Weirdest violation on DOT inspection

Did you go through a tollbooth without getting a ticket?

 

Lol its because its jersey.... they cant do nothin right

 

Right, but I've been in Jersey a gillion times.. in fact, in 2007, drove for a local company in Lansdale, PA and delivered off exit 12 of the NJTP.... never heard of this before, and went through several DOT/NJ DPS checks right off the exit. I was at C&S Metro 3-4 times a week.

 

Supposedly the State of Maine will hit you with a "unsecured load" fine if you have loose dirt on your trailer landing gear.

 

Only thing i can think of , i worked for this o/o, my truck was in shop, and nobody drives his truck, it's a more a show truck kenworth , gold and chrome everplace on the truck, inside was spotless with the chrome dash stuff around gauges , all worthless too me, but shure loks pretty, i call them sissy truck's, great i have a hot load going too calfornia and no truck, but since i've been with him awhile, he toss me the key's, i hate them truck's, every fuel stop, every truckstop, ton's of driver's gotta come over and shoot the well u know, im a normly shy , quite type, get the work down, get outa there type,anyway i almost made it, got utah scale pulls me around back,she was looking at my truck thru her bincholors at my truck, i asked whats wroung, we cant see your dot numbers, they were glitter gold too macth the glitter gold truck i recieve a warning and long letter saying that numbers must be this that at 100 feet , that why she looking thru them and still couldnt see em and let me go , hand the letter too the owner and he change out too a whiter brighter gold m i told him she wanted white, well this what she getting, o-boy

 

While it doesn't surprise me that certain jersey cops would try writing you up for not noting time etc..it is BS---but if you want a laugh--next time you are up there(preferably late at night)pull over before the toll booths(getting on)and read the signs stating the rules on the turnpike--it is afull size highway sign-(with small print--lol)-that I suppose you are expected to read as you pull into toll booths

 

Wasn't a violation but during an inspection in southern Ohio on SR-50 a DOT officer made one of our drivers "discharge his fire extinguisher to prove it worked" So to avoid a confrontation he did it, which of course makes it worthless. His supervisor got a pretty interesting phone call from my uncle. We received an apology, not sure how your supposed to put a fire out with that but I'm not a "trained officer of the law". I suppose if I ever get a ticket for a bad extinguisher I'll offer the cop an apology instead.

 

this is true 'olhand, i noticed those signs coming out of ny on the pike... its actually a big sign and the lettering is pretty big...
iv always wondered about it, if they actually enforce it, and supposedly they do, had a local driver get hit for it...
they also have a " Truck Network " as well.... dk what that means, but i know in VT if your off the " Truck Network " you get in some trouble... happened to me.... 3 days oos waiting on VT to issue me permits, i didnt mind of course, i was getting paid by the day at the time....

 

I personally think he "forgot" to get a ticket from the entry toll or his E-Zpass wasn't working. I can't think of any other scenario that warrants his story.

 

I know a guy that (oops, broke the OP rules), I do it all the time, lol. But he got a ticket for gravel on his landing gear.
