I need to get some Roadside inspections

Send your trucks to California, trust me they will be inspected especially if the driver ask!

or

I remember my brother and I had some issues when he was contracted on with Landstar too and my brother called I think DOT or MD DOT and we brought our trucks to the weight station on I-95 and parked them there for a day each on different days and they used them to train DOT cops from around the country cause the school is just down the street and all the trucks were inspected. I would ask my brother but he pasted away from ALS.

 

Have 3 logbooks on your dash when you pull up to the scales, that will get the unwanted attention you desire.

 

Just one more reason I sold all my trucks and dropped back down to a single truck O/O..
Pulling in and waving your arms to get inspected is never a good idea it can always go both ways.

 

Make sure your company information is current in the DOT database. Number of trucks, number of drivers and miles driven per year will affect what 'peer group' you are placed in, and will affect your percentile rank as a carrier. Being in the correct grouping may significantly affect your percentile rank.

 

This has to be the first time I've actually read that somebody wanted to get inspected. I sit there and dodge all the scales I possibly can and this guy wants his drivers to hit every scale they can. And it's going to rasie a red flag with DOT here pretty quick why a driver is actually ASKING for an inspection sorry just don't make sense to normal people. Although it's rather surprising that DOT officer's aren't inspecting you all the time if your record is as bad as you say it is. On the bright side all you have to do is send him through the super coop over there in IA they'll give him an inspection...can almost guarentee you they'll hang an out of service tag on his truck too.

 

i've been told by a couple of states. that they dn't don't them anymore just becuase the driver wants them. could be that way with most states now.

and cali doesn't inspect me. not even the highway patrol in that state.

all my bonuses have been compliments of highway patrol in other states. i'm trill trying to figure out the trick to getting a scale to inspect me.

 

Condolences on the passing away of your brother, may God be with him, may he rest in peace.

 

Personally, I would want the trucks to be in excellent condition, while simultaneously avoiding the scales as much as possible.

 

Sounds like you need to take better care of your equipment and stop putting it all on your drivers. You won't last long.
