First Level 1 Inspection

I got wrote up for this one about a year ago. That particular member of Maryland’s finest has an obvious hardon for LTL trucks and grabbed me 4 times in a month once.

I think the prick sported wood when he saw my “dangerous” placards and figured he’d get to ding somebody for a hazmat violation, got mad when he couldn’t find one, and resorted to pulling the cheap “chafed air line” card that you can probably write up 90% of the trucks on the road for.

 

You or your company can DataQ the violation. But it will be sent to the same guy that did the inspection so chances of him overruling himself are slim.

^^^This. Always ask to see the problem so you can get it fixed.
And the inspectors at the California scales with the inspection bays are not DOT cops. Just paid to inspect trucks. Unlike the ones that run around in the pickup trucks. If you would have been given a ticket it would have been written by a real DOT cop

 

Implied consent, just like for a DUI checkpoint.
