    In a way that still hurts you when you got that inspection because even if he didn't give you a ticket for that light that hit your CSA score cuz you got 15 days to turn that back in that you got that fixed. Go back and listen to what he said when he gave you that inspection report.

    with all the equipment auction places you have gone to recently if you haven’t already maybe you could talk to the auction center and get your name on a list of people customers who need something hauled to or from the auction place can contact you by phone or internet and if you happen to be in the neighborhood you can haul for them and just let them know up front that you will not unload the trailer until payment hits your bank account via electronic transfer and your bank calls you and verify the payment into the account I know that is how people who haul big boats around the country and a lot of them haul the same boats twice a year like usually out of Florida up north somewhere for the summer where it is cooler and then back in the fall and that is how you guarantee you get payment

    fyi if you every in alabama on i20 west coming out of geogia just walk in the scale house and tell them you need a inspection they will do a quick one and get you on you way i stop every 90 days bc my company will pay me 200 for a clean inspection every 90 days lol assuming i dont get one if flordia they always checking for my blanket permit bc i run a 39 ft end dump with a spread and need it when i run heavy which i always am bc we get paid by the ton

      I have so many questions like this that I have driven my superior to the point that she rolls her eyes even when seeing me in the building anymore and I'm at the point with her attitude that I don't want to interact with her anymore.
      I'm heavily considering just quitting and doing something that pays better than $15k/yr. They say they offer "Competitive Wages" at $19.10/hr, but I wake at 5am to do morning routine then first daily inspection "ON" at 06:30, "Driving" at 06:45, then "OFF" at 10:00, "ON" at 13:45, "Driving" at 14:00, "OFF" at 17:30-17:45 depending on traffic, putting 310km/workday on the vehicle, pulling $103/workday takehome on the bi-monthly paycheck and far too many days off during the year.
