D.O.T sitting at the same spot for a week.

Can a dot officer sit in his pickup for almost over a week strait, he was absent for a day and a half from here. But it's a road to a intermodal depot owned by the cp rail. This is a two lane road that dead ends to these yards. He pulls them over before the yard and gives the lucky person a level 1.

is it legal for him to do this over and over for a month strait? It just kinda seems like harassment to me. But honestly my truck isn't junk and will dot so I don't really care I'm just wondering. This same officer passed me in September. But It's pretty ridiculous he probably gives at least 12 level 1s a day. It's also been up to -38 windchill during these inspections.

 

Yeah some morons haul heavy container loads to where he's at and they have junk chassis so I suppose its a honey hole for him. But doesn't it kinda seem like he's harassing us to some form?

He pulls them over rite on the edge of the property it's pretty pathetic. Honestly I hope tons of people lose there jobs and work. Ill be happy to haul it for more. I just hope I don't get screwed with a chassis that was dropped from my co worker that I can't fix just so I can bring it past him.

 

I just think its unfair advantage.

 

but how does it work when the shipper is 10miles away and the nearest cat scale is 25 miles. You scale at 78000lbs at shipper and are sent on your way to the rail. How does this work if they find you overweight but not over gross? Most of the tandoms don't move.

i don't like dot either but legal is legal

 

It's 8am to 4pm
