    The lack of numbers is no big deal, but a logbook ticket is big (from a csa/iss standpoint). Worth a trip or lawyer...

    Course you're right you still have to fight dataQ

    As you know, CSA is about trending. That is, indicators of safety and crash likeliness, and not actually a measurement. So we'll never actually know how much safer we all were when Danny was busted and forced to take a 10 in Ohio. Then later potentially increased insurance premium and additional scrutiny from customers over the next two years will certainly prevent another dangerous unlettered truck from entering the freeway next to a bus load of children or old people.

    that's one of the ironies. this truck was probably in the best working condition of any to pull through there that day. and the driver had slept in a hotel the night before and only driven 2 hours, probably the least fatigued safest to pass through as well. seems to me we used to consider the INTENT of the law more. Now it is all about the LETTER of the law.

    but even breaking down the letter of the law, was this a vehicle used for transport of property when pulled in ? I say no.

    well Ofc Jaime Nunez contradicts himself because first he states every "commercial" vehicle must stop. The point of "not for hire" is that it is not commercial. commercial = for hire. Sometimes I think nobody ever bothers to go to a judge to get a ruling on these things, so the cops wind up operating outside of the law in their own ignorance for years !

    Commercial vehicle doesn't neccessarily only mean 'commerce'. It is just a word they use but the definition for our purposes has to do with Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 10,000 pounds which puts it in commercial territory for law enforcement.

    I always read that as "truck" meant being used for profit.

    Whenever i've brought trucks back I never stopped, never been chased down yet. knock on wood lol
