Can you please do a video on the marksondriversettlement
I kinda feel bad for golf cart hauler
Good info
"That tire" was NOT a "racing slick".
It was a special flavor of tire called a:"Maypop".
@@redrum3075 trying? They doing it
As a trucker I’m glad this guy is on the road keeping everyone safe.
Bootlicker is what you are!
Shut up ! This is about money
Lol
They don't give a fk about your safety
😗😗🍑🍑
I hate to be put out of service, but if there's something wrong that I haven't seen, I'd like to know, we're not all 100 percent perfect even though we try. I'm not a enemy of the DOT, they're just doing their job keep me and other people safe on the highways, now treat four wheelers the same as us.
Most of them have Stock Brakes while the car being from 2000s
Yea except it goes on your file and your insurance may go up and brokers don't want to use you
Amen brother!!!
Good medicine has bitter taste but is good for body. Good job officer..
@Dwayne Murphy with that logic we will end up like North Korea. You really think DOT gives a shit about safety, it’s just a money grab that’s protected with promoting safety. We all know the last 2 years about that safety bullshit. Your not an enemy if you state the facts about what’s going on. Osha was about safety and look what they did. OSHA is a joke as well.
I think what this officer is doing is great. His approach towards everything is commendable.
He doesn’t act like an A-Hole and he actually gives them a chance to repair the issue instead of treating truckers like garbage
Agreed
They all give you a chance to repair. Doesn't remove that Out of Service off your report tho...🤦🏾♂️
@@Selfmade44 don't be complacent or lazy and you won't have these issues. If you work for a company that doesn't keep thier equipment up to standard's then to protect yourself and other's by leaving that company and working for a reputable company.
Remember if you get caught with a deficiency then you own it regardless who owns the truck.
@@williamelliott....I think you miss read what I said.
Right! And I think most folks really have no idea how high a standard truckers and their trucks get held to. People aren’t afraid of trucks at all.. and unfortunately they drive that way too🫣
It is always good to see a real professional and respectable DOT officer doing his or her job in a professional manner.
Cheers to that DOT officer.
It's always been the case in the 10 inspections that I have had. Be respectful to the officer and they will normally reciprocate. Be an a$$ and expect that in return.
@@Doug-gp2qw I once nearly got a ticket in Cali because my tandems were too far up. The officer was giving me a chance to fix it and my hotheaded team partner was being a jerk to the officer even though I was the one driving. The officer told me when I went inside my partner nearly cost me a ticket because of his attitude. I don't drive with that guy anymore.
This dude seems like a good knowledgeable officer. With all the new truckers out there, its good they're doing this tbh.
and not just new truckers, old truckers (like all long term professionals) have a tendency to get complacent at times and forget or overlook things that they should and do know.
I'm not a trucker, but I recognise that in myself and try to guard against it, but I know I sometimes slip up as does everyone.
Saw another video showing that such things aren't always even deliberate lately. Truck was overheight, not because they deliberately overloaded it but because the tarp covering the top had come loose while driving and was flapping, load started shifting slightly and piled up a bit.
Driver didn't notice until he passed an overheight detector on the approach to a tunnel, stopped and the police pulled up (which is standard practice here).
I think he got an escort to a safe parking spot, fixed the problem, and went on his way. He might also have been fined, not sure, guess it'd depend on whether the cops had met their quota for fines for the month yet.
It’s good to see courtesy and professionalism on display. I once had my paperwork (logs, BOL, registration) actually THROWN back to me across the counter at an Ohio weigh station. I picked the scattered mess up and returned to my truck. Nope. I hadn’t broken any laws or been rude. The lady said my logbook should be “open to the current day” when I hand it to her. It was raining outside, so I had closed it up to keep the pages dry.
I’ve been driving for 44 yrs and never had a problem with the DOT, I couldn’t even tell you how many inspections I’ve been through… I was going to Dillon Mt on Monday 5-16-22 and got stopped for an inspection at Sage Junction POE north bound I-15… Bottom line is do your pre trip and post trip and never take junk on the highway… No matter what your company says…
44 YEARS Holy mackerel! You must be one of those guys who never gets frustrated
@@Lost_AtSea_ Yep 44 yrs on July 13th 2022.. I started my first job driving in 1978 and worked there for 22 yrs then went to another company for 15 years now on this job for 7 years come July 20th… I have cut back now to part time and only drive when the get real busy… Lol and yes I get damn frustrated at times…. Times have really changed so much sense I started, automatic transmission they can have them I hate them.. All the automatic breaking systems,lane departure systems and all the other crap they are coming up with is ridiculous. Just let me drive my own damn truck and I’ll be fine…. Have a great day 😀
Emphasis on the "no matter what the company says"
@@kevinmyrick6736 company driver too? Hats off to you sir! I couldn’t handle company driver for more that 4 years. Governed trucks, lane departure systems, safety department constantly hounding you, dispatchers working you to death! Small pay. So I went and bought my own truck and started my authority. Couldn’t be happier. Been driving for 8 years now. I take two loads a month and relax for the rest. It’s almost like being retired
@@Lost_AtSea_ Fantastic sounds like you are doing well for yourself. Trucking isn’t what it used to be.. Keep up the good work my friend….
The DOT cop is doing his job, if you don’t want to get put out of service make sure your shit is right
Bootlicker is what you are!
Exactly pre trip and post trips aren't optional there mandatory. I like getting dot inspections and getting the csva sticker. Some of these newer drivers think you can just jump in and go not thinking about the public's saftey
you can do a 1 hour pretrip and dot still find an airleak that developed after you got on the road......
@@adriannewman1322 some of the older drivers too don't just single out new drivers....
@@adriannewman1322 Good Luck getting a cvsa sticker since the ELD came out..They will find something guaranteed.
Ok so I'm not mad at this at all. DOT inspections honestly are necessary. We all see alot of us on the road with equipment that should not be in operation. The actions of a few definitely affect us all when something goes wrong and God forbid there is a major injury or worse. I personally take pride in my pretrip which is a bit over the top but I have to take it far. Things I can't control I can stomach. The things that I can but choose to ignore is a big shame on me.
I’d like for him to do my inspection every time ! Be blessed mother truckers
Been trucking since I was 25, I'm 31 now. Its a good thing this is happening because companies will force to to drive defective vehicles and if you complain, your the problem!
Always, ALWAYS, remember this, you are the captain of that ship ! If your dispatcher tells you to just go with it after you reported a problem, go to safety ! Tell them who and what they told you ! If they say nothing, you're at the wrong company !!
You can always stop at a scale house and request an inspection if you are being ignored by your company. You may get in trouble by the company but you are covering your butt.
Why you didn't just say you been trucking for 6 years...lol. you made it sound like you been trucking since BJ & The Bear.
I wish all dot officers be so Nice n professional like that officer God bless you thank you for Keeping us safe on the road.
All but one of the many CMV officers Have dealt with were very professional and courteous. The one was just having a really bad day.
@@Bendigo1 Thank you for the kind words towards the Commercial Motor Vehicles Enforcement Officers out there. It was professional and courteous DRIVERS like yourself that made me want to get my CDL after recently retiring from CMV enforcement.
@@SB-zy7wy The way I see it, we both have a job to do, if i do my job well it makes their job easier and vice versa.
I have never thought of it as us against them, but as a team effort to keep everyone safe.
Got inspected yesterday in Kansas, very professional officer, level 1, passed no violations . In a small town and was told first one today with no violations.
At truck driving schools, they should be required to have a DOT officer teach truck inspection. I went to one for my class A, (I already had my class B), I had to show the students I was with all the stuff the instructor left out.
Ya know I agree, and I also think DOT officers should also be required to go through school and acquire their CDL as well.
@@noaht5191 Many of the instructors are wasting oxygen the rest of us need. When I went to school for my class A, there was one instructor who really stood out. Me and 2 other students pitched in and bought him a box of his favorite cigars.
Good reply and the schools and new drivers would greatly benefit from that.
I did too, I had a small crowd around me that knew nothing about trucks. I used to work on them via general maintenance. It was kinda cool actually, sucked I didn't get paid for it though lol
DOT cops are only looking for violations (tickets/paychecks),you need a well qualified mechanic to explain proper pre/post trip inspection and why it is important.
This is how I expect DOT officers to be.
Correct
Yeah the problem is many of them are control freaks and A holes.
I can't believe dude, didn't think he needed CDL. Got put out of service.
Getting a DOT inspection has been part of the business for a long time as a Texas heavy holler. Nothing out of the ordinary things that should be in good health anyways if you're doing your job correctly
If you cant properly spell a simple word that a 3rd grader would know, "hauler" not "holler" you shouldnt be driving a truck.
Hes doing his job.. and also informing.
Always something new to learn from him
Can’t hate a man for doing his job and trying to keep it safe out there And you can always learn a thing or two no matter how long you bin truckin loads
Man ! I wouldn’t mind an inspection by this guy. He is very professional and seems to be courteous .
Not all of them are like that.
This needs to be a part of the curriculum in training schools since they are mandated now for new CDL drivers.
With my relatively vast spread of experience with auto and truck repair/maintainence and currently in my last days in CDL training, I see a lot of people they have absolutely no clue as to why they’re doing a pre-trip other than just to memorize enough to get through and pass a CDL Exam, even after the week of in-class education. They have no idea to ACTUALLY LOOK OVER the truck and trailer to identify potentials for catastrophe in the other vital systems or how to interpret the gauges in the instrument cluster. They’re not getting taught the safety aspect or as to why each component does what it does and what function it serves and how important that function is when you’re hauling multiple thousands of pounds of weight, keeping it under control, operational, at the proper temperatures, proper levels, and hermetic. There simply is no time to condense all of that relevant matter into the curriculum.
I really believe it should be mandatory elementary education for ALL drivers when they recieve class C training (automobile) considering the equipment being ran by all of us on the road is DEADLY. But thats my $.10.
I advise everyone who wishes to become a truck driver or to hold a (drivers license) CDL, to educate yourself on how these vehicles work, all of the integral parts and their functions, and how they relate to the truck far before you put yourself into the mix of Training. I feel then and only then would you get the true benefit of what the instructors have to offer you, and will give you a great benefit in an advantage in your studies. Trust me the whole time you were there you had better be studying your ass off during class and when you get home. Plan on it and you will be planning for success.
Especially if you’re coming out of pocket, not everybody who gets in a truck in training school gets a CDL remember that!!!!
Work HARD on it, and you will succeed!
Good luck out there! Be safe!
🚛💨🚚💨😎👍🏾👍🏾
That's the value of perspective, if you have experience repairing something you know what common failures to look for vs someone with no repair experience that is told "look for anything broke". Drivers in time will learn all the things to watch out for just as entry-level mechanics will learn all the common/often seen faults/repairs on the equipment that comes across their bay.
You should seriously consider doing a RUclips channel. All of us new drivers would greatly appreciate you sharing your vast wealth of knowledge.
It is in training.
B b b ut the shop mechanic is supposed to do the pre-trip..........aren't they? Is what I got told by a new driver after I found a broken 3rd axle torque rod. New as in first job out of driving school. He hasn't improved much since either 😕
There is a fine line between policing for profit and safety.
I agree 100%
Profit hell there's no profit out here anymore that's a long gone thing.
Oh it’s all profit just not for you
@@Weirddog806 show me and others you are full of crap
I drove 21 years and never had a problem with DOT unless it was warranted by a faulty part, which only happened twice in all that time. Inspect your rig, fix anything that needs fixing and Truck Up, stay safe drivers!
Truckee California finally indicted for racketeering and conspiracy fraudulent siding and repairing I was one of the ponds victims I can testify to same authorities are not your friend it was ruled they can lie cheat steal plant evidence murder people
I know all my stuff is good but it's that one little thing that can get you put out of service that you never seen! That's my problem with level 1s. Everybody needs to keep their equipment in top notch condition, but I feel like sometimes I wish we could get a break for something that's small and hard to notice
👍 exactly, let me go, keep it moving
Yes, hard to notice. Like when I got wrote up (NOT put out of service though) for an air leak "somewhere around the drive axles"..... he couldn't even find it AND it only leaked when I was pressing the brake pedal! Now how is it a driver get the ding on something he couldn't POSSIBLY have found without an assistant when the "expert" inspector never found it? In fact, without finding how'd he have the authority to write it?
Some of these guys are pretty reasonable (like this guy seems to be) and some are just revenue collectors.
@@mikeb8342 that is some bs rite there broh 🤠
Good job korndog,👍 I've been trucking here for 43 years now and I enjoy meeting officers like him. Honest people just doing his job not being a jerk.
Now that boys and girls was a good DOT officer!
He just doing his job and seems to me he is a honest cop. Thats what i like about him he points out what needs to be done with the driver. Its common knowledge to check your truck every weekend to make sure u have every thing in place. If u spend 3 hours looking at football games u could spend at least an hour to make sure your breaks or in place and check for leaks. The thing about a pre trip it gives u a list of what the DOT checks and all u have to do is check off on the list. Its not rocket science people, all u have to do is take out some time and put some work in your truck. You do that and it will go well with you and u will be on your way to your destination. A lot of people say its about the money but looking at the news they need officers to keep people in check because i seen some trucks that i would have put out of service if i was an officer. I dont blame them for being out here doing there job. If u are doing your part then u dont have to worry about the blitzzzzz.
I almost daily fail trucks on annual inspections, the few real Drivers(professionals) need to treated as the national treasure they are.
Idk if that hot shot was just a company driver that got lied to or what.
“Aw, you can drive it. It’s just a pick-up truck. DOT is not looking at you. They want the big rigs!”
But if you KNOW you’re over 26,000, you don’t take that chance. DOT is ALWAYS checking for you!
DOT love hotshot drivers just for that reason most of them do not have a cdl and have no clue what they are doing
Most people will say "it's only 3 golf carts, there is no way it's over 26k" when they have no idea that everything is based on gvwr and not the actual weight
I’ve never been a fan of DOT . But the things I’ve been seeing on the road I understand. It’s good to see the Point of view of the other side. If truck drivers can be on RUclips reporting the bad DOT then the DOT Should do the same with lazy truck drivers! DOT / State troopers some state is different
So basically he checks everything a new trucker has to identify in there pre trip before moving onto the backing and then drive test.
Now this guy was not an asshole. I know we need a check system for safety, i get that. The rub is getting the company and customers to fully cooperate that when repairs are needed and delays are created, not to kill the drivers for it. Correct when we say " yeah but their are companies and drivers that refuse to pay for repairs." Thats true. I believe the punishment needs to be applied to the real cause of the problem. Be the companies or drivers. That being said, do drivers carrers need to be destroyed?
If you as a driver know it's unsafe, the "well, I'd lose my job if I didn't listen to my boss" isn't a defense.
35 years of driving I never had a bad deal with DOT. I am happy they are there. Everyone on occasion slips and will miss something. Complacency is easy to fall into. DOT inspections help everyone.
He seems fair and honest, good job 👍🏽
Good man! I do appreciate him for his extra effort to teach all.
We need more DOT guys like him I appreciate his attitude and seems like he understands that stuff happens. Just imagine what it would be like if we didn't have DOT
Good job officer, life is short enough with out getting taken out by another trucker. Stay safe!
Im stayin off the road 😭
Got inspected yesterday at flagstaff Arizona heading back home to California got my stickers and was on my way✌🏾
Hats off to that DOT OFFICER for pointing things out for us truckers. Never Stop Learning. For those of you who already know everything (super truckers)
He seemed fair in his process and we as trackers need to keep our trucks in good working condition for our own safety and others on the road. Good video.
Good video Sir’s…
Got to stay on top of the maintenance and definitely the items that are spot on DOT safety checks… stay safe
This was informative. I'm in prestudy for my cdls. I'm glad to have found quite a few channels that give me a good idea of things to look for and keep in mind. Thanks.
I'm glad they do they conduct this yearly blitz screen. I can only imagine what the state of SOME of these rigs would in otherwise if left up to the divers to inspect and repair! I know a few who skip the pre/post trips altogether on a regular basis!
I appreciate him man, keep us safe out here
Respect to the DOT for educating the driver's doing his job honestly. Mack Colorado Port of entry got me for 5 warped fifth wheel bolts on rails. There's 12 to 15 and a small section in the FMCSR that says it's a out of service event after they do a math equation. The small scale inspection lady that sounded like a drill Sargent put me on a conditional out of service so I could go to her cousin at the Peterbilt dealership next to the Ambest to repair. We learn something new every day and I have mad respect for the DOT officer you featured.
Good of the officer to take the time to help us out. Good pretrips: so important.
This gentleman saves lives.
I love that he and others are doing videos on their inspections.
I'm working on getting my Class A CDL. I just completed 48 modules on the J.J. Keller Training. It was a great course and went through all aspects of driving a truck. Pre trip and post trip inspections is a must. Keeping a DVIR up to date and also keeping your ELD up to date are always first priority.
Best of luck out there to you all. Videos like this help the rest of us learn how much work goes into trucking. A lot of these pre trip checks go unnoticed to non truck drivers and average people forget this stuff isnt easy. God bless.
Not just pre and post insp! Check it at your stops could find and fix a problem before you get bear bitten.
Thank you Mr. Korndog on behalf of all my customers. I'm picky who. I provide service to, and you sir are helping my customers by catching their crappy competition.
Good catches! Never got put out of service for major safety issues. Only once had to restrap a lumber load I had received during a steady rain...just threw an extra strap through middle of center to match how I had it on the front and back...tighten tarp...back on the road again. Oh, and I also had to spread my tandems apart after coming from BC where spread tandems are not permitted.
As long as you do a complete pre trip (no shortcuts) then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Why wouldn't you want your 40 ton, 80 mph piece of machinery to be as safe as possible?
very informative glad he is out there we need more like him!!🥰
one shop i worked at being a heavy duty wrecker service , body shop and was also a DOT inspection center , the spots and points here are some of the main areas that need most attention as it often goes overlooked by Mechanics for just wanting to get the job done and on the road asap , they are not out to burst a bubble but to do a job on Safety for you and others on the road , to see some of the aftermath of accidents is really shocking and yes even remains about the area , Big Rigs are like having a Trains driving on regular streets , glad to see this kind of protection helping save lives ,,, well done Officer with Integrity of Respect
Shoutout to korndog man. Good dude. keeping truckers safe and responsible.
I see this video as very informational and its definitely going to make most owner ops such as my self stay on our toes and check everything that they are looking for thanks for the video
I wear my cvsa sticker proudly. It makes me feel appreciated for keeping my truck and trailer in tip top shape
This is actually really good on so many levels. 🙏🙏
Was driving through Idaho yesterday, and yup the scale houses was packed with trucks and DOT officers doing inspections. Later on there was a mobile home hauler that blew out 2 tires and smoke was pouring out from under the home bad, me and another driver tried to tell the guy put he just kept going. He was pretty much riding the rims.. so yeah glad they are doing this check..
The reason your subs are scared to death about this blitz is plain and simple.......
THEY DON'T PRETRIP, POST-TRIP‼️
Everynight while I am preparing for my day, including pre trip, I see drivers stirring around in their truck getting dressed what have ya. Then they start the truck and leave. MANY drivers don't pre-trip‼️‼️‼️
Do your shit and do it right there is nothing to worry about. Been stopped twice. Both time, in & out with an "atta boy" once and a "good job driver" the second. Its a cake walk if you do what you're suppose to do.
Good cop being transparent.
Doing His Job!! Fellow Drivers Do Yours, STARTING with Pretrip INSP and again when you stop for fuel , breaks or anytime something sounds off…. In Other Words Learn Your Equipment!! We All Have A Job To Do
Be safe out there Korndog. Keep up the good work.
#GIVETHEMSOMEROOMTOWORK!!!
Corn dog ... What a breath of fresh air.... Your so awesome. Stay awesome . I support you .
As long as u keep your unit clean and maintained, you usually get waived by. They out there looking for those guys who can't wipe their lights clean, and have dirty windows. If u can't do the simple stuff, they know u didn't bother to check your unit correctly.
Sometimes so true! If your truck looks like an escapee from the crusher it will get you special attention you do not want!
I don't understand... If your hauling and have nothing wrong, like you should, why worry? Js.
Exactly, because if your equipment is in good shape and you get CVSA stickers out of the inspection, you get at least 90 days of free pass without another DOT inspection.
He is basically doing what we as drivers are required to do and had to prove efficiency in during the walk around for our Class A driver test, at least in California and when I had to take the test.
Drive safe and with safe equipment and youhave nothing to worry about
Excellent video - Glad to see the police trying to keep us safe I am 100% ok with that. Fear of being put out of service = safer trucks.
It seems and sounds that he is a professional in his job i respect that but like anything else there's good apple and bad one !! Thank you for doing your job sir !
Had my first inspection today pulled in cause I was over weight on my trailer tires. Passed the inspection part. A good pre trip goes a long way
Thank you officer from us truckers!!!!
I was put out of service for 8hrs yesterday by exceeding my allowed driving time by an hour.
Should’ve been hauling baby formula huh good luck trucker
@@safetrucker 😂
Happened to a friend of mine (RIP Howard Anthony)
Why did you drive more than 11 hours?
I get inspection once and DOT found brake chamber leaking,I wasn't loosing pressure on my Guage so he send me on my way,,
Fair enough. He seems like a good guy. I've never had issues with state troopers or DOT inspectors. That said, what about all the junk cars and trailers on the road that not one cop will ever look at? It's not just commercial vehicles that can kill.
Great info ,the little things will get every time , stay safe n the ruber side down
Listen kids ... That guy right there is making sure that we're not all driving unsafe junk.
Don't curse them ... I'm an old man, and I remember when almost all company drivers were driving worn out, used up, filthy junk, that needed daily maintenance from the driver, who was also the mechanic.
Be glad they're here making sure that you and everyone else is safe ...
Why don’t I ever see these cops checking Amazon or Walmarts trucks? Oh because those companies take subsidies and kickbacks from the taxpayers to be able to afford all the nice shit. If you know you know.
I'm a new CDL (Class B, with air brakes). Am I missing something, because all of the coverage seems to be part of a thorough and proper pretrip, with the possible exception of the air line leakage? I'm enjoying the channel Mr. Mutha'!
My dad(who just passed away in January) was regional manager of Kenan Advantage tank lines for a couple decades and dispatcher before that! Omg he would NEVER let one of his trailers off the lot in such disgraceful shape!! That's putting so many lives in jeopardy! ✌🐢
Happens every year , pretrip in texas that means drivers goes under truck to ck slack adjuster, but most just jump in and start truck and go once she is ready to release brake
This all basic pretrip inspection knowledge you should be looking at everyday. No surprises, just due diligence. And know your air brake inspection.
And new, potential drivers. Don't cry the blues when examiners seem over picky when testing you. Know your stuff and retain the knowledge. The job of a driver touches so many lives everyday.
That guy seem very professional and cool.
Good job DOT officers 👮♂️
If that trailer is RATED FOR 10,400 LBS you have to have a class A CDL. Doesn't matter is you are towing it with a 1500 or F150 or if it empty. It goes by what it could potentially haul, . I took my pre trip and diving test with am 05 F-550 flat bed with an 18ft bumper pull and got my class A. I had to go back and get my air brake endorsements but i did have a class A non airbrakes license...
He seems like he truly cares so he has to do was right by the people and the law 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I empathize with ALL truckers and they are under great stress but as a auto driver, I want me safe and them as well. I recall that years ago these checks were sometimes done at weight stations. Drive safe truckers, my prayers are with you. 🙏
This is what I like to see from dot officers I actually think that this should be a requirement it's called being transparent and working together
Amazing I'm not seeing any beat up trucks & trailers in the last 2 days, I wonder why.
Thank you for the video bro
I had a State Trooper in Texas do a level 2. He found a loose Pittman arm off of the steering box. I tightened it on the spot. They're a pain in the azz, but they do a lot of good.
It’s be nice if all DOT officers were like this guy…
Very informative video. Thanks.
Coming from a truckng family.
I understand your job. And I really appreciate you doing your job.
80,000lbs driving down the road at 60 mph is literally a weapon if it falls into the wrong hands.
I have had friends killed due to other truckers ignorance and bumbling around. Both truckers themselves and non trucking friends.
Keep doing your job no matter how much flak you get.
At least a few of us understand that it is important to make sure these things are taken care of and kot neglected and causing issues that could kill someone or a whole family.
it doesn’t matter if is for money or not, still his good quality at his duty is keeping everyone safe.
He missed the windshield washer function!
Yap he was doing a great job not putting anyone OFS for BS
Those were all good points he did well unfortunately we don't have very many that talk and work that way if we had more officers like that alot more drivers would have a little more knowledge and what to keep out for to be safe or not have problems
He a good dot officer. Wish they are all like him
I’m a rock hauler so it’s always blitz week for us. If you know, you know. 😂👍🏻
Good job man, keep it up. 👍
