New York State DOT inspection gone WRONG!!!!

I cant remember where I heard or read about the scam... Its like searching a needle in a haystack. I tried with no results.

Its very fishy indeed.

 

I've worked for several tow companies that had service trucks - doesn't it makes sense that the guys who do heavy towing also do road service calls.?.. in case a problem can't be fixed on the road and a tow is needed?

 

Also, most tow companies work on a rotation, whether it's a one car accident or 4 cars - the first company on the rotation list gets as many as they can handle and the rest gets handed off to the next company. Same with service calls.

Not many companies do service calls - and not many heavy tow companies in any one given area - usually not more than one or two, unless in a big town.

Not arguing or defending, just for clarification.

 

I agree thats BS, but rule #1 NEVER STOP IN A REST AREA WHERE THEIR DOING INSPECTIONS...

Keep on trucking. I was sweating it on 81 north at the 61MM, it was 0800 and they just opened up.
I said GREAT I'm going to be their first victim, But i had my seatbelt on and he saw my ELOG sticker and waved me on thru. WHEW i was sweating bullets
I kept on going and waved at him and said I'LL BE BACK

 

Once the LE got to the point of being a prick, I would have requested HER supervisor, they have to comply, if you didn't want to ask her(or him next time) call them yourself or have your company call...Not sure if this was your case, but during the only level 1 I had I had to sit in the truck which I think is BS, we should be able to watch them for our protection...

 

I was cited in Tye, Texas for using a city street to mail a letter in the local Post Office. (Bobtailing) I parked near the City's firetrucks (they were parked in the open at the time). The Tye cop, Jeff was so aggressive angry and over-the-top that I whipped out the disposable camera Safety gave me for pics of accidents. I got some truly PRECIOUS pics of red faced Jeff screaming at me to "Put that camera away NOW !!"". It was sweet revenge for the citation he issued to me to rip off a roll of pics and give them to a local lawyer. He agreed that they were really cute, Jeff looked like a Meth addict coming down off a long bender. Well, the Tye city Judge refused to dismiss it, so we took it to the county level. It was dismissed while my Attorney and the District Attorney had lunch the day of my trial. Oh- I was cited for violating the "City Ordinance" preventing truckers living in Tye from parking their cabs at their homes. Jeff was livid when he got the news.
