d been bothered by anybody about anything in literally years. I can only remember one time getting level 1’ed…81 northbound in VA about 10 years ago. One time shortly after that EPA was sniffing tailpipes in NJ at the I-78 westbound scale house. That was interesting.

 

Problem is they can just decide to ignore anything you hand them and say I've never heard of it so here's a violation. Georgia trooper stopped me while oversize and was questioning why I wasn't taking half hour breaks the last couple days. When I explained the exemption to him and even showed him the letter from FMCSA and a copy on their website he just said I was lying because he'd never heard of it and wrote it up on the inspection. I was able to get it removed afterwards with a DataQ.

I could've made a bigger deal out of it but it wasn't worth the time to argue with someone who wasn't interested in listening on the side of the road.

 

Lol that sucks. Make a new sticker that it was built in 99, nobody gonna check anyway

 

It goes by engine build date

 

Just put this engine is a non-binary asylum seeker.

 

This is from the FMCSA website. It says 2000 model year, not build date. If someone could share something different, I'd love to see

 

Edit: posted same info at the same time as above

 

I have this special needs friend who knows to call at bad times. He interrupted my posting it, and then I forgot for an hour.

Take away is 6NZ is not an ELD exempt motor.

 

I think you’d really have to mess up to have them digging past what the tag on the engine says though. If they’re splitting hairs that deep I’m guessing a paper log is going to be the least of your worries. Lol
