Better save this in your bookmarks CVSA Policy on inspections.

New CVSA policy stresses that inspectors shouldn’t interrupt off-duty drivers for random inspection

 

Sounds logical to me.

 

I've been in rest areas when DOT officers came in and started banging on truck doors, waking drivers up to do inspections. We would think, they wouldn't be so ignorant, but they are and I've witnessed this happen.

 

That this even needs to be told to them tells a lot about the morons they must be hiring.

 

Ive drove past rest areas early in the morning and seen this happening... Ohio is where ive seen it the most.

 

In another transportation field I worked in, inspectors and managers were mostly failures at the actual work. After a person wrecked enough equipment they were promoted to where the only thing they could damage was a computer. And of course the entire business, incidentally.

 

I got wrote up last week for not having any windshield washer fluid. True

 

At roll call the next morning, while the other DOT officers stood at attention, he was presented with a citation for preventing mass casualties due to his diligence in noticing you had some room left in your windshield wash fluid reservoir.
