    Lvl one is the full inspection. Underside, engine compartment, brakes, etc...

    Lvl 2 is kick.tires and lights

    Lvl 3 is driver only.


    Trooper was actually really nice. I asked a couple questions and got straight answers. He was more thorough than california was last year. He checked my steering slack, popped my glad hands off to check air flow stopped and red button popped out. Actually had me pump brakes until buttons popped, cali didn't do that. But my truck and trl were good. Truxk was just services and had a new usa inspection. Trailer was new. I went over both pretty good last night and this.morning. something told me be extra vigilant.

    I never said that I didn't know the difference. All I said was that the DOT has never actually done a full inspection on me but wrote it off as such.

    It's all about the impression you make on someone. I'm just a natural salesman.

    they might need to move you to the office then if that's the case and have you hustle up some new accounts for USA Truck then lol.On another note I was told yesterday while I was in the office that we have been put on probation by Kellogs for too many load failures

    I'm sure some of the failures are a result of the dumb planners sending you to pick up a Kellogg's or Nestlé load right after you delivered a trash load. NEWS FLASH!!! They can smell it!!! The trailer will be rejected and you will have to go hunt for another one. All they care is you are the closest truck
