    How exactly did you interpret my last post as an insult? I was saying maybe you should be given the benefit of the doubt. I was in law enforcement for a long time, I gave more warnings than I did citations.

    I’ve had flats too that I only found when I stopped, you can’t tell there is a problem with a flat when driving unless it’s on the steer axle or it blows out.

    I was just mainly trying to get information on different companies that are similar too Landstar. I wasn't asking anyone on how to do a proper pre-trip or how to check my tires, lights, air lines, etc.....

    I've done law enforcement myself as well, I even have a few guys that do DOT inspections, and just like you. I've given more warnings than citations as well mainly because when things happen while driving a motor vehicle, it is possible that the driver was unaware of the equipment malfunction that happened while driving down the road. Could Ohio gave me a warning for riding on a flat tire that I had no idea nor did I feel it being flat after I checked it in the morning to only notice that it was properly inflated, the beeding was properly seated on the rim and that their were no cuts nails holes or frayed chunks in on the rubber. It's possible, BUT he placed me out of service. Is it fair? In my opinion no, but he has a job to do just like all of everyone else, and at the end of the day I still respect him. If half the regulations were not in the FMCSA manual their wouldn't be a need for all the CMV enforcement.

    I just wont be coming here for advice anymore I'm done with TTR.
