    Every time I've been stopped the bears always did an inspection in conjunction with the stop itself even if the reason for the stop was for a moving violation.

    I guess different States train the Troopers to do them.

    I respect the license, it’s my livelihood. Sometimes people are in the wrong place at the wrong time or just run into bad luck. The first one I was doing 51 in a 45. Second one 62 in a 55. Nothing outrageous and I was actually trying to get away from a cluster of cars. That’s why this pisses me off. I’m a #### good driver and been running awhile. 1st time I’ve had any issues

    You're never going to be the fastest so it's easier and better to be the slowest. The cluster will always find you unless you slow way down. If you're slow, everyone else will blow your doors off and you'll almost never be in a group.

    And believe it or not, you won't lose much time, if any. Instead of stomping the throttle then having to break hard you'll be steady.

    You'll also save fuel and reduce the potential for damaged freight, which your company will appreciate. If you become an owner you'll also appreciate it because that's your bill to pay.

    Thanks for the advice, I’m not a rookie. Sometimes going faster keeps you out of harms way. Same as going slower

    Not sure I'd consider losing my job staying out of harm's way.

    There are millions of companies that don't care about your dac or psp. Most are local. Dac and psp are meaningless to them.

    Dot never shuts em down.

    I lose my job every other day if it keeps me from getting tangled up
