Just got inspected in Arkansas, three officers went over my truck, inside and out. Not a single violation.❤️ Pretrips, and having a DOT certified mechanic comb my equipment on Monday, saved my bacon. They are looking for (1) elog compliance (2) brakes, tires, airlines (3) anything missing, broke, lose, and leaking. Also anything visually “off” on trucks. That’s 2 hours I’ll never get back on my logbook.
Just a heads up.
You don't run the 1st 12 hours of the Nationwide DOT extravaganza.. when they are rabid to find the smallest thing. Most states have shut down in 24 hours.. and have peter'ed out by 12 hours in. I've gotten tickets for "brake out of adjustment" .. when I had automatic slack adjusters that had no issues. If you don't like paying tickets for chickenshxx... Stay away from the inexperienced Troopers while they are being pressured to find something.
TIM YOUR BOYS ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE A DAD LIKE YOU BY THE TIME they go to get there CDLs they can teach the class., he's learning the way I did when I was 9yrs old
My fiance and I have a three-year-old daughter and she was told she was never going to be able to have children but we ended up with a beautiful daughter. She has stepped out to be the most amazing mom and it's like it's totally natural to her she just fell right into the role of ultimate Mom right away. Mothers do a lot and I know some people don't give them the recognition they deserve but how sometimes I can be that way but without her I don't think I can handle being a single dad. She is a blessing as well as our daughter.

Blitz week, PERFECT time to take a 34 reset🤣🤣🤣
I never have a problem with my 1986 Pete. Dot could not believe how well it is maintained! Not one problem was found! Be safe! OTR for Life 😎👍🏻
Tim, what you said during your intro to this video is exactly the truth. I have over 4 million miles over the road and my wife (39 years on 12/1 - been together 42+ years) is the foundation of our family. God bless all the mothers of there.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
First Mother’s Day without my mom, hold them tight and spend as much time as possible
Me too, lost mine in February 😢
26:11 trailer abs light will have a consistent 5vdc. This is a reference voltage that is absorbed to let the trailer abs module know that a light is installed. It will only have 12vdc upon key on or if there is a trailer abs issue.
“Alright driver your getting a level 1 inspection” lol I’ve heard that twice in the last month two different DOT. Gotta love being 30-45 minutes behind schedule. I’m home daily so that’s more time out of my day
I hope everyone can enjoy mother's day with their mother's. I lost my mother 3 and half years ago. I miss her. Enjoy the time you all have with your family. When there gone it's to late.
Praying for y'all brother 🙏🙏🙏 starts today. It's D.O.T week y'all got this
This man is tripping plum out lmao.
Also a little advice to the new drivers out there don’t suck up to those inspectors. They don’t want to talk to you nor do they wanna fuck with you but they have too. You make their life easy and they’ll make your life easy.
Do a proper pre trip, listen for air leaks, give them the proper paperwork in a binder because they love a organized driver, follow instructions, be respectful and DONT MAKE SMALL TALK. Act like you’ve been there before.. They don’t wanna be your friend lol.
Good too see the extra effort checking the rigs.
Man I hope inspections go smooth for you guys this week the DOT definitely aint on the truckers side they will search and search until they find something wrong. Best of luck to yall!!
So do I bud so I here in the UK 🇬🇧 every so many weeks full inspection
@@BartBieber The Left is pushing this cr__/p
Just drive a well maintained truck. Don’t put off repairs!!
Funny you said you would park your truck on blitz week. That was always the week my vacation week started
Got pulled in tonight at Fargo nd great officers. Truck and trailer got stickers
What a Perfect time for my Tractor ABS and check engine light to stop working...
Watch out Tim, DOT are looking for load securement and looking for ABS light, during the blitz, Brother. Keep on trucking. 👍
Tim your INTRO Make me LOL every time..But I love it. Guys And Gals be SAFE out there... God be with you,
Most led lights are polarity sensitive, must plug them in to the correct +/- terminal
There's a bus depo down the rd from me, does an inspection on every bus as they enter the depo! Everything gets checked!
About mudflap reflectors if your truck was produced before 1997 you don’t have to have them nor do you have to have rear of cab reflectors it’s right in your little green book but….. good luck convincing some rookie dot officer of that even if you can show him in the book
Keep making RUclips videos the more you'll get inspected.
You all be safe out there this week and every day coming !!
Hey Tim watch your unassigned drive time when not logged in. A DOT officer can see the truck moved without a active driver and assign that time to the driver. The log function should have a place for the driver to reject the unassigned drive time prior to his trip. Also be sure the drivers are certifying their logs daily. It shows the officer they are on top of it.
I am not familiar with Motive
Thanks for the info brother
@@Gentryandsons yes we can
Last video air lines and cord rubbing fender!
Seen the green coronado rolling westbound I 80 in Nebraska. Good luck at North Platte on this 1st day of the blitz. Good to see the trucks of somebody I follow running up and down these roads.
Thanks brother good luck, he’s headed to Idaho
Guess you and your son dont need seatbelts while driving!!! D.O.T dont worry about stuff like that
And having video evidence for anyone to see them doing it too…
I hte abs ghost signals always had one on Wabash trailers hope all drivers stay safe
I know small trucking companies can't afford it but during blitz week everyone should take a vacation. It might show how critical the trucking industry is
Question,
Have you heard about halfass custom? Their shop burnt down also! I'm hoping that since we've all helped you out and went right to your rescue. I think it's time to pay it forward and help him out also. I'm hoping your gonna reach out to him and give a helping hand.
Did it burn down cause it was built half-ass??
You really think he going help out this guy really playing his cards ♦️♦️ good on his number one fans 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's first thing I said wen ever one jump out there bed and time you think he do same yea right he hard with money tell people he needs 500kback cuz that's what was worth in fire gfoh all that junk he had in back not running but telling people all them trucks were good running trucks keep listening 🎧🎧🎧 dummies not 1 time I never seen him gave back ...
I'm in Florida. I went to get my truck and saw dot had 4vtrucks pulled over. I'm legal but not getting a warning and my insurance going up.
Mack truck is running a 4s/4m set up. 4 wheel speed sensors and 4 pulse modulators. It’s working correctly. Some other units may be set up for 6s/6m.
Most guys I know shut down blitz week, We had those cameras for years in horse semis we could see all the horses in the stalls going down the road in case there is a problem like a horse going down.
Hey Tim! I always cut windshield fluids with water in the summer ...I used to just use water in summer when I had no money, but for bugs water and add a teaspoon of dish soap work great for bugs..🙏🙏🙏👍👍
Hi Tim Maitanance is saving you money !People who look after their rigs tend to save money in the long run ..I was the same with my gear every time I left home I did 10 minutes check and it worked a treat ..Glad you taking safety seriously kudos to my friend stay safe God Bless your Family happy days ❤️❤️💪💪👍👍😄🙏🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Out of 25 trucks 12 were company drivers and only seven of them really gave a crap about their truck.
Ran my last trip on the 15th and told the office to keep me off the road until the blitz is over. Truck is good but all it takes is an aggressive officer to make a day go wrong.
They got me yesterday. Put out of service for brakes adjustments smh. Luckily it was something I could fix and kept pushing.
MD DOT used to have a volunteer inspection program where you get a DOT officer to inspect to pass inspections and get a sticker for 2mo or so.
That's why you pull your rig off the road for preventive maintenance if you can and take a short vacation while it's happening. Sounds like the regulatory auditors in my line of work when they show up and if you're clean they stay longer because you just HAVE to be guilty of something they can fine you for. I've seen financial auditors stick around for weeks beyond their normal schedule because they can't take any more money out of your pocket for any legit errors.
I had a fuel tax audit like that. We went back and forth for weeks and we won. They are relentless to try to create a problem
I like that your on top of safety inspections so many times I see trucks with a brake or turn signal light not working some body is not doing a proper pre trip I always did when I was a trucker
That's the best part about running local in Oregon. Oregon doesn't participate in the national DOT blitz. They have their own 3-day inspection blitz.
I passed a truck that looked liked the second one Friday in Louisiana. I only got one good side look while steering an empty MV4300 Eastbound through the Rodeo Section of I20 around Ruston or Monroe!! I hit one hole that made Spotify skip!!!
PA got me today coming in on 79 north. My ABS light on my trailer came on literally 20 miles beofre the weight station. I had already been on the phone with my company and was headed to loves!!!!
Center, "blue wire" is always constant for a.b.s./meritor system, black/brown is power for markers, green/yellow turn, white ground. Abs should have constant power and only illuminate for 3 seconds when plug is inserted and it runs its check, if it only illuminates when brakes are pressed its either wired incorrectly or has a bad connection somewhere. Also prior to I believe 1998 trailers older don't require abs to run legally
Tim doing altro tell everybody thank you for watching and come back
Great job you are doing with your son teaching and learning him about your business and Trucking
It happens twice every year nothing new if you keep up your equipment you should have nothing to worry about. Those drivers are supposed to inspect thier trucks everyday.
U , WORRY , DOT DOES NOT CARE , GOV,T IMPLOYEES $$ , TO KEEP THIER JOBS , AN PENTIONS...! DO NOT DR BIG RIGS!!!
Dad's a great 👍 help 👍 tim loving thus video again
I still say 2 add rizers on 5th wheel because 5th wheel is too low on the Black 389
Dang Steve has more big screens on his dash than Best Buy lol
Hope all the trucks. Make it threw the dot with flying colors this week
Brakes Hubs ABS Hours of service be safe everyone 👊🔥
18;00 tone ring gap check wheel bearings torque
I don't see how you guys ever fail an inspection with how detailed you are. every truck and trailer! 34:05
Chrome fenders are pretty but them black plastic one will stand up to a company driver better
Yeah but he’s more about pretty and ego than functional, durable, and economical.
Maine checks the steering and tires real close too. The officer put his finger where the shaft comes out of the steering gearbox and got a little oil then when turning the wheel hard left got it to leak a little. Put me out of service. That's on a 2018 truck
Tim put it on personal conveyance your e-log
I would deduct it from their pay. Do that a couple of times and maybe they would respect your equipment.
got to have them on the mud flaps to and back of cab😂
Drove 47yrs I never seen dot stop a state truck or twp truck in those inspections!
Tim love the channel.. you might want to pay attention on how you edit. Might be incriminating your self. I don't want that to happen to you just want the best for you and yours..
Seen your green freightliner in California last week. Talked to driver on the radio. Good lookin truck
they will write tickets for the abs light not having abs stamped on the light or a sticker next to the light saying abs.
If you tie your air lines up your fenders won’t get scratched in your last video when truck left air line’s were rubbing fender😊
I've been hiding in the work zones paving roads avoiding the blitz
Don't forget your fire extinguishers
The exception only applies to travel trailer new from manufacturer to dealer. Boats must have a ELD log book if commercial.
I think having a RUclips Channel is hurting you more then you know. You have made how you feel about the E Logs.
Yah but I’m embracing it and trying to get with the times and work with dot!! I just interviewed a dot officer yesterday
@@Gentryandsons You interviewed a dot officer? What does that mean?
It is very hard to find a company driver that takes care of equipment like an owner operator. It sucks your fenders already got scratched. My boss had the mentality of chrome don’t make money. But I told him shippers see a good looking truck. They know their equipment is going to be taken care of the same. He just never understood.
They are in full force here in canada as well stay safe out there everyone
My stomach turned in knots, when I saw that I can only imagine how you feel. The left fender might buff out I don’t see the right rear fender buffing out all the way
Love the new intro! Best of luck to y'all!!
I hear an airleak on your test drive in the cab
Stay strong and keep on going
Every truck should have 4 cameras....mandatory
Going be checking them myself
💰💰💰 BLITZ WEEK ADVICE Scale houses and DOT officers are setup for safety they are paying attention to safety REGARDLESS OF BLITZ WEEK
24-7 and all 365 days of the year 💰💰💰
MY ADVICE IS……. Do what your wallet can stand !! It’s make it or break it !!
Love a Mack! Got my license in a '62 cabover
Awesome how your videos start off now
Good morning Tim 17
.05 great 📷 system making save travel for drivers and public
Most trucks only have ABS on one drive axle and the steer axle , that's why your rear axle is not showing wheel speed.
Thanks for the info still learning the abs
Good job Tim you must be 1 step ahead❤
I always hated D.O.T week.. hauling cars around the clock in ny , PA, and Ohio. Man there was alot of detours. Lol
AMEN BROTHER❤️
And they were all Peterbilt just not decked out with $200,000 worth of upgrades. Like they wanted.
The only time that light is to come on is when you cycle the key or You Skid tires and the ABS throws a code. If you step on the brake the light comes on that means there is no power coming out of your axillary pin in the pigtail usually it's just a 30 amp fuse in the truck has to say trailer ABS not truck ABS .When you step on the brake and the light comes on that means there's no power going to the trailer ABS from the truck you wouldnt think so because the light came on but you can believe what you want.
Just had a big meeting at work about this abs tires etc.
After seeing the insurance video and all the other crap you've been through...I'd sell everything,buy two new trucks and drive for FedEx Custom Critical.
Between the 2 you should easily make $600k a year and save a butt load in fuel costs because 99% of the loads are well under 10.000 pounds. A family member has been with them for 15 yrs and makes killer money.
It’s definitely a thought
@@Gentryandsons give em call. I'm straight up with you. 90% of the loads will fit into a small van. Very few are much over five thousand pounds. Only thing is you need r drivers who will team, pass government background checks because you will haul military loads/secret cargo loads, has passport for Canada (if you want to go,not a have to) and stay out for 3 weeks at a time. Longer they stay out, longer the runs. You only need a fairly new truck and you can rent a refer trailer from them at a good rate so you don't have to buy your own.
When I drove with him I've seen....$12k from NY to CA, $5k in 5 days at an airport never moved the truck, $3500 for 300 miles. They haul very valuable high end freight and they pay very well.
@@silverback8183 that sounds great
Ind scales on 70 at Richmond working hard
love the new intro! 🔥
Killing us with those ads man 😅😅
That mack bulldog semi truck looks awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks brother
I had flap hangers with lights and nice weights, but no reflection device on the flap, I was hooked to a trailer, Sioux falls chicken house didn't care, they wrote me for it, only thing he could find
You didn’t check the tractor protection value, or the city horn .
you an son brax work so well together...
But ignores other son saying daddy, daddy at start of video?
@@JoeParlous well, you only see 30 to 40 mins a week, so you really dont know what he does with his other kids.
I think the ABS shyt dot is pulling is bullshyt if you got something wrong with abs it will not cause your brakes not to work they will work the old way before abs was ever put on a vehicle
well tim that time of the year and not talking chrismas very cool intro tim loving it
Like the new opening to the channel
