Should keep making more of these videos. Drivers who know what to watch out for and small companies that due proper maintance dont have any issues being put oos at the weigh scales. No violations= cheaper insurance premium too. Stay safe work more save money win win win.
I am surprised this combination passed a DOT inspection. I used to work for CRST as mechanic for a very short time and they tried to push in my head that a DOT tractor inspection should take no more than 10-15 minutes, sign the form and let the truck go. No I learned over the years a lot of mechanics will now say oh it should only take 10 minutes or I can do it in 5 minutes and all my DOT's are correct, I doubt it out it.
I had no idea there were videos like these… not that I don’t want to drive a safe truck down the road but the ignorance of what to even look for or even know anything is even wrong is probably over 90% of violations handed out
Remenber what this officer said about tandem slider pins? quote " if there is two pins on this side then it should be two on the other." So genius. I could say even more about this ,for example if there is two double wheels on this side then it should be the same on the other side as well right?

Good job guys
2:55 - not true. I've had 3 of the 4 engaged before. That's why I ALWAYS check BOTH sides.
Just the flash rust on the rim I have been wrote for dot says no rust on rims.

Haven’t seen any dot in eastern Kentucky for years
East KY is the wild west, I love it. Running up and down 23 not giving af.
Can u go through weight station if your front bumper is bent
Truck driver got unlucky beside annual you just roll onto the weight station and keep going this prob took at least an hour of wasted time
This isn't a cops job I'm sorry this is annoying as hell. I understand the safety side but ita more harrassment imo
So you believe that trucks don't need to be inspected and should be allowed to roll down the road in whatever condition it is in?
