Windsmith where you speeding ? When bobtailing to get grocerys or whatever take it easy, someone might have called in on ya. Towns don,t want a truck racing around or even parking in there town. The scale master is right, you have to log, the inspection on duty. That,s the risk you take, the other option is taking a taxi , it,s not 1990. Your fair game for inspection anywhere and everywhere. The dot will cut you a break sometimes, but you have to communicate with them. Ask the dot not to put any of your personnel info on the report, like your name and lic. #. The dot was sitting on the shoulder s. of Milwaukee on i-94 e, he saw the mud flaps tie wrapped to the dot bumper- that,s co. policy when you have blow a tire and the reg. mud flaps fly off from the tire blow out. He pulled me over at the fuel island, I told the senior dot officer not to put my info on the repair warning. Because I was getting the mud flaps repaired correctly at the Chicago terminal, before I brought the container 2 the railyard. I didn,t log the stop, because my name or lic. info wasn,t on the paper work.

No speeding - holiday week blitz by TXDOT on I-20 just west of Abilene. As I posted, I wasn't the only one that was stopped. I had fair warning on the way into town, and decided to go back by the same route since I knew my stuff was in order. And a clean inspection on the books is never a bad thing. My post wasn't made as a complaint, just as an account of my experience.

I was just thinking of a reason why the dot, stopped ya. Being that you where bobtailing, the dot is very uncool today. It,s only a matter of time untill they, inspect us sitting at a dock. Ps I didn,t say that you where complaining , sorry if ya took my post that way.

i got a lvl 3 on my 14. was told ON DUTY. so that delayed my 10.

would hate to have one in the middle of my break. 10 OR 34. thinking that might reset the clock.

Ok, so I just checked my PSP/CSA score.

A clean level 3 that I received in MD on 12/14 is showing up, but this one is not. I will check again next month (inspections are updated around the 3rd of each month) to see if it shows up.

Interestingly enough, whoever entered my data for the MD inspection misspelled my first name, and entered an incorrect DOB. Now I have 2 sets of information in the database attached to my CDL number.

That is what the DataQ system is for, to get rid of inaccuracies.
