I park at scales regularly during the night. Pull right on in with my chest out because my #### is correct. When I leave I hit the left hand bypass looking straight ahead getting every gear I can find. Lol
Will DOT perform a level 1 if requested?

I have a 2010 630 but uncertain where or what you are describing. PM or any pics of this?

Yeah your cheap ***** needs to learn something, you asking for an inspection assuming that every inspection will be a green light and a sticker but you increase your chances of having a violation or two which defeats the purpose of you trying to save money.rabbiporkchop Thanks this.

I'll see if I have pics saved.Socal Xpress Thanks this.

Probably true. I’ve been driving a semi for 4 years and no tickets and no violations in 5 DOT inspections, 3 being level 1. I’m due. There’s been a couple of times I could have been written up but my excessive obsequiousness got me out of those situations. I once got a sticker at Dunsmuir with a faulty glad hand seal that hissed like a banshee during the brake stroke test. He just said to fix it before I left and wished me well in my travels.Bean Jr. and Socal Xpress Thank this.

Couldn't find pics. Found this cut out view online. If you look at the barrel like end where the bolt goes through, the underside is where the hairline crack shows up.
rabbiporkchop, Socal Xpress and REO6205 Thank this. -
We've all been extended sensible courtesy from time to time, an inoperable blinker, wheel seal that's just starting to seep, etc. Eventually, you'll get that one guy/gal who's even nicer than you think you are and ask you for your license and tell you to go park it in their lot until it's fixed.Bean Jr., sealevel and Midnightrider909 Thank this.

What’s wierd is I have heard about this and never seen a truck being worked on in a coop.
