    If your worried about an inspection you should not be driving truck. The troopers are doing their job and you should be thankful they are keeping your family safe by taking the trash off the road. It is not hard to be compliant and make a living.

    Can they possibly afford to buy some degreaser and wipe all the dirty greasy hand marks off the hood area and doors ?

    Not to mention you couldn't pay me a $100 to poke my nose through the door and look inside of them after seeing the dirty characters that are driving them.

    I had some jack wagon white Volvo riding my Butt coming up 94 into Gary with his shaking dim stock lights and his stupid lightbar lit up and blinding me.

    Soon as the governed truck in front of me got over I blasted by him than slowed down to let Jackwagon pass me.

    Now time for me to slide back behind him and position my self correctly to begin the blinding of the Sun as I light up my LED high beams .

    I don't know where our shop found these things but I think you could Vaporize small animals with these things

    I am usaully Passive Agressive but the POS white Volvos running around Chicago with those LED light bars bungied on are getting ridiculous .

    Fix the stock head lights morons.

    Any sticker is good for 90 days. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. AZ on I-40 in 2014 was non stop action all day during the blitz when I rolled through. Have never see. Any place do it like they did. Every turnout had a cop in it.

    Wish I would have known that before I started skipping pretrips for three months at a time after I got a sticker.

    I have a set of drives that are at 2/32nds. I really want to run them on down to .28712/32nds before I'm done with them. I want to get every mile i can out of these LingLongs because I gave good money for them

    I'm thinking bout barrowing some drives from the spare pile we have at work, mount them on long enough to go get a sticker, then come home and switch back to my old drive tires. DOT supposedly wont mess with me if I have the sticker is what I'm being told by Raymond Martinez as of earlier today when I called his cell phone.

    From what I gather it consists of making sure theres no empty beer bottles rolling around the floor to get stuck under your pedals.

    FYI, If I didn't drink the night before, I dont even worry bout doin pretrips nowadays.
