    Don't forget to volunteer at the scale or whenever you see a DOT officer to maximize the bonus.

    Thank you but I don’t need the levels of inspections explained to me.

    The fact that a level 1 involves much more than a level 2 or 3 is why I said what was posted made no sense to me and the poster I quoted acknowledged that he had reversed his information.

    Its come down to that now! The company pays a driver who gets a clean inspection. So drivers have to get off thier butt and DO what thier supposed to do in the first place for the reward. I guess shelling out 50 bucks is a lot better than thousands. What a concept. If only we can find a way for them to pay us detention without the fight.

    Bro works for a small family owned in OH, Mad River Transportation. $100 for any level. He says it would be great, but their CSA scores are pretty good and they never get inspected! He's only made $200 from inspections in 5 years.

    Yeah. $300 each at Team ProDrive. But it's not like we're getting inspected. I've only had 2 in 8 years. Both level 1.

    We get $150 for level one at Steelman. I think it's $100 and $50 for a 2 and 3.
