First dot level one inspection!

Do I do a pretrip you ask,I do a pre and post trip.I take my dog out at the end of my driving day so while shes doing her job I do a post trip as well.So if you dont physically get under the trl and look you're not doing as proper pretrip.I don't care if you shower everyday,whats that got to do with getting violations and a questionable pretrip?lol.Sounds like you don't care about the csa otherwise you'd be doing a proper pretrip.So what if you've never got any tickets,that does NOT make you a model driver,you getting put oos and not doing pertrips proves that.

 

sammy i know were you come from trls go thru heck and back, i too had a hubcap , come off the trl tadem , that small disk, pull in truckstop, found one that was close, found some rivits in bottom of my toolbox, go get big hammer out, it couldnt be easy, as it flew off it stripped all the threads out, so hammer time , i had too go 100 miles too the yard, so i pack it tight put new cap hammerd the rivits and looked bad what a mess, but it was on there and made past the scals ,back too yard were they fixed up with new hub

 

Right but wrong.

AN LEO is gonna demand a sample be taken. You company provides you with a kit so it goes to their regular testing service and they know where to go to get the results, it is in your companies name.

An LEO can take you to a hospital or pull a test kit at a weigh station and send it to any lab and it may take them months to track down the results.

an OO should be part of a consortium and carry a kit from them but they are not required to, and neither are company drivers. It just makes more sense to than not.

 

I was wrote up but not fined for a wet wheel seal(no contamination on shoes) and an air line chafing and recieved 51 points on my csa ...

 

Never had to carry a kit have been tested, but like you it was a training thing they didn't hold me for it, Just testing the noobies on procedure. I got a perfect score and sent down the road.

 

Something sounds fishy on more then one post here.

 

Personally, I don't think you can come up with the proper readings in 5 minutes in a scalehouse office.
What if the test had come back positive? You say you do neither, but the officer says different. That's opening a can o' worms that you will never close.
