Visors? What is legal & what is not?

The answer will be interesting but I cannot see how something that obstructs vision that much could be legal.

 

In order to be legal it must not obstruct you vision while in a normal sitting position through any part of the windshield. O/O do many things that are not legal. Thats why they are a favorite target of road side inspections.

 

Virginia told me their rules was either 12" or 14" below the top of the windshield. That was a few years ago I can't remember which. I have a Panelite drop visor on an 89 379 and it was just legal.

 

do you have anything to back this claim up?
i see alot more company trucks behind the scales than O/O's

 

I didn't say scale house, I said Road side inspections. You know the ones they set up at rest ares and the such. I have been waved through more then a few so they could get to the O/O behind me with all the chrome and lites. They know there more likely to find something illegal or busted with him.

 

I wasn't aware that "chrome and lites" were illegal...

So what kinds a illegal things do we do? My DOT friend in California says just the opposite, That generally the O/O's are pretty squared away unless you're talking about the camel jockeys and their rattle traps.

According to him a lot of these fleet trucks are "easy marks" with lots of little mechanical issues that the drivers are too inexperienced to notice.
The main things he sees on O/O trucks are minor violations like straight pipes and such.

 

Chrome and lites them self are fine. It's visors to low, Wrong colored lites, Straight pipes ect...ect... I have DOT friends in OK and Wa. and they say when they see a chrome factory coming or one with more then the basic lites they see a ticket coming. 9 out of 10 times you can find a lite out, Or something out of adjustment or busted cause the spent so much time trying to make it look cool they over look the basics. Not to say all of them but enough that it's worth there time. Besides it gives them a reason to check out the truck. Of coerce they also say that there are company trucks they pull on a regaler basses as well. They love the training companies.

 

So then...What you're saying is that they pull in company truck, O/O's about equally and there's really no basis in fact for the statement that O/O trucks are somehow more prone to tickitable offences than are other trucks.

My truck has a lot of lights and quite a bit of chrome and I rarely get stopped at a roadside inspection...And when I do I'm generally out of there after about 5 minutes with no violations of any kind.
There is no way to prove that what you claim is fact but it sound like B.S. to me.

 

I didn't read that at all. I read that his DOT friends pull the o/o trucks and they also love training companies. He can't prove it but neither can you. We can do this all day.
