Ok so back in 2017 I got a citation for not wearing my seat belt in my Rig ( I had it off to adjust my seat cushion). Well wouldn’t you know it. It was national seatbelt safety week and a sitting trooper, I suppose, was specifically looking for that particular offense...
Anyway. Im looking for a new job. And when they pull my mvr report. They’re gonna see that
But it doesn’t say “no seat belt” . It say “improper equipment”. This is Pennsylvania by the way
Now if I’m asked about it. I don’t really want to tell a new employer who is big on safety that I wasn’t wearing a seat belt. So is there something that I make up and say that can also mean improper equipment that doesn’t seem so bad. What are other things a cop might notice and cite me for under the improper equipment guideline....

missing a safety triangle?

Yea, lets just start by lying to the company...
Answer what is asked truthfully, but don't volunteer information. What I mean by that is the guilty plea (and paying a fine is pleading guilty) is for equipment. Just stick to that, they don't need to know your life story. -
The truth shall set you free. I highly doubt they will deny you over a seatbelts ticket. They will lecture you probably. Just keep your seatbelts on

Just be honest and then you don’t have to worry about something coming back to bite you.

A trailer marker light was out. It was working when you did the pre-trip.
Some companies look at seat belt violations as equal to running a stop sign and crashing into a bus load of nuns carrying orphans to Disneyland.tscottme, HoneyBadger67, x1Heavy and 1 other person Thank this. -
