    Nor would I...I asked an inspector a couple years ago that very question and he told me the the way he looked at it was that if I was volunteering for the inspection, My ducks were pretty much gonna be in a row anyway so he wasn't gonna make a big deal out of it, He was just gonna give it a look and put on a sticker.

    That's the way I would look at it too...

    Heh, I got pulled into a widespot on US58 just west of I85 in january. I was pulling a dollar general trailer and I guess they didn't realize I worked for werner. As soon as i said "paperless logs", dot man hurried up and filled out the inspection report as fast as he could and got me the hell outta there LOL....
