    without DOT inspectors, we'd have a bunch of crackheads driving illegal and unsafe equipment . you guys are just hating on my ambition to change my life and the world of safe transportation.

    Alright guys...chill. Better off having someone who knows the career and the troubles versus some prick that thinks it's just easy money and has something to prove. Just saying.

    Some of us like to tease and kid though...myself included.
     
    Big Don and p47 Thank this.

    Just letting you know when you get your dot job you nd us are not cool no more you will automatically become my enemy because you gonna think you are this nd that, don't do it for the money do it for a good reason which is to get bad drivers off the road with unsafe equipment nd everything. A state trooper struggles a lot to make 50k that's why they get upset about me bothering them with my speed just saying.

    Look at the states employment website. They will put through training and such. The money is not everything in life, however I know a lot of DOT people do ok because of overtime...

    DOT is the enemy. Who would have thought i would clean up my life, go on the straight and narrow path only to hate authority all over again.

    DOT + trucker = oil + water.
