Are there any companies that drive just up and down California, or just the West Coast?

Lesson for today....... Never care about officer safety. Thats their problem 🤷🏾♂️
10-4
you better care dont let them find you guilty of something you did and find this comment .
My safety is #1 priority
I had a cop give me a left lane ticket for moving over from the middle to the left so the truck on the right could move to the middle and not put the other officer that had pulled another truck in danger. So I definitely agree. Don't worry about these road bandits whatsoever.
@Kenneth Eugene I cared but then i realized they dont care themselves when they CHOSE to have a job were they can possibly get hit by a car n get injured or possibly die just to give a ticket 🤷🏾♂️
I would have handed him the green FMCSA regulations book and asked him to show me where in the code book does it state that purchasing food is considered On Duty time.
His job isn't to interpret laws as he sees fit, his job is to enforce laws *as they are written.*
That troopers argument will then be, "well I'm not gonna sit here and school you on the rules and regulations as you should know them already since you're driving a CMV". Lol
@@brandonkoole655 I do know them. Driving Personal Conveyance to the store to purchase food *is not* an On Duty action.
There is is no arguing with an idiot cop like this. He has the badge he is God so he is always right
@@davidpyle2786 That's why you record everything for court.
Have it printed out and with your paperwork....you can print the guidance response from the FMCSA site...and just hand it to him.
You can never give a guy like that a badge.
I was in Warsaw NY, I missed my turn on accident, the sign was behind a over hanging tree, so I pulled off to the side when it was safe to do so, so I called for help, police showed up, I explained what happened, right away he was already having a attitude, tried ripping my door open, telling me to shut the hell up when telling him what happened, I had it being recorded, so he wrote me a ticket for failed to follow signs, and backing up? What!? Banking up, he tried lieing saying I was banking up. Never said I had video evidence, so I called my aunt who works in the law firm, her boss has a brother who works in NY, met me on the court date at court, with video evidence, judge looked at the officer, with a disgusted look, and dropped all charges. So I looked at the cop walking out with a smirk on my face, never went to NY again.
Sound like NY.
and its said that you had to have connections and have multiple people go up several times to get this shit off you. most people cant do this so these wackos can get away with anything they want to,
Got a lawyer in the family I would have sued that officer and dept. US 18§ 1983
That’s a beautiful story
Cop should have been fired, only in USA can a person have a badge a gun and take roids
This is totally fightable and the officer clearly showed his misunderstanding of the HOS with what he said
The cop is not my Dad. I will not open the door to my house unless the police has a warrant. Same thing for your Truck. My Truck is my own private Domicil when I'm out of hours and I will not be Harassed Bitch
Cops are Minions for a bad cause!!!!!
100
No misunderstand Only quota AKA performance review
That cop is a dick 🍆 pudgy little porker
People quit worrying about cops safety they do not care about your safety
it does feel that way.
That’s a pretty ignorant statement.
@MegaHahndo no its not. They don't give 2 shots about your safety, they just want your money.
@@MegaHahndo they are nothing more than revenue collectors
@@Seri-Katil you really don’t know how it works at the county level. If a deputy wrote a ticket, they generate about 2 bucks for that agency. These are facts. If you fail to stop when a cop turns on his emergency lights then it’s called fleeing and eluding. It’s really not that hard.
One thing I always hated about being on the road was the constant fear of issues with D.O.T. I was always trying to do everything by the book and be as professional as humanly possible but I always felt like I could loose my paycheck every time I rolled across a scale. All it takes is a guy having a bad day or a chip on his shoulder.
Being put out of service for getting food is ridiculous.
He drove 250 miles on personal conveyance that day. I realize that there isn't a limit to number of miles one can go on PC but at the officers discretion he figured the guy was falsifying his log. Gotta fight it in court and the file a DATA Q if not successful.
@@jti2007 I was in a similar situation near a scale by my home. I was questioned and nearly ticketed until the officer finally agreed to look at the green book and the fmcsa responses on my phone. Its really unnerving when they won’t even look at the regulations when you’re literally holding the book.
Ya they will always look down on us like we are all idiots
@@bestbadcompany I look down on them like the wannabe cops they think they are, most of DOT police are the scrubs real police officers didn't want on the actual force. So they pushed them to DOT, True shit. Ever notice how most of them are frumpy and look like they have down syndrome 🤗
@@Jerz609 I agree the bottom of the barrel
I learned.....FASTEST way to handle this on the spot (hours of D.O.T. hours availability) is to call that states F.O.T. and ask for a Compliance Officer......and teach these officers how to actually UNDERSTAND how to read the rules.
Everyone in Kansas , lock the brakes up NOW when pulled over.
I did that shit one time. Knew I was getting pulled over eventually, as soon as those lights came on I yanked it to shoulder, and nailed the brakes, he flew by me lol. He was mad why did you stop so fast? Aren't we supposed to stop as soon as we can? Haha .

Officer had probable cause to pull driver over for running illegal lights on his truck!
@@sodbuster518able DOT doesn’t even need probable cause. For any thing 😭 talking like u know something
Sue him and ask the judge to order him to be retrained. Abolish qualified immunity!!!!
I had this same experience in SC. DOT pulled me over on a dark road, I drove maybe half a mile to a well lit gas station, the DOT officer thanked me for it, he said he felt safer there than on the side of a dark road.
I’ve been pulled over twice, one time the trooper got in behind me and stayed there until we approached a rest area then he turned his lights on, that’s what that officer should have done
Rest area is 10 miles away so he won't wait that long..
Exactly, if the cop wanted to pull him over 3 miles down the road he would have waited tilll then to light him up
To be honest I'm getting tired of videos like this that have no follow-up. It's like watching the first half of a movie and never getting to see the end. I'm willing to bet that 99% of these people never do anything to the cops involved which is a huge reason it continues to happen. If they started getting sued and/or reported by EVERY person they pulled over, things would change.
Exactly 💯

100%
Me too.he let this driver ramble on and on.
I would have loved it if you could have got the DOT officer

@@Ramon-oy5fq because he is black so he acts hood?
250 miles off duty, I'm sure he was doing more than getting food. LOL 😂
Personal Conveyance you can drive a lot more than 250 miles while off duty. but needs to be for food or entertaiment ect but cant do it if tired
@@user-wi4rf7hl5r yeah I PC from Fargo north Dakota to boise Idaho once
Who tf cant find food in 250 miles?
Damn, I ain't got PC. All I have is an ebike that goes 20 miles, tops. Never have trouble finding food.
Pc is off duty period I have PC'd from Laredo to Chicago
Just another reason I wish I could find something else to do, I don’t trust cops of any kind 🤷♂️
go live somewhere without cops and let me know how that goes

What is going on with these officers? Power hungry? Telling someone to shut up, stop talking is first of rude and escalates the situation more. It borders on violating your security and safety. We truck drivers are not the enemy.
This is why I keep saying there is no such thing as a "professional driver". Do you think the FAA treats pilots the same way?
@@wilc4036 yes the FAA treats pilots similarly. They will check pilots at the airport for medical certs, pop them for a random drug test, and their ATP license
@@jti2007 And tell them to shut up, that they don't care what they have to say, and give them citations for violating rules that they didn't violate. Right.
He's definitely in the right!! Thank you for your service good Sir. Stay safe out there brother!
Indiana trooper pulled me over for stopping BEFORE he initiated the stop 🛑
This DOT officer needs to be re-educated on the rules of FMCSA Hours of service or be fired for trying to nefariously milk truckers pockets because, either he genuinely doesn’t understand Hours of Service or he thinks the driver doesn’t know and trying to manipulate the system with fraudulent tickets that he thinks the driver won’t fight in court.
Why … he said he’s a Master Trooper!!! Whatever the F that means🤦🏽♂️😂.

I’ll never understand why people run blue/red lights on any moving vehicle, installing those two colors is a guaranteed interaction with law enforcement
exactly, the brother in the video wants to be extra because he's a bounty hunter. that's not cool. and it actually confuses other truck drivers or vehicles seeing it from far away that he may be a cop. Just keep it legal and do whats legal in all states with the chicken lights. Amber and Yellow that's all that's needed. Another silly thing I see sometimes is these guys driving down the road with that bright purple/blue inside the cab. im sure it is over stimulating the eyes and producing glare one then windshield to a certain point.
In pretty much every state, it's illegal to have a combination of blue & red lights on a civilian vehicle.
I’ll never understand why there’s always someone like u trying to find a way to justify police misconduct
Did you not hear him say that they LED lights. Listening is fundamental. Smh.
Because you can apply and actually get permits to run various color lights.
Wow Tony!!! We support you! Glad you were safe!!
Drivers like that have no respect!!!
Yeah but if tony didn't flag from the start of his off duty driving and right down pc or what he was using that personal drive time for in his notes. Not just say but have it documented then it's a violation!
The same exact thing happened to me in Missouri when he pulled me over I drove a few miles to exit so we can both be safe at 2 in the morning and he wrote me a warning ticket for not stopping immediately and he told me same exact thing that officers said
I was stopped in my truck and immediately pulled over and the officer asked me why I didn't pull into the truck stop at a safe location. Go figure
Saving the link for this video for the future.
This occurred to my driver my driver didn’t go threw the weight scale we have pre scaled soon rhe officer put his lights on my driver got over he gave him ticket for obstructing traffic because wasn’t shoulder smh 🤦♀️ every state guess have different rules
Why the blue lights mounted on his truck?
Alex, give me "Things that didn't happen" for $100
Damned if you do damned if you don't...
I have called places to park before and they said it was ok. So I park, go get food, then come back to sleep and wake up to a tow guy telling me to move it or get towed. So I move across the street because I’d rather break a stupid on duty law then to call my company about a tow situation. Why are these laws placed to where drivers can’t even live a life after their shift sometimes??
You can legally pc in that situation
@@bgdavidcryptonite4158 the issue is my company doesn’t allow pc
That blows
Sometimes you can creep under 5mph and your clock won't kick in or your company have to allow a PC in this situation

I've actually thought about the situation about pulling off somewhere safe before and wondered if it would be fine as long as within mile or so. As for duty statistics I had a trooper tell me before that had to be consecutive 10 hours with no wheel time even if PC
Love the vid format
I was told by an Arizona DOT officer you can use your convenience hours to get food as long as you return back to where you were sleeping your 10 hr
Technically, you cannot use them to return back…since you will be on your way to work, and that’s not covered under PC
I think he means conveyance.
Exactly. His problem was that to go get food, he traveled over 250 miles. He admitted that to the trooper later in the video. THAT is illegal.
Fmcsa doesn’t have a limit for pc for food or entertainment

I drive in the western states only. Mostly Nevada and. California. In 12 years I have been stopped several times. And never had a bad experience. I've even been thanked for proceeding to a safe place to stop. That officer was just an arrogant, ignorant, power hungry idiot. Most realize that we are on the same team. Trying to keep the highways safe for all.
3 miles tho ?
Same here I stay in California, nevada, Arizona and never had major issues,
maybe it's just an east of the Mississippi thing bc it happens.
You must be white as snow buddy.
@@andrewp7509 I was once pulled over on a bridge on the 18 in Washington and went about 3 miles down the road to the wide shoulder at the other end of the bridge. The state trooper thanked me. That being said I put my hazards on and started slowing down as soon as he got.behind me.
Truck driver needs to sue the cops and state of Kansas!!!!!
Please please follow up on this. This is exactly why I carry my green book and filed fmcsa responses on my phone out of fear of this situation.
I went through the same thing in Texas. I pulled off the main highway down onto the service rd and the guy blew a gasket.
These officers are over stepping their boundaries each day more and more. Plus the FMCSA makes stupider laws and regulations each day.
They won't rest until they have no commerce at all.
When you give idiots a badge, gun, and authority they get a God complex
But driver, FMCSA are the trucking experts! They know everything there is to know about trucking! They are so dumb I mean smart!
@@donniekluttz5931 they don’t even have cdl so how can they make laws on something they know nothing about. Kind of a theme in the government with the ATF as well.
@S Dukes trucking Inc you are preaching to the quire brother!
This crap is why I’m glad to be done with trucking. All just to make a quota and revenue for the state. Someone needs to educate this officer on Personal Conveyance, then this driver needs to BOTH sue him individually as well as his department for the negligence and lost time/wages. I also wish the Feds would pass a law that forbids them to just come and open your door up, and if it’s locked they go into rage mode immediately because they can’t just come and open your door immediately. This is our home away from home, don’t like it, don’t be a cop. Respect is earned, not given out of fear, or demanded because you wear a badge. Country needs truckers more than it needs cops anyhow. Not a cop hater, because most are good people, but I hate the ones who let that badge get to their head and think they’re god.
And he definitely did. You see how he spoke about being a master trooper and bragged about his quota? 🤮
He drove 250 miles on P.C. for food.......😳
Facts that's why I stayed local don't have to worry about looking for parking have a cook home meal. Hardly worry about cops.
Mercenaries of the Federal Government
All facts.💯
This reminds me of one of the times I got stopped in Michigan at the Mackinaw Bridge. I’m from Michigan and I delivered in the U.P and was heading home in the L.P. Coming across the bridge and I seen a state cop sitting on the other side. No big deal, not doing anything illegal so I didn’t really bat an eye at him. Well as I was passing him, he started moving. I was thinking oh boy somebody messed up lol. Well. I guess it was me because a couple miles up the road he came up next to me, backed off and flipped the discos on. I stopped immediately. He asked if I know why he stopped me and I said no. Because I literally had no idea. He tried saying I was following to close to the truck in front of me. (Mackinaw bridge has a law trucks have to maintain 500ft distance). Well I was like 6 maybe even 7 truck lengths behind the truck ahead of me so no way. Told him both my company and personal dashcam say otherwise and we can watch both if needed. He got all hot and pissy and wanted my paperwork. It was in a cabinet above me I couldn’t reach so I asked to unbuckle to get it. He said yes. When he came back to the truck he tried hitting me with a seatbelt violation and said i failed to pull over immediately for him. But no tickets in his hand? And dropped the following to close thing all together? So. I kindly reminded him he literally watched me take my seatbelt off and gave me the permission to do so he’s full of shit and that I yielded immediately to him by turning my signal on to let him know I’m pulling over and that I see him. Had to remind him again of the dashcam and that if we are going to continue to have issues to call a supervisor. Again. Hot and pissy. Goes back to his car. Figured I was getting tickets up the ass. He came back, gave me my stuff back. And all he said was “get out of here”. And walked away. Escorted me back on the road and took off. Wish I had videos of this 😂
I get tired of hearing law enforcement bark about "only if I say so". They just want to claim all the infractions they can. From then on, I would stop immediately and refuse to move from the spot until the interaction was over.
I never go on duty for anything 🤣 well wait except for fueling but that's it
Hey !! Read the regulations!! “Any light that can be seen from the side MUST be amber except for the rear MUST be red”. No blue, no green, no purple.
It astounds me that we are supposed to know the laws of all 48 states that we drive in 49 if you go up to Alaska but these guys can’t even get the laws correct in their own state
Im expected to know Alaska, Yukon, BC and WA DOT laws as these are the places I drove across.
Why isn’t there a uniform law across all states/provinces when the FMCSA is federal?
@@romanshevy257 also a valid point. I’ve been saying that for years
Kentland?! I lived across the street from the firehouse for years. That’s wild
The fact the officer didn't give him a break for driving 3 miles for good intentions.
Proves the officer is a prick.
Thank You for Your Service to The USA 🇺🇸.
Pull over immediately... His safety isnt your problem.
Had an officer pull me over, i stopped immediately. He took my license and directed me to a pull off 2 miles up the road. I stayed put. Its illegal to operate a CMV without being in posession of a CDL. Cop immediately lost it. After a brief discussion. He called for backup. His superiour listened to both sides and handed my license back handed me a level 1 inspection ( passed; yeah i had a current license, ) and sent me on my way.
I shared this with a soon to be Trucker. OTR.🙏👍
Another poorly trained trooper. Plenty of them out there. Just go with what he says on scene and DATAQ the CSA violation with the relevant section of 395 later. Not to mention file a complaint with his supervisor. Great job recording the interaction. Final word: prepaid legal for truck drivers, get it.
Alex!!! When I was at TMC, we had a paper in the permit book that basically stated meals are off duty. Now I see why it was in there, I can't believe that cop is that ignorant.
One of the officers at the scale house in Utah told me it was illegal to drive more than 11 hours in a day. To be fair, that was back in 04 , not long after they changed the log book rules.
It is illegal to drive more than 11 hours in a day. I got a warning ticket two weeks ago for being 15 minutes over my 11 hours driving. I got held up in traffic on I40 but it didn't matter. I was in Little Rock, AR.
@@Brett235 It is illegal to drive more than 11 hours without a ten hour break and the half hour break. If you start at midnight and drive for 11 hours and take your breaks, you still have almost 2 hours to drive with in that 24 hour period. I realize you still have to do pre-trip, get fuel etc. Back then , everybody was on paper logs except for Werner. The scale master didn't think it was legal to have more than 11 hours driving on one logbook page.
@@bill7778 oh I see. I started driving in 1998 and I remember those days well. Back then we could only legally drive 10 and had to take an eight hour break. It was much easier to split log also.
@@Brett235 "The good old days" even then, drivers on the cb were complaining about the "new breed".
Back then you could drive as many hours as you wanted. You just had to make sure you showed them the right log book.
My CB handle is Radracer. I have one in my car and semi. Eventually one in the house. I live in Grand Rapids MI and work in Holland MI
You did right and you are allowed to pull to where you feel safe
250 miles off duty for food? C'mon son get it together
Dont we all want to know where he went to eat!? Must have been some good eats right lol......PC ing 250 miles to eat.....rediculous AND with a straight face to boot
I swear he did this to hisself 250 miles off duty that’s crazy
It wasn't 250 miles it was 65-70 miles the officer padded the miles, from Denver to the state line of Kansas is 180 miles, from my colorado home to the company yard in 30 miles yea do the math tge cap added Miles
Yea I was kinda on his side till I heard this part. He better have his shit together before he go to court because there are strict stipulations on driving that far on PC.
@@geminivcs I didn’t drive 250 miles, if I showed you the other video, you would see that he originally said 100 miles but when the Company I drive for checked it….. it was only 65-70 miles not 250, the cop added miles
As Usual, Many Officers Translate Rules to How They can Write a Ticket. With The Amount of New Drivers, Officers can Confuse Them.
As a former police officer with friends that are troopers and DOT officers in GA, At first I was on Tony’s side until I saw the video and saw he drove 250 miles on PC. At that distance it’s hard to see what was going on without looking at the logs myself. Now I have more questions than answers lol.. At first I thought he went down the street or was eating while in the driver seat off duty. Didn’t realize homie over here was driving all over the country on PC. 😂
I agree with you as a truck driver...there is more to the story
@@IA-py9by there usually is. Lol.. that’s why many of these maga carriers have the logs really locked into the engine that even if you were logged out of the tablet the log still picked up the drive time. And as soon as you logged in, BOOM it’s there 😂 that happened to me when I dropped the truck off at the shop one day.
I agree too that guy abused his logs now he's upset about it 250 miles!!!
MT has a video on his site of a retired dot officer explaining PC.
majority of you cops or DOT are disgusting , liars and false reports , hat 3 major disputes in court because of you liars , always won with pictures and recordings .U almost all criminals.
First off I appreciate your content, and second the last time I was pulled over in my semi for driving in the left lane in Ohio bc the on ramp enters the interstate from the left lane and of course nobody (4 wheelers) wouldn’t let me merge to the right. So after the cop had his lights on then traffic started to slow down and let me merge to the right. I slowed down to pull on the right side shoulder and it was a curve and I thought to myself should I continue to drive until the road straightened or just pull over so I pulled over thinking the cop would try and say I was fleeing if I kept driving. When the cop walked up to my truck the first thing he said is why didn’t I pull over to the left side on the shoulder? I said bc as a professional we were taught to pull over on the right side bc it’s safer, he said ok. Then he said why did you stop in a curve? I said bc if I continued to drive you might’ve thought I was fleeing, and he didn’t respond. He said to continue down the shoulder until it straightened out then pull over!! In all he just gave me a warning.
Pre trip, post trip, DOT Inspection and Fueling .... that is all of my on duty time.
Better add 10 min when u arrive at shipper or final consignee. Only have to show the time it takes to check in.
Exactly right.
And trucks and trailer washouts too . And if you bringing the truck to the shop too… as mega carriers put it that you have to put yourself OnDuty anything related to the work… not Food, but 254 miles offduty I think that’s very suspicious even known on the Book doesn’t saids how long you can do PC for as long you heading home , to a entertainment place or after you dropped your trailer at a drop yard. That’s what a Former DOT officer said on this Show one time.
That's the law.
By the FMCSA green book you only have to be on duty for pre or post trip inspection. Not both. But most companies require both.
This driver is such a nice guy!
Wow. Just wow. What a rude "inspector." Seems like a great guy.
My wife and I was just talking about that if I’m getting pulled over and it’s unsafe I will keep going until it’s safe not only for the cop but for everyone else
If getting food needs to be log on duty because is related to commerce that means that every single penny you spend is tax deductible because is related to commerce.
I don’t mark only fuel the rest I tell the dot I just say I just feel like yo stop
has nothing to do with getting food, has to do with driving teh truck. U can park and take an uber, or walk in a truck stop to get ur food. Also 200+ miles..? whatever lol.
I don’t trust none of em’ even if I think I’m doing everything right I don’t want to be bothered😂
I live 40 miles west of topeka. You are far better off to go 70e to 75n to 24e and then east to 435. Only 10 miles more and far less heartache. I do it weekly. They also cruise around 90mph on the turnpike as well to get to the service plazas.
PG county MD love!!!!
Am I on duty when I get a shower? NO!

No, you can go onto personal conveyance to go anywhere for your personal needs.
As long as you’re not going to your company property - and a truck stop is a gray area I’m told, still looking for clarification on that aspect -
If your on personal just say your going to get some entertainment or restaurant I was told. Hope I don't have to ever find out if it works or not
You just can't use PC to move a load. You can use it to go shopping, washing your truck, getting it fixed (if you're not hauling a load) they stay trying to restrict drivers for every little thing. Keep that same energy for the reckless four wheelers out there!
I was litteraly busted for the same reason last week.
Two violations. I unloaded went off duty, pc to a nearby truck stop, “Food, water and shower”.
i was going home and ran out of time so i stopped went to sleep and woke up pc the rest of way (not staying 10 hr when my home is 20 min away for reset.
Busted!
Officer said i should went off duty and stayed where i unloaded. Mind you i work in the oil fields pulling crude. I will not stay at the unloading station to take a nap, Gas leak on my sleep will send me to meet jesus.
Later in the video the trooper states that he has driven 250 miles PC. After you stop you can travel for food or entertainment and then return to where you were stopped. They like to see a round trip unless you are going from your terminal to your home. 250 miles to get food might be a little excessive. The trooper was right about an oil change. That would be onduty time. All I can say is that you need to know the PC rules front and back. Still can't figure out why he was wearing his fugitive recovery badge and coat while doing an interview from his truck. I think he said he was in Pennsylvania but does fugitive recovery in Colorado. BTW, a FR badge won't score points with a State trooper.
lol, he prob put it on right before the officer came in....total fool. I think the driver was arrogant imo..
It seems like some officers just have a chip on their shoulders. Bullies are cowards.
That is not “on duty”. Omg!! The officer with all due respect don’t know the D.O.T. Rules do’s how can he enforce them.
Exactly. The officer needs retraining. He does not fully understand
The officer is completely incompetent
@@Nikowalker007 FACTS!!!!
@@charlesrjohnsoniii8909 the officer should definitely be embarrassed!
@@Nikowalker007 and that’s very sad!
When I drove in the NE not too long ago…literally no logs as they don’t have time to pull you over in NYC…was running round the clock making a ton of money.
Safety First. ALWAYS. That cop needs training. I'm not gonna stop in the middle of nowhere for anyone, not even the president. My safety and yours precedes all other interactions.
I laughed out loud when the cop brought up the example of a fire truck or an ambulance. What an idiotic comparison. Hint: if a fire truck or an ambulance has their lights on and are approaching me, THEY'RE NOT PULLING ME OVER FOR A TRAFFIC STOP. Of course I pull to the side, BUT THEY KEEP GOING. Lmao 🤣😂
He also said that when you’re on the highway you’re supposed to pull over to the side……… Back when I was 15 years old and learning the rules of the road I remember the highways at least in California you were just supposed to pull over to the right lane and slow down and let the ambulance or firetruck pass in the passing lane May be things have changed I’m not sure but I’ve know. I’ve never pulled over on the highway before I’ve only ever done it on roads.
Good thing he recorded that you wouldn't guess they treat drivers like that making up n changing rules
I would take this to Court. Because Meal Time Is Off Duty Time not On Duty Time. Now if you’re Doing Any Work like Pre/Post Trip, Breakdown, Loading and Unloading. That’s On Duty time.
Please do a follow up with this. This Trooper is on something other than a power trip…
I only go on duty when loading, Unloading, Pre-Trip, Post-trip and Fuel.
Gross I'm off duty for load and unload
@@eagle25311 Either way is legal.
@@LEGEND04131 Yeh I'm otr I don't like wasting time on the clock I could be driving and making money
@Ryan M I only stay on duty 15 minutes when Loading or Unloading.
@@LEGEND04131 oh I see that's not too bad then
That’s the last thing you need to worried about if he’s pulling you over 😂
I actually got pulled over in Kansas a few months ago for driving in the left lane it was at like 2 or 3 in the morning and he said he was behind me for a couple of miles so I just went with the program I ended up getting a warning
My only goal in life is to successfully make enough to get a small homestead going. I have zero faith in this system and Officer Thumbleton is shining proof 🤦🏽♂️
This is total bullshit. You did the right thing.
All You Do is To Be Done, As Safe as You Can. That Surely would be Understood in Court.
Wow everyone need to get this out there share the crap out of it
Me from Canada I had same situation with a police officer want to stop me all lights on and we are in a midle of nowhere onto a small tiny road so I just kept driving till i found a safe parking place and the cop ask me why i did not stop and did explain like Tony but i was lucky he let me go no citation.
The cop tells him that he’s not arguing but proceeds to get his point across 🤦🏾♂️
Hard to have respect for these people. They need to worry about 4 wheelers and no license, drugs, speeding.
Like most tickets that are issued regardless of who it is to the office counts that it will not be challenged especially if issued to someone who is not local, the cost of a court appearance in time and legal fees is less then to pay it out. Same game has been played for decades for every ticket that is dismissed there are dozens that are simply paid, it is a revenue system at this point sadly
Got pulled in to the scalehouse in Oregon one time they ran me through the inspection station crawled under the truck wiggled and jerked on my quick connect airlines until they leaked air then put me out of service so I had to call 1 of their local service guys to come fix it... Dicks
Did you sue them
Its not on duty time to eat.
This channel has a very descriptive video on PC, with an ex dot officer of 30 years. By reading the comments, i suggest some of you try and find it.
1st and biggest mistake
You thought about “his” safety
Although he will “ NEVER” care about yours
It's my understanding that personal conveyance has to start and end at the same spot. For example, from terminal, shipper, or receiver to truck stop, restaurant, store, or home then back to where you started PC.
No that is partially incorrect. I can take my truck home. Driving to or from work you can use personal conveyance like it would be your own personal car. If you are on the road, drop a trailer, go shopping or to a restaurant, Yes then you are right your PC has to end where it started.
Damn..... When you'll going to realize, it doesn't matter what industry you're in there's always going to be someone who manipulates the law to get their agenda through. (ego or $$$)
This the comment right here... exactly. Sometimes its just ego to say 'cause I can'...
Every cop says thanks for taking the next exit, especially if the coffee there!
US SUPREME COURT HAS STATED THAT IF YOU BEING PULLED OVER BY LAWENFORCEMENT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PULL TO A WELL LIT AREA AS LONG AS YOU SLOW YOUR SPEED AND TURN ON YOUR HAZARDS!
I believe Tony was right about driving somewhere safe… if he was driving on a no shoulder, two lane road. On a highway I side with, if it’s a shoulder or emergency lane available then pull over when you can do so safely.
CB Radio in Your Truck is Trucking. That CB Usually makes The Day Go Better, Has Help Save Lives, and Time.
Except I can go hours or even sometimes a day or more without hearing any chatter or even a response on the CB. Nobody has them anymore.
The problem with PC is so many drivers are abusing it. I personally know drivers that will log out and remove their tablets from the stand and drive 300 miles before logging back in. Some will go on PC and drive hundreds of miles and then log on after their break is up and keep driving.
You can run unlimited on PC for certain reasons... and even if you're abusing it, it's 100% legal. There's like 3 or 4 things. Doesn't matter how far you're driving to get to, even loaded.
It's the DOT loophole, they made it! Don't be Jelly because us owner/ops don't have to abide with Cooperate rules.. Karen
yeah that's exactly what he did and got busted ! I tell you what it aint the first or last time he did it. He should be grateful that he got shutdown rather than getting into an accident he'd definitely get sued. he needs to reevaluate his choices and he says he's being driving for 5 years .
I would like to hear the explanation for why this driver had that much off duty driving. I skipped the middle of the video though, so maybe that got covered.
@@hansgarcia7629 Calmatè bro. Super trucker🤣
And where did you hear him say he was company. Assuming makes a person smell funny........sniff sniff,💩
Undercover Truck Driver. That was gold. 🤣🤣 Looking out for the officers safety was a good call. The officer should’ve appreciated it. Turning on your hazards, and slowing down told him you acknowledged him. It’s such a gray area. 😑
I thought we were running ELD .. what log books? I agree Tony did pulled in to safe spot we are a wide vehicle
I had a cop question me why I stopped so quick...
I seen him at the top of an exit standing still and then take off before I got underneath it. I pulled on the entrance ramp before he could light me up.
He asked. "why did you pull off like that?"
Because I knew you had me dead to rights.. bwahaha
I'm sorry but this video is completely click bait. If you watch the intro you really feel for the driver and think he's in the right about using PC for food. But once you stick around till the end of the video you find out he was on PC for 250 miles. This driver just got caught slacking, if you're gonna cheat on your logs try to blend in and shut off your blue lights SMH
Yeah !!! 250 miles to get food bro you got caught
And he wants to play the victim
Yep. I hate that Alex gets sucked into this, and still posts it. What a waste of time.
@@vendingdudes ok the cop falsified the report it wasn't 250 miles it was 65-70 but in a separate video he even said 100 miles he came back and changed it to make it worse than what actually happened
@@rickym180 wasn't 250 I have a separate video where he said 100 miles it was actually 65-70
