This is one of the main reasons why I just quit driving. I don’t like being examined constantly for no reason. They should only be allowed to pull you over if they observe something out of place.
Seriously it’s annoying and a major government overreach. Has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with money.
They feel the need to fish. Jerks
inspection sticker is just cause to get pulled over
I can see that when the trooper finished, this driver was free to go. I didnt hear any mention of a written warning nor did the trooper ask him to sign one. This roadside inspection was on a sunday. All he had to do is go to an inspection station the very next day- - so, no problem
Still, you guys are right. Nazis & KGB agents are the ones who practiced this kind of predatory fault-finding
That guy doesn't sound like any Arkansas trooper to me. Must be a northeast import.
YOUR WIFE DOESN'T HAVE TO FURNISH ANY INFO TO THAT OFFICER. HE KNOWS IT. A passenger does not have to participate in a lawful stop.
Interesting! Thank you!
Yes she does, when you are in a commercial vehicle, driver or not, you are subject to the same rules and regulations as the driver.
She does have to provide ID an proof she is covered by insurance and that the company knows she is there in a company truck
@@Bandit9457 🤣😂🤣 there's a difference between knowing and just assuming. LEO loves uninformed citizens.
Normally no. But operation of a commercial vehicle is different. They have the right to ID everyone in the commercial vehicle. Commercial vehicle is different. We all know the rules. We have commercial drivers license and. Such we signed off on full compliance with any state DOT officer. Stipulations to having a commercial DL.
Truck drivers keep the whole country rolling. Much needed and much respect.
Thank you! Yes!
Yeap, these new gen doesn't respect anything, they need a good lesson, a good dust bowl lesson like in 1930, you'll see them eating from the trash waiting for that inheritance , rather than work, people say that the way we were brought up was abusive, oh well, because we were taught how to work , and we were taught that nobody owe us anything, and that nothing is for free.... sad, thankfully I won't be here to see it.
This is why retired truck drivers like myself tell young people that say they want to be a truck driver are told to find something else to do .
No just drive local issue solved …. OTR guys gets harassed 24/7 when I was driving local never had a issue
Gerard. I've known a few truckies and none of them were happy with the job because of all the sh*t like this and with other car drivers.
37 years and sick of all the regulations and rules
@bobsap1723 well you never must've hauled and rock or sand. I'm 2 years I was inspected 14 times
Everybody wants to get in on the act. DOT from city , county, justice of the precinct, state , federal, its more of a money thing. If they can catch you overweight or with equipment violations.
All of this within 50 miles of my home terminal. San Antonio. Bexar county Texas
It’s just as bad still have to pull in to the scales for full cavity searches and there’s now a commercial vehicle patrol here now that’s hawks and harasses the area
As a retired driver of 40 years on the road, it is crazy the driver is responsible for so much and the owners are raking in the cash. Good luck drivers!
The big companies pay people full-time in their safety departments to make sure all the required paperwork is installed in each truck. But when they don't do their jobs, it's the driver that gets the tube steak.
That's how capitalism works. The owner does nothing but work against labor and gets everything.
@@ProleDaddy There's a difference between capitalism and robbery.
@@OldBastardOnaHarley That's true. Capitalism uses the capitalist state to legitimize its theft, as where small-time thieves do not have that luxury.
The driver is always 100% responsible for the vehicle he is driving, legal requirements, paperwork, nuts and bolts; this is all his responsibility as a highly trained professional.
When my father was working as a trucker an officer told him that there is no such thing as a perfect truck. He can ALWAYS find something to write a ticket for...
Most people do not even know how much a trucker needs to know and do just to keep the truck legal and on the road.
Yup!!! 🥰
Exactly. Glad to say after 30 yrs on the road, I gave my cdl up!!!
Predatory policing. Completely unnecessary.
So very true
Once I was approached by another trucker asking if I knew how to adjust the brakes , of course I know how to adjust the brakes , knowing is part of getting the license , I was fine helping him until I looked at the brakes and there was way less than 1/16th of an inch left on them , and this took place some miles before going down into Ashland OR , 7 miles of 7% downhill , I told him absolutely NOT and have his brake pads replaced immediately , he said no they are fine , just help me adjust them , I didn't and he took off , I wanted to report him but I didn't know how
You don't need to have an inspection sticker on side of vehicle. You do however need the inspection form available when a officer asks for it.
He has no legal right to ask the passenger for her ID. She has every right not to give him her ID. We do still have a fourth amendment
I was trucking for 9 years. These types of stops were one if not one of the main reasons I got out. I was tired of the pigs nitpicking. I never had a clean inspection. They always found something. No matter what I did and how good I had the truck. They always found something. We are just trying to make a living and get home alive and we have to deal with stupid hall moniters.
Besides your derogatory remark about law enforcement, I agree that we as a nation over regulate, over inspect, and over charge truck drivers, as well as so many others, in our zeal to be safe and whatnot. Our country is literally cursed by God, Himself, and we are falling.
I was a driver for years and am even a million mile driver club member. When E- logs came I left. I would bet like real money if you did a real study on it that the hours of operations the rules have caused as many or more accidents than they prevent. For example....You drive a few hours to pick up your load but it takes 4 to 5 or 6 hours to load. Then you can't log it as sleep because one split sleeperbirth never works out but two, besides maybe they they told you to listen to the radio for your turn to back into the 400 dock doors at a Walmart or Costco distribution center. So now it goes against your total hours for the day. Now you finally get called to the doc but 4 hours later so you take a small nap and two hours later you are on the road again. Then you hit a huge traffic jam that takes several 3 to 4 hours or more to clear. Now just a few more miles down the road after you finally clear that you are out of hours and have to pull over. So you have to log off duty. But you set in the sleeper staring at the ceiling and can't sleep for 7 1/2 hours as you took a few hours nap waiting to get loaded. You finally go to sleep and 3 hours later the alarm goes off because your 10 is up. Now you have interrupted the Rem sleep, This is the most crucial part of sleep that really resets the brain. But you can't stay and sleep because your idiot dispatch has you delivering in 11 hours from now and it is a 10 hour drive. So you are now driving without a proper night's rest in order to make delivery.
Driving a truck our sleep times are all over and dictated by the log book and not your body and it is really impossible to develop a pattern as it always changes. When what you could of did instead is after getting out of the hell traffic jam and then when your hours was up but not tired yet you could of drove another 6 or 7 hours until you was tired and took a 8 to 10 hour break and got some real and meaningful sleep and woke up and drove a few hours to make a delivery.
See the problem is like everything the Government does the folks writing the laws have no experience in the field they are regulating. Just because a few idiot drivers want to run 20 hours a day on 3 hours of sleep they assume we all need baby setting and told what hours to work... I use to run two log books and could move my hours around so I could make money and still be safe. I never fell asleep at the wheel. When I seen E logs coming I decided to hang it up..
Sorry to rant you seem like you get it and you hit a nerve so I thought I would let the want to be truck drivers know too.
@Jeremy Miller i 💯get you bro. I felt that i worked way harder and sleep deprived when i was on elogs. Anything government touches turns to shit
God could have set that truck up with gold guarded by angels, and they would still find something.
@@daveshangar6820😂😂😂😂 facts
I was so happy selling all my trucks and trailers and turning in my CDL. I had no issues with the DOT and very few issues with my drivers, but the stress of becoming one aged me an extra decade for sure. I got out just in time. The regs are ridiculous now. We had it easy. You guys are the heroes for still getting what American needs under crazy restrictions. Hats off to the American Trucker.
Yeah I got rid of my authority recently. The d.o t. Was such a problem over evert little thing. Nonsense stuff is all I would get dinged for.
What sent me over the edge is i got a ticket for improper dot tape o. The trailer. It was factory I stalled tape on the top of the doors and was red and white. But it's supposed to be white only.......
I mean come on.
@@secretsquirrel6718 I had a few swipes with them but they never could get me for anything, but they sure tried, and were very odd men. They had their version of the truth and when the evidence proved my version, it made them upset. A bit scary. But glad I’m out. I used to go to Toronto from California a lot as those loads paid very well for the extra 180 miles. And then come back empty fir an easy border crossing, but still the stress, it was unreal.
❤️❤️❤️
The responsibility of paperwork and the regulations of fuel purchases made me walk away from 18 wheelers after I passed the driver's exam! I did drive motor coach and school buses, but that was enough for me. I was 55 and my factory closed, so trucking looked glamorous!
@@born2soonhope you’re still trucking around somehow
Without you guys, no one will have food on their kitchen tables, economy will get affected. Wish everyone can appreciate what you do. Everyone takes everything for granted. GOd bless.
Thank you so much!!! 🙏Blessings to you as well!
I'm 73 and have never been a pro trucker. However, your video is a big education and eye opener for me an average consumer of the goods you haul. God bless you for the wonderful work you do.
Thank you for posting your blessings on the truckers thay could really use a little 🙏 every now and then
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!!! Happy to do it!
74 And I Agree..Amen🕊💯
Even if the inspectors failed to update to a current inspection sticker. I always hold onto my receipts. Should have put the inspection receipt from July in that big folder.
I just want to thank all you truckers ,what a stressful job you got. Thanks for delivering .
Thanks 👍
If you are in a commercial vehicle, a police officer can ask for an ID even from a passenger. Most trucking companies with also require a Letter of authorization for a passenger, in compliance with insurance contracts. However, even if none of this applies, why wouldn’t you comply with a request from a police officer. Be polite and help to make his job a little easier. Consider this, the policer does not know who your passenger really is. He/she may be an undesirable.
@@bradleyhammond6426
I'll tell you why you don't comply with a request that isn't backed by law. It has the low IQ cops believe that it isn't a request but in their mind becomes a lawful demand when every weak person just produces when the cop say the have to. Your constitutional rights are far more important that a cop's ego, you should thank the good Lord that you have them because many countries don't and look at what is going on across the world.
Thank you
@Bradley Hammond The letter of authorization is actually true for all major carriers, as far as I am aware, but if this guy is an owner op, then it would seem like he may be exempt from that procedure. He is after all the owner of his own company.
Kevin took the correct approach. No super trucker attitude. Polite and answered questions. His approach defuses the situation.
Thanks Jim! Agree!!!
The trucker did perfect. The cop is the one that acted like a thug. Once he knew your wife was just a passenger his creepiness came out asking for her drivers license. He is one bad state trooper, you are at his whims if you don’t give him the respect he thinks he needs.
Not me. They get the documents, and nothing else. No help, no questions answered. My passengers definitely aren’t showing ID, or answering any questions. I’ve had 2 bogus OOS that removed 2 pigs from duty, and a dog they said smelled drugs. The dog wasn’t even trained to search for narcotics.
@@tarheelnews261 The days in court, the steep fines they could write and the downtime would be cost prohibitive. There might be a time and place for 1st & 4th amendment auditing, but when driving a truck this isn't one of them.
@@mikespradling1828 it’s not about auditing. It’s about right from wrong. There is never a time and place to bend over or bow down. It’s that mentality that has lead to what we have to day. My carrier has been in service for 10 years, without any issues. Never had to be in court, or had any steep fines. All it took was public records request to put a “drug dog” out of service, because it was trained to find bombs, not drugs. Could have filed suit but removing the mut was enough for me. Both of the bogus OOS were cleared by mechanic, and all it took was submitting documents to have the pigs that issued them reprimanded.
You guys are so nice and respectful to the inspector doing his job. Truly professional drivers.
Thank you!!!
But the trooper wasn’t nice back. He was a doochbag. He didn’t have to give a violation and he didn’t have to ask for her ID when she doesn’t have to give it. But he made it seem like she did.
You are a very cool dude. Thanks for all that you do for us!
😃👍🥰
You are one cool dude! Great wife too. Stay smart. Stay safe. God bless you both for helping to keep America going!
Thank you so much Willa!! Thanks for watching!
Well it's harder for my race to stay safe
@@isiahgatson7409 You don’t state your race. But reading your comment we all know you’re not Caucasian. That alone tells us there’s a problem. Because, sadly, you are correct. In the US there are definitely skewed statistics related to race and economic status too. For many things. Not just traffic stops. Gratefully many people are working at changing that reality. 🙏
I would like to not only thank this gentleman and his wife for there services but all truckers out there!!! 😀My daddy was a trucker for 43 years, he loved what he did... He hauled all kinds of goods, everyone was grateful. He just passed away on April 9th 😢 I was so proud of him. And as for the police officer stop targeting truckers, there just trying to do their job...
Thank you so much, Sherry! Our sincere condolences for the passing of your dad. It’s hard. Kevin and I have both lost our fathers. But sounds like your dad was a great guy who did what he loved, contributed to society and was well loved!! Thank you so much for your comment! We send you extra love and support!
@@TheJoyofTrucking Thank you for your kind words. 😀 My condolences for the loss of your father's.... Take care and stay safe out there.

Red dye fuel is for offroad use and is NOT taxed, hence its cheaper, ON road fuel is natural diesel color OR dyed GREEN
Much respect for you truckers, without you we wouldn’t get anything!
🥰🤗👍
you are a gentleman and the trucking industry need more like you, some guys would have got real upset and paid a fine
Thanks!!!
If the passenger isn't a co-driver, there is no reason to demand ID.
Also no reason to oblige them with your ID.

Thanks for your service, sir. You all keep America working day in and day out. I don’t think you all get a fair shake in the media when it comes to accidents etc. you guys put up with and see a lot. Thanks again for keeping America moving! 🇺🇸
Much respect to the driver.
Thank you!!!
I like most people, am so grateful to America’s truckers. You are some of the finest people in our country. You are the main reason our country thrives. I’m sorry you are forced to lose points due to someone else’s negligence. I pray safety for you out on those roads. Blessings to you and your family!!!
Awwww…thank you so much Maureen! We appreciate your kind comments!!! And, FYI, Kevin ended up not losing points at the company because they realized it wasn’t his fault and they submitted the paperwork and there was no bad consequences from the law either. Phew!!!!! Thanks again!
@@TheJoyofTrucking So nice to hear of your happy ending!
The problem is is that it is the drivers responsibility to ensure that the equipment is legal to be on the road. He did his pre trip that morning and was feeling good, but he didn’t check his FAI stickers? They said happy thanksgiving, so he drove four months with an expired sticker. That’s not the companies fault.
Part of your pre trip inspection is making sure you have all the proper stickers it’s easy to miss but is your responsibility
Hope it works out to where you don't get any negative points..... I find it amazing that Truckers have to jump through so many Hoops but I guess that's just the way it is nowadays... so at this juncture would just like to say thanks for all you do and I think it's great that your wife keeps you company ,,,,, motor easy and safely
People REALLY need to read the fine print on rider release forms. It varies by company but most company release forms state "Passenger must surrender this form and identification to a law enforcement officer if requested by said officer"
The officer is well within his rights to ask for her ID as well as the authorization form.
I had to show an Iowa cop my ID as well as the form back when i was 14 and riding with my dad, back in the day.
I was a big kid and he asked to see my log book. I kept one as a training log.
He looked through it, got a good laugh and sent us on our way.
Glad to see you didn’t get a violation. I drive a commercial vehicle and way back in my training I was told it’s part of my pre trip to visually inspect all the inspection stickers on my vehicle. I look at them every day to insure they are valid and still on the vehicle. It’s part of the equipment and is just as important as having all the lug nuts in place. 😊
Yes. Sadly no one taught Kevin that. Now we know. Tough way to learn about it. 🤷♀️
This video made me subscribe. I'm a trucker also and I absolutely liked how calm you and him both was. Thank yall for making truckers look good.
Thanks for subscribing! And thank you for the compliment! We appreciate it!! Especially from another trucker!
I’m retired over four decades of flat bedding and a few years of recovery and towing it’s the only attitude you can have. And the fuel is non tax off-road marine heavy equipment construction-is “red “fuel. If you get caught with red fuel in a road truck you’re in trouble big trouble
It's a shame this country has gone to hell
I'm a trucker as well, and I would have not been so nice.
@@BaxterBlue You would not have been as nice? Why? What would you hope to accomplish by being a Karen?
I'm from the UK and was impressed how you were both polite to each other. Good result.
1:11 very polite opening the door, and forcing his way into the cabin
No passenger do NOT give Gestapo thugs your ID, it's a violation of your rights. A passenger does NOT have to give ID unless probable cause that they have committed a crime, about to commit, everyone by now should know that with all these videos
❤️❤️❤️
@@m42037 Why are people so against this? If you aren't doing anything wrong, then there shouldn't be a problem
@@SJHFoto It's principal, some cops that's SOME think they can do whatever they want and violate our rights and we have to lic their boots, nein! Good cops don't ask a passenger for ID during a traffic stop for civil infractions !
It’s amazing how many times I caught myself with a minor mistake in my paperwork by having the habit of constantly checking it. Stuff like this happens…safe driving out there driver
Thank you for sharing your videos on the life and laws of our Truck drivers! And thank you for your dedication to your jobs because of our transportation people ,you make life for everybody in this world nicer to have the foods, and every day's life's necessities!!!!! Thank you and God bless you!
Wow. The amount of paperwork you have to keep on you at all times is crazy. Keep up the good work you are doing. With out you people we would not exist and survive.
When can be even more than that. He didn't even ask the driver for his medical card or medical certificate. I didn't see a mask or check for the insurance on the truck, and separately the insurance and registration for the trailer, which is usually kept on the trailer. If it's a Hazmat truck or trailer, then there would be additional inspection stickers and inspection form for each vessel. For instance my daily driver is a straight axle tanker with a tanker pup, so I would need the inspection paperwork and stickers for both the truck and the pup.
Drivers love punishment.
Yes the paperwork is ridiculous. We have the usual registrations and insurance. Then add the permits for each state. Then the required paper for those that run Canada. I literally have a 3ring binder for just that stuff. Then I have a folder with inspection reports. Another for repairs and service work. Another yet for bol and delivery receipts. Fuel and road expenses receipts. Yes the paperwork alone is crazy.
@@rockymntnliberty dot physical information is tagged to our license. We no longer get a card. Just the long form. Which is emailed to dmv.
@@donmunro144
Recent change? I know DOT tracks the physicals, but it has of the year-and-a-half ago I did receive my card, and within that time period I have had Highway Patrol check it.
Brilliant audit. I didn't realise how much red tape and paperwork a trucker has to go though. Your wife is great and very supportive. Very interesting to watch. Stay safe. Ray UK.
👍😃😃😃😃
She didn't have to give that cop her ID NO PASSENGER has to unless suspected of or have committed a crime!
This is just the showing of how it goes when you're on top of your game by knowing how the game is played. Imagine if you're not. Holy!
He violated your wifes' civil rights, he broke his oath when he did that.
Amazing attitude. Awesome people you are. Thank Jesus for people like you.
Sorry this happened to you. You're good guys and unfortunately while real criminals get away with murder they harass you. A sad state of affairs indeed.
This is far from harrassment. The specific job of a CMV law enforcement officer is to ensure Commercial vehicles and drivers are safe and legal to be on the road. If they do not do thier job, there is a potential for many lives to be lost when a truck crashes. When a truck crashes and kills someone, the driver may face criminal charges. So even though the driver may be a good person, if they do something or even don't do something and that action or lack of action can cost lives.
Everything that you said and they want the revenue generated by violations from out of state carriers.
Thanks! We appreciate that. But we also recognize that they only catch the ‘bad guys’ by pulling over any truck randomly. So…we stay friendly and hope they don’t find anything. Which…sadly…he did. Something they didn’t catch in his previous inspection and we didn’t even know about. 🤦♀️

Why he insisted on the passenger's license and even I.D. I think is an unreasonable and spiteful. Trooper seems too serious for a traffic stop.
Good learning lesson. Driver is responsible for having correct stickers, permits and operating safe equipment. Requiring passenger license was not needed. But there is a permit required for having a passenger in a commercial vehicle. Very unsafe being pulled alongside major busy highway for inspection. Being respectful goes a long ways during inspection stop. Thank you for the video. Safe travels. Blessings to you.
Exactly her license was not necessary.
He came up with an attitude but quickly changed once he saw you continued to remain polite.
So many papers and documents.. it's like you are carrying 100 truck worth of documents 😂
😆😆😆
They put red dye in "Off Hiway" diesel fuel. Fuel that is used in heavy equipment.
You are a very professional driver and I have the highest respect for you.
Safe travels and thank you for the great videos.
Thank you so much!!!
I give you guys a lot of credit I used to drive a CDL in Chicago and it was the most stressful job I’ve ever had and I was so happy when I quit it without you guys nothing goes around so thank you
I've been driving over 20 years and Chicago traffic is still stressful to me 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Thank you!!
@@SeeSaw99 traffic is one thing but the bridges and viaducts are another!
@majoneski I almost never get off the interstate when I'm driving through Chicago. Once I had to get off the interstate for a pickup a few miles from downtown and then over by O'hare. Between the potholes, traffic, and construction, I almost need counseling and nerve pills 😆 🤣 😂 😹
@@SeeSaw99 YES!!!! I agree!!! Even I-80 past there pushes me (Tanja) to the brink!!!! My poor spine is VERY unhappy about the potholes and terrible bridge joints!!!
Cooperate, stay relaxed. The beuracracy of driving long haul is amazing.
That’s why I’ve never done it.. nope.. Local only for me
Beautiful. This is how all encounters between police and the drivers should be. Two lovely older men. But this is too good to be widespread. Thank you. Subscrided. Bloke from Aus.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this Kev . I will be more vigilant about my stickers in the future. The points should be deducted from whomever didn’t complete the inspection.
👍👍👍
We are so glad we saw your video! My husband, who also works for Crete, checked his inspection sticker after watching. And guess what? His is ALSO expired. Since November 2022. He will be going to his terminal first thing Tuesday when he goes back out. Thanks for the video!! Otherwise, he may have been the next Crete casualty. 🙄
So glad to hear that!!! That is our hope…that others will benefit from our experiences!! Happy we could be of service! See you and/or your hubby down the road!!
Red dye fuel isn’t taxed the same as it is intended for off road use only. Good job. Love the info
Thanks!!! 😃
I'm a semi trailer mechanic and eddy is correct
I don't know how it is in the U.S. but in Europe red dye indicates heating oil.
So can you use red fuel in a reefer trailer or an APU, since those engines are not driving the wheels?
Red dye is home heating fuel in the US too. Most prominent in the northeast.
They can ALWAYS say, "Your slack adjusters are out of adjustment." Even if you drive immediately back to the terminal and have a mechanic check.... it's IMPOSSIBLE to win in court. Companies know this and simply pay the State, and call it "The price of doing business.' This happened to me, and even though I am retired now, it still pisses me off that State Patrol and DOT officers get away with this s**t. EDIT ADDITIONAL: Fuel with red dye in it is for off road use only (think bulldozers, excavators, skid steer's etc etc) BTW driver.... since this video was 15 minutes long, don't forget to update your logbook.
Thanks for all those insights!!!
hope always you guys are safe and well
Thank you!!!! You too!!!
Your welcome and thank you I'm a local truck driver I hope 2024 will bring lots of joy and happiness to you and your family 🙂@@TheJoyofTrucking
You guys we're so pro. So was the Trooper. Thanks for keeping our highways safe.
Thanks!!!
The cop wasn't professional at all. He was fishing. had no reason or right to take the passengers ID.
@@OrbiTiZZeD Thats his job, to fish and look for violations that could KILL you or your family.
Thanks for being very professional. There's always something to learn every day in trucking.
Yup…two years driving and no clue about this sticker. No one ever taught Kevin. So we are happy to share his experience to help others.
I’m a young kid 14, I just am fascinated by learning about police, so I know what I can and can’t do, might as well learn young, young minds are strong! Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for watching and commenting!!! You’re obviously a smart 14 year old, aware that learning is the key to success!! We wish you all the best!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking thank you! cannot wait to see more! :)
in my 2 visits driving across the usa interstae 40 etc etc i found all you folk so darn polite and good drivers men and lady truckers we here in oz could learn a bit from you folk and all our police are good in the country towns as yours were also
That’s why I got out of trucking in 2000 after only 9 years on the road. Never got out of an inspection without something. 1/8 in gap in my airline spring in the banning truck stop cost me 150 bucks….They will always find something. Thank you for what you do though and sticking with it.
Banning is notorious - I usually find a crappy looking truck to sit behind a few miles before that scalehouse and follow him through!
😳😳🤗👍
If the inspector doesn’t find something, he is considered inefficient or lax and not doing his job. Just like the traffic cop that issues to many warnings, the judge that sets to many low bonds and the public defender who never sees his client until he gets to court.
In my younger days, I did inspections on Trucks & Trailers with my company. Each rig was inspected after each load if they were routed to our terminal. The owner operators hated me as I was very thorough with my inspections and it was time consuming especially if there were 8-10 rigs waiting in line at the safety lane. I have been threatened with being beaten & shot by a few drivers but I would smile and say safety first. I feel that I saved some lives with unsafe things that I found such as the steel belts showing through the inside walls of both steering tires on one truck. I showed this to the owner operator and he thanked me for saving his life. Once I found a broken 3 leaf spring that had work itself free of the u-bolts which could or would have fallen in the highway at anytime. I found several loose tandem wheels on trailers where the axle nuts had backed off which could have been catastrophic if the wheel had came off the axles in traffic?
Problem is Mexico truckers are still allowed to drive 10 -20 miles into California depending the port of entry to a drop off point. Many of their trucks look like they're not safe to be on highways. Not sure about rest of border states. Some Mexico truckers are allowed further north if they pass inspections.
@@freonpeon472 yeah, I helped out a driver who could not read his map. I was parked on a dead end in Seattle. It picked up passed the business that I was at...he was a nice kid, but did not speak English. Lotsa Russians team drivers in brand new trucks...thank you uncle sam...I ll make my own way pay taxes and you give it away
WOW 😳
@@freonpeon472 how can you tell they're not safe to be on the freeway?
What you picked up they should have caught on their pretrips. You ( or your company ) were basically saying that you did not trust their pretrips. And, as long as they were getting paid for the time, they should have welcomed the extra set of eyes on their rig.
Thanks for keeping the country moving
That was a great stop. Officer using his head and showing he is willing to work with you and your company.
Been there…done that…thank you for sharing. I’ve been a trucker for 40 years. God bless you
Yall seem to be a very nice couple but as an owner and operator the validity of the stickers on both the truck and trailer is on the driver. I will say you got off real well (not getting a citation) in Arkansas because their dot bears normally don't give breaks. Good luck to you both and safe travels!
The sticker for annual inspections is no longer required by FMCSA/DOT. And before anyone responds, look it up. The only requirement is that you have the inspection form in the cab card and the trailer should have a place for its paperwork. Stickers are not required. I'm not saying that a stop would go easier if it was there, but if a citation is written, it is reversible. That being said, if an out of date sticker is there, it would be wise to remove it altogether.
@@keithmeddock1243 Right but the officer made it clear that either or was fine. This particular company don't keep the report in the units but if the sticker was stamped "July 22" then it was not out of date bc there is no expiration date on the stickers. They are stamped monthly and yearly. The only real way to get the exact day it expire is to have a report of the inspection inside the cab. Normally an officer will not ask for it if the month and year on the sticker is good. I keep my stickers inside my side door box where my fire extinguisher and triangles are located bc some drivers being dirty will peel off a sticker of a parked truck.
I've had my CDL since early 90s and one thing I've learned, Always Double Check Everything. Stay Safe.
I am a new subscriber from Sydney Australia and have always been interested in trucks and road transport and as fate would have it ended up on the Railroad as a locomotive driver Retired 2018 after 48 years.. I enjoyed your video and who ever neglected to put the Inspection on should be penalised NOT THE TRUCK DRIVER.
What a mountain of paperwork for both the officer and the driver!
Yup!!!
Yup and it pays to have it in order. I checked my permit book everyday at Crete. It pays to do so
I have been following you guys since you were at Werner. You have put out a lot of good information and I really appreciate everything that you guys do. I just wanted to say thank you for this video as I am also now with CRETE and my sticker has expired. hopefully I will be able to get it taken care of before I get pulled over and inspected. Thanks again, drive safe and keep putting out those great videos.
Hey there!!! Thanks for being a long time viewer and fellow Crete driver! Yes…we share what we learn to help others flatten that steep learning curve. Imagine…two years and no one ever taught Kevin about this sticker. How many other new drivers out there weren’t taught to look for it. Crazy! Anyway…thanks for watching and for your comment!! Hurry up and get that sticker! 😉 Hope to see you out there!!
God bless you guys, I learned something today about the annual inspection. The officer could have given you a complete pass and a verbal warning.
About 30 years ago…. I worked for a wireline company…. The trucks were over weight limits…. The owner actually joked with me the fines were cheaper to pay than to bring another truck!…. I’ll never forget his diabolical laughter….😂
😳😳😳😳😳
Here in Canada, the annual inspection sticker is something the mechanic is supposed to attach to the truck it’s all tied back to his licence and the red dyed diesel here in Canada doesn’t have road tax on it, therefore it is significantly cheaper than regular diesel, it’s supposed to be used for off-road use only, such as heating a home, any sort of machinery etc.
Thanks! And ‘hello’ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Here in the USA red dye diesel is for off-road use only in farm machinery, construction, and mining. It’s also cheaper than regular diesel that’s clear. Usually kerosene is used for heating but I’m sure there are diesel heaters as well, just never heard of them until now.
Blue dyed diesel is for government use only.
Other countries use yellow and purple also but the use varies by country.
WOW after seeing what you truckers have to go thru I am glad I don't drive anything bigger that my pickup. Thank you for going what you are doing.
😆😆😆Thanks!
I just retired with Crete. Well you know , you,re supposed to acknowledge that up to date sticker not once, but twice a day.Happy trails.😊
Welcome to the world of trucking even though you don't own it you're responsible for it
Yup…
I used to be an owner operator back in the 80s 90s and sold everything just because of this, I got a ticket in Delaware for not showing my Delaware fuel permit it was on my dash because we were in a ice storm and it wouldn’t stick,just stupid things like that is what drove me out of the business, such a shame because I really liked it
I shut down my trucking company in the early 1990s. They would literally shut my trucks down in Ohio for a marker light out. If you had brake drum that were dipping in some, they would measure the shoe thickness from the edge of the drum. Couldn't move the truck, always had to get a local shop to come to the scale house and change drums and shoes. I got pissed off once because they shut the trailer down. It was loaded with bales of trash out of Chicago, I think. I told my driver to drop the trailer and come home. I left the trailer sitting there for 3 days. They'll called and said come get it, no hold. When my driver got there and hooked up he said there was a cloud of flies around the trailer. But I bet theses days they'd call in a hazmat team to remove it.
Yeah I quit because of rhe constant nonsense too.
It’s too bad I miss driving and kinda liked the wild cat game, when they opened up the boarders for trucks to come in and take our freight was bad too, Canada and Mexico used to be able to come in and pick up freight and take it back but couldn’t haul and deliver freight here but that all changed too they were under cutting our bids so bad it was hard to get a good paying load, the only thing kept me afloat was I hauled produce for a few farmers but the government stepped in on them too, what ashame, we had a lot of good drivers back then, go to a truck stop and see what’s driving now, I don’t know how owner operators are making it today
"SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!!"😊
OBJECTION! The trooper has the right to ASK the passenger for her identification but the passenger has the RIGHT to decline the request. NEVER permit law enforcement to assert authority they DO NOT HAVE. Law enforcement CONSISTENTLY violate the rights of citizens because the citizens do not KNOW their rights. If the passenger gave her identification to the trooper, she just gave her right to be secure in her papers/effects away. Learn the difference between being an ignorant law-abiding citizen and an educated law-abiding citizen.
I think if there was No Recording, he would probably let you go.
Bless both of you ❤️
This video reminds me of just how lucky I am to be retired from all that BS after 40 years of driving ( it was never that bad in the early years, I swear). They had just started E-logs when I quit, and boy am I glad I never had to put up with all the crap I just watched on this video. More power to ya, Kevin, sure glad somebody is still willing to 'run the ribbon' and get everything delivered to maintain our great country. Keep the greasy-side down and be safe .... catch ya on the flip !! (and the dye in the fuel used to designate "off-road" diesel = no taxes paid ... don't get caught using that !!)
I retired a month before my company went to paperless logs. Do not miss it after 42 years. My bed doesn't move and I no longer eat truck stop food YIPPEE!!!!
I’m also glad I don’t have to deal with BS Trucking they could pay me enough to drive again and deal with DOT, Logs and shippers and receivers.
True, allthough the E-log makes things a lot easier in my opinion.
Me too, I quit about the time the CDL came in. The rules in place now would cause me to be a dangerous driver because I can't rest when I want to..
It is not any worse, 26 yrs out here and I it's no different than the 90s except I have cameras and so do the cops, so less shady BS happens now. You guys are the same bunch that perpetuate the BS DOT horror stories, it's a joke. I run paper logs, my truck is a glider and my other two drivers run the same, we are not being harassed and targeted by the big mean DOT officers, 😂. Some people just can't let go of fairytales.
I thought both the police officer and the trucker were both very respectful to each other . I am glad these big rigs are inspected regularly. The officer was doing his job.
I hope the trucker was not deducted points for someone else’s negligence. You could tell by the way this trucker was very organized with all his papers he was professional in his responsibility . I wish him well .
Red Dye fuel is for off road use in our neck of the woods . Used for tractors and offroad equipment and taxed differently.
I had a state trooper pull me over for a "personal inspection". When I called the trucking company and explained it to them, they said they had never heard of a "personal inspection"! Well, I got one that day!
What was the details of the inspection?
Asking Tanya for her ID is probably illegal... But I get it. Be nice. Be polite. Be respectful and nobody gets hurt 🙂
I wished she didn't give it up. It's totally unlawful and an infringement on her 4th amendment. Passengers do not need to interact with LEO.
I’d tell him to get off of my truck, you did not give him permission to,open your door, quit letting these a holes do this!
@@trucker-d4161 exactly. But they push people that don't push back.
@@willmann30 If I were her, I would have said, "I don't have a driver's license." Period.
@@88KeysIdaho absolutely. Then I would've tested his integrity by asking if I had a license under what federal law do I have to provide it as a passenger? I bet he would've pulled something out of thin air.
Yeah. TN Po Po got me with silly questions couple weeks back. Kid all giggly. Stay safe.
If you are not the driver and you’re just a passenger, you don’t need to show ID at any time
Part of your daily pre-trip inspection includes the verification of trailer and tractor inspection dates. We as drivers assume things are done for us ie: application of the sticker etc, ultimately it is our responsibility. It is very important to check the trailer expiry dates as we seem to be always switching trailers as well.
Thank you! We didn’t know. Now we do! Appreciate the heads up in the trailer stickers!
Once you have all your information and paperwork in order, keep the cab card and insurance information in a easy spot to access, the rest is done annually, and it normally renews once a year, you don’t have to check your paperwork every time, but you should know the expiration date and keep bugging your company for the updated information needed.
Quit being so quick too take on more responsibility it’s enough to stay safe on the road , the more you volunteer, the more every new thing will be the trk driver job ?!!
USPS driver here....what's this pre-trip inspection you speak of ?😳
Thanks for sharing your experience. Kevin appeared very professional throughout the event. Highway transporters could get a cue from this video.
Thank you!!!
I believe the red dye fuel is off-road fuel so it’s not taxed for highway use
I just started driving and in school I did VERY well on my backing and hit my parallels in one shot. But they never taught us how toet ourselves up for the maneuver they just had is pull straight up so what's the best advice you could give me on how to set myself up thank you and love yalls videos
I appreciate how cordial you were!
👍🥰
Bless you both and all the truckers out there, without people who drive the big rigs we would have very little, side note, your wonderful wife didn't need to show i.d. and that officer knew it be safe on you journey through your miles and miles.❤
🤩👍🥰😃
For every inspection passed with no flaws, the driver should get a 15% raise.
Edit: ok, more realistically, maybe a 15% of annual salary in a one-pay sum bonus.
Red Dye Fuel is off road diesel. It is used in reefers and farm equipment.
The trooper was reasonable. Your positive and polite attitude probably influenced his decision, and the reason he didn’t give you a license points violation.
I speak as a retired LEO, former OTR trucker for another mega-carrier.
If the person(s) I stopped was polite, most of the time I did a verbal warning, or a lessor written violation.
And because he is a public servant, you do not have to ask his permission to be be video taped. It’s is polite to ask, but not mandatory.
Thanks for your comment! And thanks for the job you did as LEO and OTR driver!!
Driver should of known the annual inspection was expired and he should have a copy of the long form for the inspection in the permit book. Part of the pre trip inspection process. If the long form was in the book the Trooper would have taken that. I would never cite a driver for the expired Annual Inspection. Just a violation of the Driver/Vehicle Inspection Report. No big deal. Large companies like Crete sometimes it slips the mechanics mind to put the sticker on but their computer systems force the inspections if you come in for maintenance. Im sure it was done.
@@smoki2515 Thanks for your comment. Yes. It was done in July. But they forgot to update the sticker. No one ever taught Kevin to check that sticker. So he just didn’t know. Turns out that Crete doesn’t give paper copies to drivers anymore. ☹️

This would make a great educational video, both for the driver and the officer, how this should be done.
Dude you just got violated BIG TIME.
Ex trucker from the UK here ..well handled sir .
In my only 13 years behind the wheel I never once got pulled over (just luck I guess ) ..
I gave up trucking in 1997 I'd had enough,the roads over here are a nightmare and it's just hard work,it's even worse now
Ya Europe has a lot LOT of Roundabout's, I been to Germany many times that driving is a nightmare of stress, it's much easier here in the states
You are so not wrong about that. Why anyone would run a business in this sector is beyond me. Especially since the illegal driving in the EU is worse now than ever before despite all the "efforts" of beuarocracy put in place to stifle said illegality. A colossal failure as always when politics run the show.
@@rosen9425 It's just much more stressful in Europe to drive than here, go over there and see! Smaller roads, A LOT more vehicle's on the road, countless Roundabout's, and almost never a place to park! And the UK isn't in the EU btw..

25 years lol I doubt it. My whole family drives and you sure as hell don't drive over the road. Poser
According to the net. Red dye fuel is used for farming and construction. And it can be used for commercial use because of its high sulfur content.
RED dye is usually for farmers machines and is cheaper,this is what we have in the UK,the dye leaves a stain in the tank too,so road transport checks your fule by taking a sample then analyse it.
If a driver ever gets caught running dyed diesel (agricultural) it could be a trip to jail and obviously a fine. Different taxing levels of course
Ya it’s a big deal in the U.K. people using Red diesel in trucks and vans . Red diesel is used for construction vehicles and tractors .
I've been checked once in 32 years.... It doesn't make sense that a major common carrier would even try it
@@mikelavelle5019 It is more common with smaller carriers and owner operators.
There was a truck stop that had off road diesel accidentally put into the main diesel tank. It caused some major issues for many drivers.
No jail. Big fine no jail.
