I actually had an experience with a pretty nice dot in that area. Was Eb on 58 east of Kramer Junction. Dot was set up there and he waved me in. I had an air leak at the fitting going into the 4way on my tractor and he wrote it up and gave me a fix-it ticket. I tried to fix it but it was a pita to get too so I went to the TA in Barstow. Since I was leaving the state I called the local CHP office and asked them how I could get the ticket signed off. The lady I talked to called dispatch and they got in touch with the cop that gave me the ticket. He told them to tell me to stay there near the shop at the TA. About 15 minutes later he showed up, check out the truck, signed off the ticket and put at sticker on the truck. I thought that was a pretty decent thing for him to do.
So I got a king pin ticket in Cali last week ??

I don’t know why you all have a hard time with CHP’s.. there the best of the best. I run 65-70(Cali is 55 max)and never have an issue. When I run a step deck, I know as fact I’m over 70’ long with my 265 wheelbase and they never look twice at me nor do they look at my king pin or bridge length. So quit bad mouthing our public servants which we pay part of our taxes to. Now profiling is another subject...... there not to crazy about out of state trucks.....

I got a cheap annual over length permit for when i do power only loads with longer trailers just to be safe but with the extra weight allowed i could probably slide the axles all the way forward and be good 99% of the time.Last edited: Jun 29, 2018
