@@adventureswithhurt8195 Im never worried worried about DOT. In 10 years. They only pulled me to the back 3 times. They got me last week though. My battery went out on my signal pass. I went in with the ugliest trailer I have ever pulled, that was structurually ok. I have pulled damaged and recovered loads before. They dont count. The damaged trailers were not loaded. They stared at that trailer. Like it had been hit by every ugly tree on the road. I knew what was coming. I got a warning. Cause I wasnt even supposed to pull in to the weigh scale. That hideous looking trailer got the company in trouble. Not me.
I was north of Oklahoma City, and they were 4 DOT officers deep on the line into the weight station jumping up in the windows real quick checking the logs, CDL , paperwork, and at the front of line pulling certain verifies for inspections. They were looking for the holy grail of shit boxes Floridas heavy inspections are 75 North towards Gainesville and GA line
You watch, they're just recording the license plates of everything running this week and paying special attention later to all the trucks they didn't see, next week.
Yep, had a dot that was so determined one time that he had to pull on an airline and lift his full body weight off the ground to "show" that it rubbed on the diff. Repair order. Several times I've had Montana dot who were trying to make captain by midnight try and write me up for not having a tankers license. However as a Canadian we don't have tanker endorsement so under reciprocity agreement we are not required to have the endorsement. I don't know how many illegal tickets different dot have written based upon this but it really makes them mad when you deny them what they feel is easy money.
DoT is opening the back country weight stations i just went threw 3 off them and the ones i went threw are always closed. DoT aint dumb they know how we move
I want that to but you have to wake up to the reality of that is just a fantasy. It’ll never happen so focus your attention on something more realistic
Oregon was going hard 2 weeks ago with inspections from what i saw. I-5 and I-84. Some weigh stations that were usually closed were open. Today was slow from what I saw. Trucker path app is useful for keeping an eye out for what to expect ahead.
I definitely see a pattern of heavy enforcement happening the week before and after what's advertised. However, I did see a tour bus pulling in for inspection at the us93 scales in Kingman yesterday.
@@6gredlite907 Yeah, try that and see where that gets YOU. No its about the FMSCA not enforcing its own written laws. In fact, drivers need to start grinding them about it..daily. Call em out on it, and keep harassing them for follow up on your complaint, they sure harass us, and its only phone work to do it. They can't ignore it because its a legit violation complaint.
They could legally shut down all non English speaking drivers, but they won't even be expected because it's too much hassle and they don't want risk being accused of discriminating against "newcomers".
Corporate trucking not wokeness. It’s nothing to do with being afraid of discrimination but instead cutting cost with cheaper labor Don’t let yourself get fooled by the cultures wars, it’s always about the $
What do you mean? They have been shutting them down lately. Problem is they just start a new business name and start going again. But I Heard FMCSA is about to crack down in that next
Yup, I'm sitting at home this week.. I don't care to participate in the confiscation of my hard earned dollars and time. Hard to stay even more let alone get ahead without trying to meet a government set on meeting quotas and additional collecting more revenue. That does nothing for the people. it just grows the over sight and control even more.
Today was insannnneeee!!! North AZ, I 40 eastbound from Flagstaff past Holbrook. Literally pulling all commercial vehicle types. Doesn’t matter if you are local or not. I’ve seen multiple drivers doing the tractor protection valve test in the breakdown lane because the officers aren’t patient enough to find a safe spot. I’ve shared with all my co worker drivers and it saved their behinds. Thank you for the information and what to look for. It took me 1 hr to double check everything on my pretrip and test the protection valve, but it helped me pass my inspection.
They always start these blitzes early in the Northwest and usually for a whole week. I got inspected in Washington, several DOT acted like they were going to turn around and come for me in Montana, and at a rest area in Idaho the state trooper circled me twice while looking for a victim...when I got into Salt Lake, everyone was being pulled in and they were going hard on inspections. I've been parked for about a day now. 😊
Bro I've seen so many truckers say, "keep ur equipment up to par and nothin will happen." That only pisses them off enough to find the pettiest things like, "ur GPS is mounted 3in to high on the dashboard." Failed inspection for ur GPS being mounted to hi so it really doesn't matter how well ur equipment is kept, if the want a reason, they'll make one up.
I drove 4 hours today and passed several weigh stations. I only saw 2 trucks pulled over and only 1 truck in a weigh station...no, I didn't get pulled over either.
When I lived in CA I would always get hit with a roadside inspection in Bloomington near the Kinder Morgan fuel loading racks. That’s a favorite spot for them to write some quick tickets before the month is over.
Hey ya'll, I just got a level 1 inspection on I-40 eb Oklahoma state line scale. Lots of units out there and there pulling everyone across the scale. Got my window sticker!!😊
Slow business -low rate - high fuel price - not making enough to run my kitchen. Plus dot giving hard time. Dot never control rate. All the dot do abuse truck driver. We are working our ass off to keep broker customers on time.
Don’t forget ever more regulations every year. Soon there will be mandatory driver facing cams in every truck to watch the smile on your face livin the dream job
Husband got stopped in Jersey today. Was asked if he had business in New Jersey, he had a load going to McGuire AFB. They told him to pull around back. They were not doing truck inspections. They had armed treasury agents checking to see if trucking companies were in compliance with their state tax. Some obscure law we were totally unaware of as were other drivers that got stopped. They would not turn my husband loose until the guy we lease our truck to ponied up $7K in fines. Another driver got nailed there for $10K. My husband was there 2 1/2 hours barely made his delivery in time and missed his backhaul so had to come home empty so he could make a pickup tomorrow morning. He to deliver there again on Thursday. I hope our boss has this issue squared away. He was avoiding the turnpike to try and save money, instead it cost him. Has anybody else heard of this Jersey tax?
I go to Jersey every week. Heard that they just passed a minimum $1.5 million liability insurance... Law is not stipulating clearly if it's just for New Jersey companies or for everyone doing business there??? Looks like it's for everyone 😮😮
Funny you say that I left Nj at 10pm last night took a nap at the scale after DC and both scales on 85 are closed , I am at my buddies for the week haha no blitz for me
They blitz the truckers but they never blitz the 4 wheelers doin a 100+ mph, cutting off trucks, texting and driving, passenger vehicles with no headlights/Taillights, missing bumpers, no LIC plates, etc.
It’s blitz week every week in Washington state i5 between Portland and Seattle. They inspect as many trucks as they can and have multiple mobile dots pulling trucks over all day along the shoulder 365 days a year. Beware

The blitz safety inspections around the United States has nothing to do with safety it has to do with collecting revenue for the states in particular these officers pensions their retirement I was in the union for a lot of years and one day our supervisors came to us one day and told us they didn't make their donation to The DOT and that we would be getting pulled over a lot all of us drivers thought our supervisors were kidding they weren't we are getting pulled over right and left and then a few weeks later our supervisors came up to us and said everything was good and we weren't going to be getting pulled over again we never got pulled over after that again like I said this is a union company they don't mess with us we could be overweight and still they wouldn't bother us I was hauling a truck with a 3 axle trailer where I can only gross around maybe 92000 the most I ever grossed 177,000 three axle truck 3 axle trailer never bothered us like I said we are Union they leave us alone
It was raining all most of the Day today from SC,NC,FL and Part of GA that’s why they didn’t have that much action. Some of stations also was closed also.
Yes it was and I was back and forth SC/NC TODAY and I was glad to see the rain hopefully it’s raining tomorrow when I go through HEFLIN ALABAMA they love to inspect
CHP and CARB was out all over the place in CA. The normal places I’m used to finding them is where they were. They were even checking every semi coming out of the LA rail road to make sure they all passed the CA emission standards.
I was in Bensenville il and they had a portable scale literally on busse rd in front of the pilot cops were chasing down truck if they didnt get in line to weigh
@@mikewilliams3016 per CDOT From Sept. 1 through May 31, all commercial vehicles traveling on I-70 between the Dotsero exit (mile point (MP) 133) and the Morrison exit (MP 259) must carry sufficient chains to be in compliance with the Colorado chain law.
@mikewilliams3016 hey Mike, good morning. I will double check with CDOT or the CSP this morning when I get in to work, the information I have is from the CDOT website. I would love to take off this rusting iron off my hangers. I went through the port of entry at Dumont on I-70 yesterday and they asked me if I had chains and looked at the back of my tractor. Be safe.
Yeah, I agree with that first Truck Driver you talk to, they’ve been doing it sometimes three weeks early the past I would say four years or so. In some states, Ohio & Pa we’re hammering it hard, 2 weeks ago & I think they started & weeks ago on side, roads, rest areas and even pulling trucks off I-70 on the interstate into exit ramps on the west side of Ohio.
Blitz or no blitz, they always want your money, you ll never win in court, they should go after mega carriers, company drivers are different from o/o, good luck to you all, NO NAIL NO COP!
I am in Buffalo NY and they were open and aggressive on hwy 17. I notice very few trucks on the roads though. I wonder how much it hurt trucking activities
There is definitely action on 83 north bound here in Bensenville IL they put portable scale and pulling everyone over they are right by Pilot truck stop!
Wow, you drove far. You drove all the way to the loves in Fort Pierce… All the action is probably happening at the entrance into Florida right at the Georgia, Florida State line where they have all that agricultural stuff and the multiple weigh stations Or the stuff that’s near Jacksonville, Florida
For real, I think they're keeping it off the internet.Everything they're centering it because when I look on trucker's path.I can see all these open stations doing inspections.But I don't see anything on the internet.Anybody talking about it
They Need A Goal On 100,000 Pot Holes Road Signs New And Safe Parking For Trucks And Rest Areas And Any Infrastructure Damage Or Up Grades That They Can Fix In 48 Hours
These day's its better to drive for a company that pays by the hour and overtime pay after 8 hours in a day or at least overtime pay after 40 hours in a week. Why do truck drivers not get overtime pay. If you don't own your own truck then you should be getting paid by the hour and overtime pay. I do i don't have any tickets. Its because I take my time and i stop at all stop signs. A complete stop. 2 days off per week. Check the truck out before you drive it. If the DOT wants to inspect my company truck. I won't be angry about it at all. If theres anything wrong with the truck. The company i work for gets the ticket. I wouldn't work for a company that pays by the mile and no overtime pay whatsoever and then they pay you for 500 miles when the actual trip miles is 560 miles.
If you have everything in check you shouldn't have anything to worry about. 4he good truckers should be happu because the Blitz also nails immigrants that don't go by the rules & laws in place.
Question of the day? Are You Seeing A Blitz In Your Area??? City? State? Mile Marker?
They gave us a count down for hide and seek.😁
Im hiding.
@@c-w-h me too my company was salty asf with me. Told them Im running nights for a couple days l. My last week anyways

They were looking for the holy grail of shit boxes
Floridas heavy inspections are 75 North towards Gainesville and GA line
How about they do a Let’s Fix the damn roads Blitz ?!
BRO thank you lol
Drones over exits onto the interstate. Every vehicle failing to merge and yield safely gets a ticket
No doubt my teeth are rattled out of head wth
Exactly 💯
@Bone_Thug lol sure 😂
Who you work for
Must get paid hourly or owner opp
FIX THE ROADS
Make the lanes wider!!!!
You forgot the exclamation points and colorful metaphor!!! Oh and also the dynamite! 😂
Told my company I’m home all week got important stuff to do 🤣🤣
😂😂
Naw fr 😂
Yeah right
Yeah right
You watch, they're just recording the license plates of everything running this week and paying special attention later to all the trucks they didn't see, next week.
I’m going home for the rest of the week. Why risk getting harassed?
It’s over with after Thursday.
They gnna be looking to harass you anyways. Their computer tells 'em you missed out. I want to get it over with
It doesn’t matter how well you maintain your equipment. If they wanna find something they will find it.
No lol if u got top notch they can't do nothing
@@Austin.8150problem with that is the rates are such trash that I imagine a lot of drivers have let some of their maintenance go.
@RiZenAsH then it's there fault for the fixing it they got into trucking if u can't survive then find another job

All of the politicians have stock in Boeing.
The Blitz was Last Week-I Had a Level 2 Inspection in Illinois Last Week with No Violations.😊
No it starts today
@Mruca some states start early pal
I definitely see a pattern of heavy enforcement happening the week before and after what's advertised. However, I did see a tour bus pulling in for inspection at the us93 scales in Kingman yesterday.
Makes you wonder what they do when they come across those that can't speak or understand English?...Oh yeah, just send em on.
My friend said he witnessed that happen inside the scale house after the officer got tired of asking the driver questions that he couldn't understand.
@Nobluffbuff So do we got to purposely be stupid for them to just let us go
Depends who’s billionaire or mega corporations pocket their State governments in.
@@Nobluffbuff Absolutely, seen myself as well.

DOT going crazy in Texas😂😂
I believe it. Especially all local owner op. Some their truck are questionable just by looking it at 😂
Texas is what keep America running
All trucks with hanging front bumpers and Home Depot stickers 😂
Must be in a part I missed. I just came from Texarkana to Dallas and then Houston and didn't see much.
Man no kidding Dallas to El Paso today was bad

And they are most dangerous drivers
Last week WA had a ton of activity. Felt like they tried to get ahead of the guys who shut down during blitz.
They wonder why cops are not well liked
What kind of psycho thinks “hey! I’d like to become a dot officer!”?
Perfect time to go on vacation
gotta make sure freight is expensive as possible to keep inflation nice and high 👍
Yup, I'm sitting at home this week.. I don't care to participate in the confiscation of my hard earned dollars and time.
Hard to stay even more let alone get ahead without trying to meet a government set on meeting quotas and additional collecting more revenue. That does nothing for the people. it just grows the over sight and control even more.
One more chip bustard
Pennsylvania is full of inspections on every corner of the
I-80 in Pennsylvania is heavy with State Troopers in both directions pulling trucks over in the rest areas.

They blitz the truckers but they never blitz the 4 wheelers doin a 100+ mph, cutting off trucks, texting and driving, passenger vehicles with no headlights/Taillights, missing bumpers, no LIC plates, etc.

One thing i notice is midwest states and east coast participate in the blitz. most southern states dont even do it
It’s either they do it before or after Blitz day. Just keep your equipment in good shape at all time.

They are out on the 40 at Flagstaff. Over 50 deep. Stopping everyone both sides
I don’t know anything about Florida but I got pulled in at Shasta California weight station for level one

get out till the demand is real,
you'll know when wages increase and regulations decrease..

About 1.5 weeks ago around Orlando I saw like 20 inspections on the side of the road and cops just hunting truck drivers
I got inspected yesterday. Level 2.
That linens clause is crazy

DOT has knowledge during the inspection week each driver take cover. So, they start the slaughter on next days! LOL!
They are hot by the two biggest rail yards in Chicago BNSF LPC and Union Pacific Global 4 they are 15 mins apart
Stayed local in Chicago doing crosstowns 🤣 no highway for me
Is this a 24hr /day inspection within those days?
There was some action at the cajon pass weigh station in Cali last night.
KY is out if no one has said anything yet
If they just inforsed the federal law about speaking English and understand it this country would be a lot safer..
They Need A Goal On 100,000 Pot Holes Road Signs New And Safe Parking For Trucks And Rest Areas And Any Infrastructure Damage Or Up Grades That They Can Fix In 48 Hours
These day's its better to drive for a company that pays by the hour and overtime pay after 8 hours in a day or at least overtime pay after 40 hours in a week. Why do truck drivers not get overtime pay. If you don't own your own truck then you should be getting paid by the hour and overtime pay. I do i don't have any tickets. Its because I take my time and i stop at all stop signs. A complete stop. 2 days off per week. Check the truck out before you drive it. If the DOT wants to inspect my company truck. I won't be angry about it at all. If theres anything wrong with the truck. The company i work for gets the ticket. I wouldn't work for a company that pays by the mile and no overtime pay whatsoever and then they pay you for 500 miles when the actual trip miles is 560 miles.
If you have everything in check you shouldn't have anything to worry about. 4he good truckers should be happu because the Blitz also nails immigrants that don't go by the rules & laws in place.
