If they had dogs that can sniff no truck would make it thru the scales. Why dont they talk about the truckers selling freight out the back trailer doors to 4 wheelers?
Never trust dot when they say, nawwww you will not get points. BS
We ended up giving you guys too much power , we need to take it back . Because most of the time its all about money
NY is particularly bad. Pulled and inspected twice already this year along 87 Thruway in NY where I haven't seen an inspection or citation in 10 years prior.
Yep don't drive shit will change
All bout money ain't a dam thing funny,u gotta have a con in the land of milk and honey.
@@julioviloria3289 I hear that if guys let Pete play with their butt he'll let you off with a warning 🇺🇸😉
Out of curiosity, what violations are you guys pleading guilty to, what court levied a monetary fine against you as a result of a DOT inspection? You fkn guys are on dope, a violation is not a citation. Tires, lights, air leaks, etc are nothing more than a violation, you don't pay fines on these infractions. Overweight and speeding are actual monetary citations. So where are you guys paying all the money to, lmfao.
I use a three-ring binder with the plastic sleeves in it for all my documents and permits and it stays in the driver's door. When they ask for my documents, I pull up the the binder and show it to him and it makes truck inspections easier. Always be polite even if they're making you mad, it less painful.
same here. and if your rig is tight and right it a cake walk.
Usually just hand over the binder except in California: they want only the documents they ask for pulled out even if it’s raining 🤦🏽♂️
Yep
@@kingdomseeker88 same here in Quebec Canada....
@@kingdomseeker88 California sucks man, for real. They mess with truckers way too much!!!
It's all about the numbers. They can care less about safety.
All about the $$$
Revenue for the state
@@mitmaks remark below is correct, cops dont add up the $$ in heads for the state but they are trained hardass cattle that effect is it brings in the cash cow for the state....so both are true lol.
I like it when they pull in a shiny pete with a perfectly loaded flatbed or reefer and let 15 foreign owned Volvo’s with body panels missing and half the hood falling off.
COULDNT care less abt safety... they check for safety things. but drivers... asleep, reaching for... in the back, day gazing, FOLLOWING TOOOOO CLOSELY!!!! need 1/4 mile in front of vehicle on highway... a block in town. YES they will "take it" and that sucks, I HATE THAT TOO.... but ... STAY WAY BACK from teh vehicle in front of you... we will all get there...s ooner or later. in our machine, in ambulance or hearse. dispatch TRIED to run me 24 hours, NO!!!! they didnt like me too much. the others expected us to RUN (ILLEGALLY) 16 hours a day... 18. i learned, did it for a while, like so many others (150% turnover a YEAR!?!?! WOW!!!! some job hopping, some get the message... U RUN 18 hours a day or u dont have the job for more than 2 months. DONE!!!! simple, IMPLIED, NOT STATED... as if it was stated it wud be ACTIONABLE. if can drive 18 hours a day/day in / day out... great, but just ONCE... traffic stops adn driver doesnt??? $$$$$$$$$$$ not worth it to me.
A person can justify absolutely anything.
It's all about furthering the bureaucrats entity. Paper $
I got a ticket for a light being out. I handed the owners responsibility for to the officer. He wrote the ticket and I took it back to work. My former employer never paid the ticket. So they sent me a notice of suspending my CDL. If I didn't send them 120 bucks. I wrote the check and petitioned for a review. I sent them.a copy of the owners responsibility form I gave the officer.
I won my case.
Still charged me a 35.00 fee for the paperwork.
It's all about the money. When it comes to the government.
True
In my 26 years long haul i have had some funny DOT inspections. All ARE TRUE!!
1. I had a HAZMAT inspection at the Chowchilla California scales once and the officer noticed that during the inspection I DELIBERATELY prevented him from seeing the back of my T-Shirt. When done i asked if i passed and he said yes and then he stated the obvious asking to see my shirt. I said I would but ONLY after I got the papers saying I passed SO HE COULD SEE IT. After a few minutes i got them and he said sternly in tone while smiling "Now turn around and let me see". I said OK while laughing and he said "OK NOW i know why you did not want me to see that!!", and while laughing and I assured him I did not plan for it. In big bold yellow letters on the back of my black shirt it said " BEEN THERE, HAULED THAT, AND DESTROYED THE EVIDENCE!". True story.
2. I was in Liberty Lake scales in Washington by Spokane, non hazmat level 3 and same issue but with multiple officers wanting to see my shirt with by back to the wall. I was asked for the following information from memory as the officer had deliberately covered from eyesight ALL my papers, logs and bills.
I from memory correctly answered ALL QUESTIONS with 100% accuracy before allowing them to see the back of my T-shirt. Name, state of residence, drivers license number, company i worked for, load i was hauling, trailer content and location of all stops delivered and remaining, address and phone number of employer in Tennessee, size and brand of trailer, LICENSE PLATE number of both tractor AND trailer, how heavy was my load, and LAST BUT NOT LEAST WITH 100% UNINTERRUPTED AND NO DELAY in response, "WHAT IS THE FULL VIN NUMBER of your tractor you currently are driving?" Without delay or blinking an eye I GAVE FROM MEMORY THE 100% full 17 character alpha numeric VIN of the tractor.
He got an angry look on his face as I smiled when he verified i was correct on everything i recalled 100% from memory. He said to the effect "Well, it is nice to see at least someone is not on drugs and paying attention to what they are supposed to be aware of, NOW TURN AROUND AND LET ME SEE THE BACK OF YOUR SHIRT, making sure the other officers in the scale house heard him and saw my shirt. AFTER I GOT ALL my papers and passing document i did. Back of my black shirt said in bright yellow capital letters...
"NO OFFICER I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU PULLED ME OVER! I SURE HOPE YOU DO! NOW THAT MY LOAD IS LATE AND MY MEDICATION IS WEARING OFF, HURRY UP BEFORE I PASS OUT!" ALL of them ended up laughing hard and loud as i smiled and walked out...except my inspector.
TRUE STORY!
I was an O/O for over 15 years and I never once got pulled into the barn for a full inspection. Plenty of walk around inspections but never in the barn. I took pride in keeping my trucks clean and safe!
11yrs and only once 😂passed!!
I went into the barn today, I definitely discovered new things
Few tips not mentioned in this video.
1. Neat, all your paperwork should be neat and easy to read. This mostly applied a while back when we all used paper logbooks.
2. This is directly from a DoT officer. Follow a multi axle in if you can. 4 or more axles on the trailer touching the ground. They are more likely to pull that truck in. Officers said. That many tires and brakes chances are the driver missed something.
3. Be polite and respectful. You don't have to be his/her best friend, but you don't have to be an ass either. Funny how far a yes sir no sir goes.
4. This is more for company drivers. Don't be scared to out of service a truck before ever leaving the yard. I've out of serviced a truck because the dummy company removed the ashtray/cupholder from the truck. You're not allowed to have a water bottle coffee cup sitting on the floor could roll under a pedal. (side note, funniest look ever on my dispatchers face that day)
5. Again more for company drivers. Stand up for yourself. Don't let a dispatcher bully you into doing something illegal. If you are doing everything legal and safe you have zero to fear from DoT. Or in my case the MTO.
Waterbottles and coffee mugs fit in boots. Putting a Truck out of service because it didn't have a cup holder is a Keran move, suck it up buttercup and get to work ffs.
@@GoDaddioTV Awww muffin. You can bring a spare pair of boots to have a cup holder. I'm not. While your at it princess why don't you bring an extra tire for the truck with you as well. You know incase the company doesn't want to fix that issue as well.
But I guess you don't get the principle of it. The truck had cup holders, company pulled them out, THEY MADE IT ILLEGAL no different to putting a bald tire on the truck.
And kid, I've got 17 years in with ZERO tickets, ZERO accidents. And my regular route has me pass 2 super scales and two smaller scales. And I have ZERO fear of being pulled in and inspected. I will pass every time. That is not to mention since the company I work for is in a heavy commercial part of the city the MTO love to set up safety blitz on the road the yard is located on. AGAIN zero fear of being pulled over.
Your the dummy that DoT and MTO love to pull over because you think your little work arounds will save you getting a fine and demits on YOUR license. When it is MY license god damn right I will be a KAREN about it. It is mine, not the companies and keeping it clean is non-negotiable period.
@@MrShuntking 🤣
They're called running shoes. I take my work boots off and put them on when I'm driving so my feet are comfortable, you should try it.
I've been flat-decking for 17yrs and Trucking closing on 21 fast. Let me guess, you pull Vans and sit on your ass all day. Why don't you carry your own spare tires, are you useless and don't know how to change a flat on a Forest Service Rd in the middle of nowhere?
Unless it's a Safety Blitz I rarely get pulled in at the Scales or at road-side Inspections. I gained a reputation of passing them with flying colours and normally get waved through because they don't want to waste their time finding out everything works that needs to work on my Truck when there's so many idiots who don't maintain their Rig to check.
A cup holder doesn't need to work, Skippy. Most Companies would fire your stupid ass red-flagging a Truck for that. You're the Snowflake who did that, not me. I'm a Trucker, you're a truck driver.
Lastly, if my boots are wet I'll improvise and use a strap for a cup holder while they dry out. Good luck to you, you need it Chump.🖕
@@GoDaddioTV Your the chump. If it isn't your own rig and you are providing a free mechanic for the company. Your not only a chump but also a complete moron. You do those repairs without pay and put yourself totally at risk for all the blame if something goes wrong with that repair. Again unless it is you own rig and you are running as an O/O you SHOULDN'T be repairing the truck.
Yep I pull reefers making sure the grocery stores have food in them. So the chances of me every being on a forest service road is never going to happen. 2. The company I work for has 2 Mechanic in the company yard. So if I spot an issue I can have it fixed usually under an hour and get paid while waiting for someone who is qualified to do the repairs. It's called doing a PROPER pre-trip. (not the same company as the cupholder company)
And I didn't say a cup holder needs to work. I said, having to put your drink on the floor is an out of service because it can roll under a pedal. Making it 100% a safety issue. 2 totally different things. And again it is the principal of it. The company pulled them out for no reason other then it was combined with the ashtray which simply popped out meaning the actual holders could of stayed in the truck.
Finally Skippy. I make enough money to afford a good pair of work boots that are just as comfortable as a pair of running shoes. I highly recommend CaT work boots/shoes. Give them a try, then maybe you don't need to carry 3 pairs of boots with ya.
Dealt with MTO alot, being based in Ontario. My last 4 inspection we're level 1 and got a cvsa sticker everytime. Trick is keep your things organized and make sure everything is good and ready to roll. I've OOS my share of trucks and trailers in the past.
Need to inspect 4 wheelers randomly to make sure they safe to run on road also check for insurance 🙄🥱
Right
HA HA HA THATS FUNNY.... MOST "4 WHEELER" are TSTB... (TOOO STUPID TO BREATHE, much less operate a motor vehicle SAFELY!!!) what is APPROPRIATE FOLLOWING DISTANCE???? NUTT TO BUTT AT ANY SPEED... so can be ... "first responders" to the accident (the first ones to the accident) or a block in town and a mile on the highway. set cruise for 62 mph so traffic is always pasing and moving down/away from the driver. alll going to get there... in our own personal conveyance... an ambulance... or a hearse
@@gmcinnis6304 , why truckers who are supposed to be pros are always complaining about 4 wheelers is beyond me. The trucking industry has some of the worst drivers one the road. Get side by side for 10 minutes trying to pass. One a mph higher up the other a mph faster downhill.
@@TheRetiredtech
U must not be a trucker 🤦🏻♂️ We complain about 4 wheelers because they do dumb sh*t like cutting us off to closely (we need to keep a big following distance because we can’t stop quickly like cars), not letting us merge in construction zones, ect. As far as 10 minutes to pass another truck; the trucks have speed limiters and sensors on them. So if you want to do top speed of 65 mph you will be slowed down to 60 or 58 staying behind a truck doing the 65 or slower because the sensor doesn’t let u follow closely. Ergo, u have to pass them to maintain your 65 mph speed or take even longer to get to your destination.
@@TheRetiredtech how about we set your car to drive, turn and stop like a truck. And give you the same limitations we have( no left lane, can’t fit in fast food parking lots or drive thru’s
Have dot pull you over and check your car) I bet you wouldn’t last a week.
Excellent topic! You read my mind. Was researching DOT regulation playbooks today. Thank you for this
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this info with fellow truckers. Shout out to all the hardworking truckers out there!
I've never had problems with either Canadian or US DOT officers/inspections - and I've been driving professionally for over 10 years.
Some tips:
1) keep your documents in order - I keep truck documents in plastic sleeves in a 1" ring binder so the inspector can see everything at a glance
2) I keep my BOL's on a separate clipboard so I can just hand the clipboard to the officer
3) keep your dash clean - I guarantee that if it comes down to an inspector picking between two trucks, he/she will go for the one that has paper and other crap strewn all over the dashboard.
4) be reasonably polite, the officer is just doing their job and they do get the junk trucks off the road that shouldn't be ON the road in the first place
I very seldom get pulled into DOT inspections simply because I follow the above tips. Remember, the officer can look up just about anything they want related to your truck and you (via your license) on their computers. If they see that you've been inspected recently and passed, they usually won't bother going through the higher inspection levels. The opposite is true if you have a record of failing inspections.
Good advice.
I drove a heavy duty tow truck for 12 years. If DOT didn't exist, there would be more wrecks and rolling junk on the roads. I have been called out for trucks that were broken down that should have been scrapped. I was never afraid of a DOT inspection because I refused to drive rolling wrecks or in violation. One time I did get nailed for having a train whistle on the loaner truck my boss had me driving while my assigned truck was in for maintenance.
I’m a DOT Officer and this is an excellent video. I have a Class A CDL license and PA inspection license also and have been a Police Officer for the past 23 years. I try to treat everyone like I’d want to be treated. Pre Trip inspection can eliminate 90% of problems. I have thousands of pictures of the craziest most unsafe violations that could have been avoided. My advice…..don’t give attitude. I expect a little but when I catch you on the phone and am behind you with lights and sirens and you are so distracted you don’t see or hear me then you have no reason to give me an attitude. 90% of my citations go to the company. There is no citation quota at all but we do have to do a certain number of of inspections each quarter/year.
Some drivers don’t realize not all DOT are officers and some do not or cannot write tickets.
Damn LIAR! Parasite! There is a quota I know personally the second highest ticket/violation/red light dot/scale master in NC and YES there is a quota if they do not meet a certain number of inspections/violations they lose their certification. Actually the officer stated they wished they would've never been certified to begin with because there is so much pressure from the state to maintain this quota....so GTH
Peter Bilt do you ever see new officers in the Police dept. being hired for the first time that are 50?
I am a new driver would like to ask u some questions sir if that is okay
Do u have an email I can send u ?
word game at its best he switch the words from quote to high demand be safe out there
I feel like DOT should only be able to inspect you in the scale house only. I heard stories that back in the day, how fake DOT would pull over truckers on the shoulder and rob them.
Damn
Wow
🤯
How would someone know that it’s a fake DOT ?
@@marieantoinette81 I would assume after they’ve been robbed?
I’m sure that any real DOT Officer, even bad shitty ones, aren’t going to rob someone on the job or use their job equipment that could be traced back to them
Thanks for the video, very valuable firsthand information!
LMAO I’m just watching Mai’s face the entire time the dot officer was speaking! He’s like “man these guys sure know how to fk us!!”
😂😂
They absolutely do have quota’s to meet.
THP got in trouble because of a leaked email that outlined their quota’s.
Really good information. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you so much for this video. I usually do my pre trips for a good 30 minutes to make sure everything is working right . Because ignorence is not the answer. It doesn't matter if you work for someone both individuals have CDL so both parties need to know if your compliance. Thank you sir
Thanks brother. Good info. God Bless.
Thanks for this. I general seek to be taught by the officer and that usually goes well for me.
I end up asking them alot of questions.🤫
Awesome video Alex thank you very much
When I drove for Eagle Trucking hauling fuel, I got pulled over multiple times in N.C. I always passed but I asked the Trooper why was I getting pulled so much and he actually told me that all of them know Eagle trucks and the fleet is very maintained and we always have our paperwork together. I was like okkkkkkk.... Then he said hell man, y’all make our job easy. We never have to write tickets so it’s a quick inspection!
That's the craziest backhanded compliment I've ever heard
Oh boy...thanks you.,you are great.,very Good information 🙏🏻
We have a retired MTO officer working for the company I drive for, and he was able to clarify the quota issue for me at least. He told me that there is no quota for number of tickets, but there are "performance benchmarks". Basically put, in a month, for each area, there should be a minimum number of inspections performed. He went on to say that in the area he worked, 85% or more of the inspections he performed resulted in the truck and/or trailer getting clean paperwork. It is understandable that the government would want their officers to perform at or above a set limit, after all, these officers are being paid to do a job. As far a writing tickets goes, he was happier to not have to write any...
"performance benchmarks" = minimum standard = expectation = quota
Tuhmayto tuhmawto
So cool, thanks so much for your service Sir
great indication of teaching the drivers who short the basic inspection of pretrip values and save life
I had plenty road side inspections and DOT weigh station inspections in my 34 years of driving. Never failed any of them but I did have a couple of fix it minor problems. My uncle was chief and commander if the Arizona highway patrol I never talked to him about stuff like this but he would always talk about the worst problems with commercial equipment. Good video.
This is my best video I have watched on Muth Truckers.
I have had several DOT officers in multiple states tell me they have quotas for the number of inspections they do have to do, i.e. 20 level 1 inspections. They also have revenue goals that are used for their performance evaluations.
I believe it. They are so rude to truck drivers regardless of how we act or behave. If they stopped people to make sure they are safe, they wouldn't treat us like shit.
They do not have quotas, quotas are against federal law.. They have "Work performance Standards" and have to show that they are doing their job... If they deal with a major TC that takes two days to investigate, they will not be expected to have "X" amount of traffic contacts for those days or for the month. No TC's, better be making contact with the public, be proactive and issuing them citations... Spin on words.
Right , it's called revenue enhancement
Thank you! That was great,need more like him
You out did yourself again!!.. can’t wait for the following segment on safety.. good looking out ALEX..
That was very VERY informative... Thank you !
Thank you for this.
Was told out of a DOT inspectors mouth that they do have a quota for certain companies....and I just happen to be one of them on 65 north heading thru kentucky
KY, IN, IL, GA, TN, OH, MO, FL, PA: ‘high enforcement’ states. Lots of scales lots of DOT.
@@rons.6683 , so pretty much the southeastern & midwestern regions are the highest regions w/ scales.
@@tre_4 yep yep
Great information brother,I appreciate what you do for us ....
Good Show. Thanks Bro, keep ‘em coming
Excellent interview and can't wait to hear from the D.O.T. officer. 31 years with no accidents and only enough violations you can count on 1 hand. ( mostly log book. Still don't care for the ELD either.)
Keep doing your great work 👍
Thanks Alex!
Great show,very informative 👏 👍 👌
I know nothing about trucking nor I have no desire to truck.. but I am digging this channel.
Thank you for this information.
Wow great content sir always with the top of the line stuff!!!
In all my 26 yrs of driving I’ve learned that if you can joke with a DOT officer 👮♂️, and make him crack a smile then then you’ve got it made...lol
The exception is the Barny Fife type
They did a big blitz back home. They heard about a wheel falling off a trailer and went flying there with hardons and ticket books. Driver: "Uh you guys just did a full inspection 10 miles ago" lmao
It is good to share the information to be informed,makes everyone job easier.
It is all in the attitude you have usually when stopped by the DOT. Having your paperwork straight as well will help out a lot. I am back driving again while I pursue my dreams to get back to the Philippines.
Have a second or two, I have some content on my driving experiences as well on my channel.
I was a carhauler and got pulled into the weigh station in Iowa while empty. They pulled out a long tape measure and said when they see the truck n trailer stretched out. They automatically inspect. $350 dollars later for being 1ft over length..on and empty trailer..lol
Just let it all hang out some times cost...
And that’s why I go around them or blow them
@@BORIKKEN As someone not in the business, do they pursue you and stop? Do you get fined/ticketed for that?
I get the same thing going into luissiana. I call it a car hauler tax
And the quota...I heard straight out of a highway patrol officer and also a local city cop say they do have quotas. Logic tells us DOT scales officers probably have it too.
They can have contact quotas, but not citation quotas.
It's always about numbers I know a officer also and he says commercial vehicles is a major part of there revenue.
What are you talking about? Lights, tires, etc are not monetary citations.
This will get a lot of views. Great idea!
Thanks for the bid bro
That is great. I am not a Trucker, but being under the CA Commercial driver rules, this does help!! Simple stuff you need.
Awesome thank you
Great video thanks for sharing
This lier lost all credibility with me when he said there is no such thing as a quota. I was told by an inspector on a dot stop that they had quotas for the number of inspections performed in a year, and that I would generally see them inspecting alot more every March and April in order to meet their yearly quota. This is what I hate about the aditude of law enforcement, they see it as totally moral to lie to the public in order to save face for the profession (and the courts back them), so in general you can't trust many of them at all unless they are a personal friend of yours outside of work, and they haven't just totally given themselves over to the god complex of being in the legalized mafia that we call "law enforcement".
I worked as an inspector for 10 years. No quota, BUT... expectation (um, goal) of 16 trucks inspected per day. At the end of the month, the scales I worked at would list everyone by numbers of trucks inspected, number of violations found, number of out of service trucks... so, yeah, quota vs. expectations vs. goals. It's all semantics. No penalties for not reaching goals except peer pressure.
@@lcrr700 ahh so its kinda like a reverse psycology thing to make you feel like you have to keep your numbers up.
@@Alpha_apex sure. Nobody wants to be in the last few positions on the list. Now bear in mind, that's how they did it at the facility at which I worked, can't speak for anyone else.
That was also not true about a specific focus on a stop. HOURS OF SERVICE!!!!!
They probably do things differently in each city or state. I don’t see a reason why he would lie about this and for the fact you always hear from other people they don’t have quotas
That dude really gets in the mind of a truck driver what he said is dead ass on point
God bless you
Excellent channel my man!
Bring this guy back for a weekly show.
Very helpful and nice 👍 I hope people get more attention before start driving truck
Good stuff bro
Your so real there's nothing fake about you your the realisst of the real .you keep it real your so real at keeping it real
Big respect and now he is a truckdriver !!!that means hees last job was bouring
Awesome great information and video
Good stuff Alex

Great Content Guys!!!
Awesome episode!
Another great video.
Nice work guys 👍
Man this info makes me feel more at ease with Dot . The nicest weight station I’ve been to was in New Mexico 🇲🇽
Have you been through weigh stations in New England 🏴??
There are all cowards, liars, and government agents piss on them
Great video!
Go into NM sometime with copper on a flat deck. They will check your equipment, guaranteed!
Best trucking channel right here
Good show.
The dot man is right on. But it's hard just
Keep working hard thanks 😊
Its all about your safety score. If you or the company your leased to has a shitty safety score you'll get pulled in and screwed with every time.
That’s right, he LIED and said they don’t target certain companies.
Great Video
Danke!
Appreciate you so much
An Ex DOT officer told me at an orientation:
ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY, and keeping their system/jobs in place.
Nice info papa
Interesting to hear it from the other side. Great interview!
Definitely good person to interview and have on the show.
The week before and after the posted dates for the blitz is when they really do it.
Correct I was got a level 2 today luckily no violations and a good report to my boss which in turn added $200 on my next check
Like VOSA in the U.K. good practice carry spare bulbs if you keep your truck.
There is good and bad in all walks of life boys and girls you do your job and they will do their job ,Roll on...
Nice show
Great video.
I do hazmat hauling I constantly picked on by the DOT! Either they’re training another officer or they got to keep your quota of hazmat up each month or something to that effect
Yea Man
🔥🔥🔥🔥 safety is 🔑
I agree with him ➡️➡️he needs another meeting
They don't have a quota, but they could be disciplined for not being productive.
Exactly what I figure. I don't believe they have a "quota", but it's not like they can work at the scale all day and not do a single inspection
Damn LIAR! Parasite! There is a quota I know personally the second highest ticket/violation/red light dot/scale master in NC and YES there is a quota if they do not meet a certain number of inspections/violations they lose their certification. Actually the officer stated they wished they would've never been certified to begin with because there is so much pressure from the state to maintain this quota....so GTH
We need more people like that in California. Gascon has ordered that police no longer stop vehicles for burned out lights or other “minor issues.” We see rigs running 4 abreast on a 5 lane freeway with no transition roads nearby.
