Got pulled into an inspection station on I5 tonight Heading south towards Camp Pendleton. The only issue was how to send our logs to the Web and not an email with Omnitrax ELD. My wife finally pulled out the instructions that came with the ELD and there it was on a laminated quick guide.
FYI, California wont accept the log emailed and it must be uploaded to the DOT website.
We now have a shiny new sticker on the windshield but the delay made us miss sunset over the ocean from the base hotel.
Received my first Level 1 inspection, thanks California

Sunsets happen everyday. Passing a CA inspection, not so much.

I can’t get them to pull me in for inspection. I’ve had this current truck for 4 years with a 2020 green sticker. Even those roadside inspection wave me on by when I thought it was going to be my day. Must pay off to keep a clean shiny truck.

Most times I’ve just handed the officer the unit and they took care of it.
Recently in NM the logs would submit but came up invalid files on his end. He let it slide and just told me to straighten it out with my service provider. Did a quick scan of my logs and I was good to go.

The last company I worked for used ‘Big Road’ every time I got inspected the trooper(Tx DPS) he asked to see my logs, I handed my phone to him, he said ‘never mind’, then continued on with the inspection.
