    whatever,it's a fact.They need revenue and will not stop inspecting till they find something.That's their job.If you've been out here long enough then you should know many officers are nit pickers.

    I plan to roll as hard as I can. Been off the road going on three weeks due to surgery to remove tumor from left kidney. I have a follow up with Dr. on Thursday. Hopefully I will be cleared to drive commercially. Truck and trailer should by ok. Let's roll.

    I plan on being out. Just two a two-week vacation timed with my wife's employer. Otherwise, I would opt for being home. No sense getting inspected by the guys who NEVER do inspections except for three days a year.

    They will find what they want to find

    So true - how many times have we seen the guy with the attitude that then gets the rubber glove treatment. Even when I know I'm hosed (like the recent over weight ticket I got a month ago) I was still polite. Still got the ticket but that was it. Guy in front of me got the ticket, Level 1 and placed OOS. He was calling them all type of names on the CB that the DOT could hear.

    It is because any current sticker and not inspecting is a courtesy. The sticker works in place of an annual DOT inspection. Seems every state has different standards when they see the sticker. CA once was 90-days but CO didn't care. When your number was up they pulled you in.
