    I’ll take it under advisement.

    Got new stickers yesterday but I don’t think there’s any difference..time will tell. They did say that they are cheap as fluff quality and that they hate them.

    I also asked about them pausing roadside assistance. Asked if a technician got injured and they said no. Probably because of police officers getting nailed by idiots that they decided to rethink their policy.

    If you want it to stay I would cover the sticker with clear packing tape. May take some effort to remove it when the time comes.

    Thinking I’ll just leave the sticker in my truck document book. Sounds like I don’t need them on the truck as long as I have the inspection paperwork.

    Going to re-letter my truck once the DOT numbers aren’t required anymore.

    Want to give the truck a cleaner look.

    Got pulled into NM weight station today and they asked for paperwork. Did not look for truck paperwork again on inspection. I guess I got flagged because I forgot to add my truck to the NM stuff even though I have filed and paid miles each qtr for the last 5-6 years or whatever it has been. I guess each year you are supposed to add truck back on. Opps. They let me at least do it on my computer and pass without any other issues.

    On top of that while I was in the office some dude did not stop when the red light came on and they called him in to office. Dude could not speak or understand English and she basically warned him and gave him bad look. Should had put him out of service on the spot as he clearly doesn't even know what the red light means. Truck was smashed all up on driver side as well missing half the qtr panel and parts of the hood. If I had already of done my paperwork I would have taken a video of the whole thing. Freaking sad these people still get a pass.

    I always just keep the inspection sheet in my truck document folder and they normally don't ask for it like said before. Also always have the sticker on it as well. You can put some of this over it. Basically how they do all graphics.

    I should had but they were giving me a break on my paperwork. Normally I have everything perfect and would had said something. Doubt they would had done anything regardless since no officer was in the office just a older woman.
     
    Concorde and TheLoadOut Thank this.

    You'd think NM would wise up since they let Florida u-turn Singh
    go after being stopped before his genius move.

    Yep you would think so. Of course they have a video out that they released showing the guy could speak some English. Not sure he could really understand it or not. My guess is he could somewhat and is just playing the system, he was a horrible driver as It took him 10 tries to pass his test and two on the air brake test.
