Small trucking companies that will lease me on like Landstar?

Do you measure the gap between the brake shoes and drum with a penny?

 

ABS light is not OOS, nor is inoperable ABS.

Know your regs if you are going to get your own authority.

 

I use my eyes. Youi might try it some day.

SNUG MEANS SNUG.

 

Using estimates isn’t usually a problem. A DOT officer would never measure brake stroke length with a tool, and he wouldn’t measure tread depth either. Their eyes are certified. These measurements were taken from inside the scales back in July.



And I lied, my vision tested 20/13 last June. So I’m near blind. Didn’t help she opened the outside door with the sun in my face right before I read it.

 

You mean use my eyes to look at the penny while I'm measuring the gap on my brake shoes and drum?

 

In that situation maybe a little common sense should prevail by the DOT officer. You can tell if a tire has been run low for awhile by the wear pattern, and the officer should know stuff like that happens sometimes. Just like a headlight blowing or a rock hitting and cracking a windshield right before you get inspected.
