[QUOTE="REO6205, post: 10522423, member: 137130"]LOL...he was disappointed. He figured one of Mike's truck [I]had[/I] to have [I]some[/I] kind of violation. Spoil sport. ;) On another note about Truckee. I went through there with an empty fuel tanker and they pulled me in. They were training a new guy. They found a fitting leaking one drop every four minutes. The drip was falling into a rock guard that was full of dirt and nothing was even hitting the ground. Yup, they timed it. And they wrote me up for a haz mat violation. They took pictures, drew diagrams, the whole nine yards. I took up the packing nut about a quarter turn and the leak stopped but they held me an additional hour to make sure. We went to court on it. The judge looked at the pictures, the diagrams, and listened to our side of the story. His actual words were "This is ridiculous", gave the citing officer a little lecture about wasting the court's time and threw the case out of court. From then on, for about a year, we got stopped and very carefully inspected [I]every single time we went through [/I]Truckee[I] .[/I] Like I said, no sense of humor.[/QUOTE]
