    In my 16.5 years about 11 times, only had a couple fix- it tickets, shut down(but not fined) once because i had 15 minutes left of my hours by the time he was finished, and was just getting off the ny thruway to go into the petro, and he was cool about it.

    I haven't been inside one in several years, but IA likes to check us when the new cab cards come out and the other papers. Last few times inside was POEs out west on 1 trip in 2006 or 2007.

    The fire extinguisher is supposed to be secured in the cab or inside the underbunk storage and accessible from the ground, from what I have been told. I don't know about it being in a box.


    I have never had a portable scale brought out, yet.

    If the fire extinguisher is still in the box you'd get it in from a truck stop, I'm fairly certain that's not legal. It has to be ready-to-use in case of an emergency.

    In just over five years, I've been inspected six times. Once was a full Level 1 (clean), one Level 2 (ABS light was out on the trailer, no citation, but a mark on the inspection), and the rest were Level 3s. One had a speeding violation (Ohio just wanted a reason to pull over for an inspection) and the other was "log book not current to 4 hours" back in '07, but I just got a stern talking to by the officer to make sure I keep my status updated.
