Being pulled over by law enforcment.

I was pulled over by dot in TN, I was pulling up a hill and I saw him come up behind me and put his lights on, I wasn't doing anything wrong, he just wanted to do an inspection right there,

I `have recieved tickets just because I am from out of state, for stupid things, because they know that most truckers from out of state won't bother to fight the ticket,

One time was in PA, I pulled out to make a right turn, a cop was sitting on the shoulder about 100 yards to the right of me, I made my turn, the cop came after me and put his lights on and gave me a ticket for failure to yield. He said that the car that was behind me had to put his brakes on, I asked him how he knew that since he was in front of me, he wouldn't have seen if the car had to put his brakes on, he didn't answer. I have seen a cop in that same spot several other times targeting out of state trucks for the same thing, so tell me that is not a set up.

 

I've been lucky enough not to be pulled over in a truck. In my younger days as a 4 wheeler, yes... but the cop just wanted my phone number! *rolls eyes*

I'm sure they like to be... ummm...random, to say the least.

 

my uncle works for the dot and some of the stories he tells me are quite funny and ridicules on the drivers part.
