Roadcheck 2014

You know....when the former VP is attempting to dance around an issue.....

 

Alright...Good thing google is my friend....May have to add to my friend list..

 

actually, you and all the others are making a big hoopla.

i merely made a comment. that's it's no big deal. it happens 3 times each summer season. that makes 9 inspections that i've participated in. and have yet to see a party. therefore, you all are making a big deal over nothing.

 

You do? I don't. A quarter of the trucks that I pass on the highway I believe are going slow because any faster and they would fall apart. I wish they did this 3 times a year to keep the junk off the roads. And I wished they didn't announce it. If your doing your job you don't have jack to worry about.

I've been fully inspected 6 times, and many more paper checks, since this CSA stuff and my score is still 0. Do what your suppose to do and you'll stay mint. I don't mess around AT ALL with stuff. I REFUSE to take a truck or trailer down the road if ANY little thing is messed up, because at the end of the day its my license. My company makes enough money, so when I go to pickup a trailer that the last driver left with all kinds of issues, guess what? I call the company and tell them to send a service truck with x, x, and x to fix it because im not rolling anywhere with it like it is. I don't care if they find a garage 5 miles down the road, "Cool he'll be here soon then? K Thnx."

People really need to stand up. So many drivers are afraid of dispatchers or what not. I hold the number 1 card. "I Quit"

 

Dream on,we all know that'll never happen,lol.

 

By estimating from statistical data.

"Since its inception in 1988, roadside inspections conducted during Roadcheck have numbered over 1 million, resulting in more than 301 lives saved and 5,530 injuries avoided."

The metric might consist of examining 25 years of deaths/injuries statistics the week before and after Roadcheck weeks.

Of course a decrease in those numbers could be at least partially attributable to steering wheel holders/professional victims who know they and their equipment are unsafe and stay off the road those 3 days.

I'm pretty sure commercial airline pilots don't have a forum where a single pilot has ever complained about suffering a "ramp check", or the FAA "Sterile ####pit" reg.

 

They take the average number of people shot or ran over by officers usually assigned to patrol duty and multiply by 3.

 

Lots of inspections going on east of Boise

 

It's called rolling road blocks. Check tag, license, and whether you seem drunk or smell of illegal substances.
