  • With this year’s truck inspection blitz focusing on steering and suspension issues, we turned to Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Bobby Simmons who showed us what he looks for when inspecting steering and suspension components on a tractor-trailer. Stay tuned for more videos showing additional component inspections from Trooper Simmons and Trooper John Sewell.

    Now how on Earth is the average driver supposed to check all of that without getting under the truck!? Perhaps I should take my truck to a shop and get them to do an inspection once a month and have it documented so that DOT can't mess with me

    • @curtekstrom9531
      @curtekstrom9531 Год назад +2

      What's wrong with that? My trucks are run through the Shop twice a month, bumper to bumper. In the 32 years since I took over the company. Not one truck Red Tagged at an Inspection Station.

      Should be able to tell by any slop in your steering, death wobble at certain speeds, clunking when you turn, abnormal tire wear on the outside or inside of the tread. Good point though I didn't think they were that critical.

  • @jeffreymartin2404

    Let me say this from experience drivers. You can take your truck in a shop every day at your terminal or a regular shop and the shop gives you a receipt or paperwork what the shop did to your truck. If the DOT inspect your truck right after you come out the truck shop and find the same thing that you have taken your truck or trailer to the shop for, they don't care about a receipt drivers. The DOT will write you up again and again for the same thing and will give you a ticket if you start raising heck about it. Today it's the cat trying to catch the mouse. Now I've seen trucks go through the dang scale and the brake drum break off or the brakechamber hanging half off and never get stopped but a newer truck will get pulled all the time why?? Because the newer trucks and trailers come off the assembly line with more problems. I didn't believe this until I seen it for myself, so yes double check your units if you're a o/o or not bc either way it's the same tickets and write up. Stay safe drivers and always God bless everyone and your family. Mailman

    How in the fuck do you expect drivers to go underneath their trucks and do a full inspection for free. Ohhhh that's right..... Its for safety...... I would rather work in McDonald's and get paid for every minute I work then be a charity for a mega carrier.

      That’s part of the job no one said trucking was easy most of you turds don’t belong out in trucks in the first place the whole trucking industry has gone to pot since deregulation, unified carrier, freight brokerages, and so called truck driving schools. Oh and the invention of automatic trucks why because if you can’t shift the damn thing in the first place you do NOT have any business in one !!!! Go drive a cab or an Uber car you probably wear dirty sweat pants flip flops grease dirt stained tee shirts drive with your flats ass foot on the dashboard play with your selves driving down the road and have never heard of soap and water!!!!!
