Quick - look over there .....

I created this thread:

I know ( from experience LOL ) that car haulers have the 'occasional' problem with the DOT. Mostly because the DOT officers don't know their own rules, and when their eyes start to glaze over, they replace they're lack of education with attitude. Either way, the driver usually pays the price. Have a look at the above thread and let me know what you think. Tks

 

Nothing ignorant about that question. Usually it's too much weight on the steers, or too much overhang front or back. Some guys fudge their paper AND E-Logs and don't show enough on duty time for loading and unloading. Etc Etc. Pretty much EVERY state and EVERY province have different rules about the dimensions. My last permit book read like War And Peace !!

 

That's what we all thought .... and argued the point at the scale on numerous occasions ..... so 6 DOT guys in 2 Chargers and 2 F-150's .... all marked units for effect ..... showed up at the rail head and videotaped us for hours ..... loads, loading, truck numbers, carriers ..... etc etc ..... they never came in. They just video taped us from the street, thru the fence, which is a public street.

Ouch at the scale for awhile. Credit - they did a good job of making their point.
