Why ticket the driver

"Hooking up is key, because as you do not know yet the qualcomm tells them what trailer id hooked to your tractor. You hook it, it becomes your problem. Always pretrip a trailer before you back under it. "

Huh?? My Q.C. knows what trailer I'm hooked too? And when?? How?!!!!!

 

#### that qualcom--its magic

 

POOF!!!

 

Not only that, but they are SAFETY issues and are covered under the REGs (somewhere; I don't have my copy in front of me right now, so I can't quote them.)

 

They are always in front of you at www.fmcsa.dot.gov

 

sheesh......well over a month ago, and 235 (now 236 posts) and this is still alive....???

what's the purpose of keeping it alive...?????,

driver was wrong,

driver gets ticket,

end of discussion......

 

Actually, I believe only heat and defrost is the requirement in the regs.

 

I can't believe I sat here and read this WHOLE THING!!!!

 

Isn't what your saying the same as; "I was ordered to do it"?

That don't fly in court, while you are in the Military and it sure doesn't fly in court while you are driving a truck.

You are correct but, this is someone who likes to point fingers and say "blame them not me."
