    Oddly enough this movie should be seen by both the hotshot driver & DOT Inspector.

    Well done. You only missed one thing. I got pulled over in TX, same routine. At the end he stuck a thin stick into my fuel tank... checking for dyed (farm) fuel that isn't taxed. Ruined his whole day, found nothing to get me on. 🤠👍

      I know, really. Every one I've encountered were absolutely po'd they didn't find something. If they do, their happy as clams as they pull a 'deadly' trucker out of service for some minor violation that could easily be corrected on site within a minute.

    Inaccurate depiction of the DOT inspector -- he wasn't acting like an a-hole. Points, however, for the donuts. And while I'm bitching, this is why I won't do this kind of work. I just can't deal with this level of government/bureaucratic BS. Kudos to you, Alex, for being able to.

    • @brianwalker1933
      @brianwalker1933 2 года назад +1

      Revenue collectors for their overzealous greedy power hungry masters, all in the name of “supposed safety”. This level of authoritarian “BS” is way over the top. I got out of this business of being self employed and went into a life of deceit. I got into politics. If you can’t beat them, then simply join them, l kid you not. 😊😂

    Good video. Quick add. 1: keep fuses on the pickup. And 2: if they ask when did you check your fire extinguisher/triangles, fluids, tires, lights, the answer is "this morning." Because you should, and also, that's the law.

    Nicely done. So I get pulled over in New Hampshire by a Trooper, once upon a time. And the fact first thing he asks me , is did I count my triangle reflectors when I did my pre trip today? I said no. He pulls a pad out of his back pocket and writes it down. Then he does a walk around inspection. And he didn’t fine me, but he did write up the triangle thing.
