    It's a level 3 inspection you got a red light you were going to get it regardless of what he said. Now there is a thought in the back of my head telling me it was a level 1 and you just haven't realized it yet.

    That's when you ask the dot guy if you can use the restroom really quickly before the inspection. And no, don't have any idea how that guy's trailer got disconnected from his tractor. That's why you always tug test, right?


    Or you just casually ask Mr inspector "who, the guy in the *blank* truck running refer fuel in his truck?

    Good catch! Just checked the paperwork and it is a level one.

    But if I do run through that scale I've always gotten the red light, put on the scale and then sent on my way.

    Dont matter if you are good to go all it takes is one little thing they find what if you had a light go out that day and didn't know about it bang csa score takes a hit. Friends don't do that and at least my friends know better.
