Got DOT inspected twice in one day. Have some concerns.

I did get a credit card just in case im under and i can get quick cash in an event like yours. I dont know if you have one but if there is something that i learned is that i made more money working closer to home and avoiding those DOT's I got lucky because i got a tractor with almost everything replaced new when they put this tractor in the disposal list. but if you can find something closer and pays good, i would do it. Now i understand that you cant go with out a check for a couple of weeks, if i was in your shoes, i would get a credit card and pay it as soon as i can. I broke all of my credit cards 4 years ago when the economy went down but i can use it if i should need it. Good luck Driver.

 

It says no violations found? But you said he got you for the tires, he didnt put that stuff on the inspection report?

 

Check your DOT safety records in 90 days, warnings do go onto the CSA and you cannot fight or contest a warning.

 

could of been worse they could of said you are out of service for many things that their imagination can create.for those that believe that DOT are just doing their job keep reading.there can not be this many drivers complaining about it unless there is some truth in it....bubbles on a pitman arm,really?thanks cali dot

 

This is where I got my information.
A few bald spots are usually the result of cupping, or from being slid. The only other way is for a tire to be worn completely down to the cords.

 

Which was my point on the last page about it being subjective...and to which at that point I didn't want to bicker with the poster. Just because it has to be "quantified" don't mean theres a golden rule on how quantifiable it is or needs to be... you can have one lug for example on the tread of a tire that is a bit worn down, or an air hose that has the potential to rub on a spash guard but isn't, nor is it close to touching and has no evidence of having touched (one I was written up for)... and they can call it a flat spot or say it was rubbing even though its not (bad examples but the point can be ascertained), which makes the rule, and thus the decision making process... subjective. Our entire legal system is that way. There is NOTHING in black and white... its all gray.. and CSA was written that way, i'm sure, for that particular reason. And, don't get me started on the lack of due process in CSA....

My apologies for having hijacked... it was just sort of on topic...
