I think at this point we can toss the "get a job with a better company" bull out the window. Anybody who believes that line needs to go outside and look around, you've been down in the basement too long.

Dave,
As I understand it in a case like that, you would take all that documentation in with you and show DOT. They would put the equipment out of service until its fixed, not you. That equipment OOS would go against the company. Too many of those and they are out, in which case you would have to drive for someone else anyways. SO save your self the hassle and look for another company to drive for. -
No way to win on that one. Refuse to drive an unsafe truck, you're gone. Maybe not today, but you will be gone. Drive to coops, you get ticket, your rating goes down, you're gone. -

It sounds like you are a person who takes seriously, keeping your equip in top notch shape. but everything has to go out sometime. most of the time defects wil not appear while doing your pretrip. a marker light may go out while driving in detroit MI over all the pot holes. things can be fine at pretrip, then you get pulled over & you have a light out. d.o.t can still write you up & it WILL go on your record. how would you stop this from happening? -

Your bad driving record is why you can't get a job of any kind? All out of work drivers must have bad records, I see.
