    I don't know. One of the mods must have deleted it. I got a message that said it was moved, but I can't find it.

    I had 3 level one inspections in my first 18 months of driving, passed all three and left with a sticker on my windshields each time. I credit my diligence in performing a proper pre-trip inspection each day and correcting any issues, or potential issues, as soon as they are detected. I also due walk around's at each stop in an effort to catch a developing problem.

    It all comes down to peforming PTI's and being alert for potential problems, as everyone should be.

    The answer to this question is in step 1 to pass a level 1.

    Find a busy highway or a road that does not have a place for a safe inspection.

    You'll pass ever time.

    I've started including the CVSA OOS Criteria for cargo securement in my orientation. I'm thinking about introducing some other aspects of the mechanical side of things as well. Still working on how to do all what I WANT to do in the three days I'm given.

    It might be easier just to ask for more time at this point, lol.
