    Maybe you could say they were just doing their job... That is beyond the point... I was just saying if they are gonna be out here inspecting drivers and wasting our time , maybe they should do it correctly and fill out the paperwork so we can get credit for it...i would say that is on the verge of harrassment when u inspect somebody but dont put it on the books. Makes it seem like they are only filling out bad inspections , which wouldnt surprise me and is wrong on all levels.

    That is the right attitude, you maintain the equipment, it passed the inspection, you should get credit for it. DEMAND RESPECT

    Its hard to keep a good attitude when getting inspected and pulled over every couple weeks for no reason

    I consider passing a DOT inspection and just saying “have a nice day “ and going down the road is credit enough.
    Seems to many people want participation trophies these days.
    By the way, respect is earned not given.

    Hahahahaha getting paperwork that helps ur company safety score and ur personal driver record is a participation trophy ? Do u own ur equipment? I could see that for a company driver but for a owner op that paperwork helps your business .

    Also some drivers get paid from their company for clean inspections. You dont get that money if you dont have paperwork. Why some of u guys just lay down and bend over for the DOT . you guys are the reason they get away with this crap.
