    Every once in a while, I'll be walking across the parking lot and I'll see a truck with a paper glued to the passenger side of the windshield. I don't get close enough to read it, but is that something the DOT did?

    Yes.

    One of the drivers at the company I work here went inside to get something to eat a truck stop in KY.... their truck got D.O.T'd without their presence Lol. I think it was like a "LEVEL 5" or something. So weird.

    "Level V inspections look at everything specified under Level I."
    The only difference is that they are executed without the driver present.
