Any horror stories from the 3 Day DOT blitz 2015?

That whole pants-at-your-ankles bit started in prison I believe. It was a sign to other males that you were "available."

Had a couple family members in prison and one taught school in a prison.

Finally got flagged into a scale, i20 headed towards atlanta on Friday. I think they were standing around with their fingers up their nose though... Saw a few trucks that probably should've been pulled in just roll on through.

 

I ran NC,Va,MD and Pa all week. I got red lighted one time on I-81 at the Winchester VA scales...46800 in the wagon,got the green light!
They had a bunch of trucks pulled around back though.

 

Maybe she was a PLUMBER TRAINEE , Canada is pushing to get more FEMALES into the TRADES

 

All good on my end.

Had a easy going officer, level 1 at i380 SB Iowa scale and gave me a nice sticker and sent me on my way. Besides that while i was getting my inspection paper from the officer that was dealing with me , was interesting seeing two state troopers in that scale house arguing with each other as to why a particular driver(also a level 1) should be given a violation or not. Really wanted to see the outcome of that, it was heated.

 

I never got a second glance all week but one of our drivers got busted for 7 different violations. No log book. No 7 days, unsecured load and several others. All completely avoidable if he would have done his job. Smh

 

Sounds a lot like my ex-codriver. Wow. How bad were his fines?

 

The dot purchased a brain equipped with common sense. Only one though. They'll have to share.

 

Didn't see any extra enforcement on my routes this year, but I know they were out and about. I walked away clean but another driver from my company got busted for being 1200kg over-axle (lift axle) and he didn't have his TDG (Transportation of Dangerous Goods) certificate on his person. I believe the fines were around $1k.

 

I hope that she didn't have 12" of crack not showing, he said relatively good looking!

 

If she has a foot of crack showing... I think I would be wondering about your taste in women.
