$2800 log book violation ticket

It must be a new thing. Not many scales around and then they start looking at the bridge. Illinois, now little California.

 

Dumb move. There was a bridge right next to the shipper's driveway. He missed the driveway and went over the bridge. The recently marked, 10 ton bridge. The recently marked, 10 ton bridge, with a cop conveniently waiting on the other side. The shipper told him afterwards that a loaded truck the week before had been given a $10,000 ticket.

 

Dang... did he get a 2 for 1 and go back over it to the missed driveway????

 

That I can understand. They love the lower weighted roads. I thought you got it at the scale.

 

Thankfully, he only does dumb things once, then he learns.

 

Loose brake chamber is a completely different out of service violation than brake adjustment & it took quite a while to become loose..........much more than 3-days ago.

 

Just a small difference in "brake chamber" and "slack adjuster".....NOT....

Goes right back to the "lack of training" in most CDL sschools, along with trainers not doing their job of continuation training after school.

 

First of all, how long have you been driving? The loose brake chamber is yours! Ever hear of a "Pretrip"? to be done EVERYDAY? The log as well, your supposed to know the rules you drive by. Not sorry fou you. Pay the fine and do your job.
