*slides the tint meter down, keeps eye contact* - 😂
I noticed that to.. lol
That cop was looking for an excuse, any excuse just to be a dick! Power tripping cops make it harder for the decent police to do their jobs and be respected. These guys handled it like champs! 😉
He says that it's same through the lower 48 but I live ½hour from TN, and my sister can have darker tint there that I would get ticketed for. So I suggest if your going to install any additional tint to check codes in all states and make sure you adhere to them all. Unless you don't mind the tickets, and possibly the bare adhesive as when ticketed here they tear it out at the trafficking stop, and it reduces visibility and is a absolute mess until you get it cleaned off properly.
If you get them done in day 2016 then the law changes to a lower tint. You are still legal. It was done to standard AT THAT TIME... you don't not have to change it to the new standard..
That was priceless! 😂
I've been trucking for 30 years. I think this Missouri DOT officer is pretty cool. He treated these guys with respect, which is rare...
He extorted/hustled these working men out of a couple hundred dollars lol wtf were you watching?
@@LF12468 lol hustled? Because they didn't double check their stuff and make sure they were within legal law? This isn't a regular vehicle. When I agreed to go to school and test to get my CDL, I agreed to abide by the laws and regulations that cover ALL commercial vehicles. It's on me to make sure I KNOW the laws that regulate whatever I drive and haul. Just because I failed to know about it doesn't mean the cop that pulls me over is in the wrong.
all those laws are trash though the feds and local dot need to go to hell. they inforce these crap laws steal our money and they dont even follow those laws or repair the roads.
@@HondaWyo I suppose we can go back to the days where hardly anything regulated truckers and they could do whatever they wanted. We can go back to the higher mortality rates from truckers over pushing themselves and end up killing other drivers. Speeding. Drinking while driving. Failing to make sure their trucks are safe to drive. I suppose that's better.
You can't bitch about the things you agreed to obey in order for you to even get your license. You seem to think that it's a right for you to hold it and to drive. It is not. It's a privilege. Sorry that I'm ok with obeying the said laws if it means more people go home to their families each day.
@@hashtagthislulz9318 doesn’t have anything to do with saving lives. That’s a bunch of bullshit! It’s all about collecting money!
As a 35 year retired trucker I can state that DOT stands for dollars or tickets, even both !
I don't know anything about trucking but i know i wouldn't wanna deal with people like this guy.
Dept of Terrorism
I drove truck for 32 years, the last 22 years hauling hazmat non flammable liquid cryogenic gas, having placards on all four sides of the trailer is a license for all law enforcement to pull me over any time anywhere no matter the time 'just because,' their main reason to hassle hazmat drivers is taking from the driver and or company or both as much $$$ as they can, 95% money 5% safety 'but' the numbers for the cops is about the same numbers, 90% honest hard working 'fair' cops, 10% have a badge and a piss poor attitude towards commercial vehicle drivers. 32 years without any accidents 'and' zero moving violations 'ever,' all the way back to when I first turned 16, I am super proud of my safety record.
@@smokeyone tty
Theyre just here to defend corporations from getting out performed my owner operators.
Why do you think they limit us to the same bullshit hours an employee can work. Then we have to sleep 10 hours😂 no one needs 10 hours and 11 hours of driving is laughable
“He’s a nice guy.” “I appreciate your service.” Damn, we are so programmed by the government. He extorts a couple hundred bucks out of your pocket and you thank him. If it was truly about safety, they would give you “fix-it tickets.” You have 15 days to fix the infraction, make the vehicle safe again, and then show them proof that it has been done. Then, once the vehicle is deemed safe for the roadway, the citations get voided end of story. But it’s not about safety. It’s about generating income... policing for profit!
TRUE
Well said.
@Jimmy, How much money and (stuff) have you extorted out of others?..
If he obeyed the law to begin with he would not even have gotten pulled over. Is it really that simple?
Yes.
We lost our country after we got off the gold and silver standard.
All the fraud started then or a little before when they were printing fake gold backed noted that we couldn't even pay out.
@@michealcarver2474 oh yeah like cops obey the law all the time *note sarcasm….. no they knowingly break the law and then cower behind qualified immunity when they get caught. If they would just follow the law to begin with, they wouldn’t need qualified immunity.
Very thorough professional officer. I was waiting for him to snatch your phone out of your hand from previous experience’s I’ve had. Had a disrespectful person with a badge out of Arizona one time invite himself in my truck and sat in the passenger seat and as he was interrogated me conducted a illegal search by going thru my overhead storage compartments. Won’t ever forget that one. Good work from all parties on this one!
That tint law has to change for us truckers. They should Try driving south or north on i95 and having that sun beating on their side for 4-6 hour straight all week and see how fast they would change that law lol.
Yes the sun gets very hot on your window arm believe me I know have 6million over the road experience
I have skin cancer from drivibg so much with my left arm setting on the door ledge!! I Literally got 3rd degree burns in my arm from driving so much without tint on my windows!!
The reason for the tint law on commercial vehicles is so that you can SEE. It is about SAFETY!!!! There are clear tints you can get for your windows that block the UV rays and stop that sun from beating on your arms.
I call that the left side tan bro lol. In all honesty it really does suck though
I won’t put tint myself because i rather not deal with them even thinking of messing with me. I just put a towel hanging from the window back enough where i can still see my side mirror. And as far as safety issues if you can’t see out your tint it’s either way to dark which is not smart or your to bind which if so you shouldn’t be driving a truck at that point. Just saying.
DOT stands for "Department of Taxation."

Yeah, the DOT was sorta ok. I am shocked he did not write the window tint ticket. They love writing those. I don't care what they say. DOT is not about safety. It's about the $$$$$$$$$$$$
He could have wrote 2 Tickets, it's how you interact with them, it can be about the money, but, if you have a clean record and a good attitude it will go a long way, something to think about.
joespappa FACTS
It's all about the money.
Always about money; they use the codes to justify the shakedown..
@@JDub-mi7fs It has everything to do with attitude, if you act stupid, you can expect to be treated as such. This officer could have wrote more tickets, but, the driver was respectful to the officer, believe me that will get you a long way. I have been in this business for 25yrs, i myself have ever received only 2 tickets in my life. I have been a safety director and DOT compliance for 8yrs, total 1 OOS and 4 tickets, that is considerably low, considering I have employed 100's of drivers. I dont hire drivers with bad attitudes because I treat my drivers like family and if they get to the point where they arent doing their jobs, its time for them to move on.
A lot of people don't understand how commercial driving works. It's a lot more strict and the officer cut them a break. For all of you guys commenting how effed up it is that the officer did his job is a joke. These guys said the officer was nice. There was mutual respect here.
David Parks totally agree. I have had runins with NC DOT and EVERYTHING was right. When they can’t find anything they create something for tax dollars. I have felt with absolutely awful officers that need to and have been fired. Also felt with a very few that said hey I saw something and I’m wrong.. that doesn’t happen often but every once in a while they do there job for safety because there are some drivers that don’t need to be out there.
Very true,commerical laws are a lot tougher folks so get used to it.
Yeah communism is great 😂 right … communism always comes with a smile and polite in reality they have their boots to our necks the ELD is technically against the constitution the government has no right to tell you how long you need to rest and how many hours you can operate the minute they insinuate you need these regulations for public safety is the minute they become no different then a communist regime communist actually think they are keeping everyone safe but they are hindering an individuals freedom of making his own decisions I know when I’m getting tired I don’t need the government telling me to stop driving or how long I need to rest I’m a free American and I make that call not big brother
The DOT guy is thorough, but heck, he is looking for anything to ping you on. That's a long stop.

Really ?obviously you've never approached a vehicle with the windows tinted really dark and you can't see inside to see if someone is pointing a gun at you or how many people are in the vehicle.

Nice guy. Needs to train other officers on how to handle a traffic stop. His demeanor is spot on. Nice but firm.
100% agreed. very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous.
It is apparent that neither one of you are truck drivers. Just cop sympathizers.
@@lmorris6170 You'll be a cop sympathizer of you ever need one. But for the record, I am not. Plenty of cops treat people like dirt and break the law. So it's nice to see one being professional and courteous.
The fastest way to get pulled over is TINT YOUR WINDOWS DARK .
Actually its whatever ...
Ain’t never seen nobody pull out a meter so fast lol
InTheFastLaneBro Right!! He was quick draw McGraw with that meter. Caught Rene off guard..
Hell,,it's like it just appeared in his hand
Did you see him pull it from his shoulder holster?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He never broke eye contact with the driver either. Meme quality 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come to New York
I would have to say he is probably one of the nicest dot officers that I have seen
I have to argue that....He was a decent guy, but I've found that if your truck isnt a pig pen, clearly well taken care of, and you dont look like a slob and your decent and up front with them, they will be to you just as well. I do a lot of over sized loads too. 160ft bridge beams and get escorts from state police and sheriff departments, theyre all mostly real decent guys too. If your truck is a pig pen, and you look like a slob it makes you an easy target. That is obviously a reflection of how you take care of yourself and your stuff, they know they arent going to have to nit pick anything. I take the show truck out every once in awhile and ive never ever been bothered for where I have certain things placed, or been threw an inspection. I've been weighed twice since I finished building it. Ive personally met 2 dot cops that were complete ass hats. One was this asshole that stopped me for doing 63 in a 55 section of highway while the 4 wheelers where blowing by me like I was backing up, chased me down, tells me why hes stopping me an asks for all paperwork tells me he'll be right back. Fucking 45 minutes later comes back and says "well Mr. Wilson you know the drill" and hands me this ticket, an that kinda rubbed me the wrong way, so I asked what the fuck that was supposed to mean, he says "well you know when I said I'd be right back, and I was gone for about 45 minutes to my car"? I said ya. and he says "well thats because I was combing over your driving record, and it aint good news" Its like fuck you. I was young and wild. My driving record was 24 pages front and back before I was even 21 and not to mention, I've only had 3 moving violations in the last 7 years and only 1 in my big truck. The other time I was in Ohio going threw a level 1 and this dot cop was on a creeper under my trailer and this other asshole comes out and tells me to "Move this truck" (with an attitude no less) so I started to explain that there was an officer on a creeper under my tandems but before I got the second word out of my mouth he told me to "Move now or go to fucking jail" lol...so I didnt release the brakes i just dropped it in gear an snapped the clutch real quick and I've never seen a creeper move so fuckin fast in my life lol. Dot cop that was on the creeper gets up an hes charging at my door so i stuck my head out and said, "before you jump down my throat, that ass hat right there told me if "i didnt move I was going to fucking jail" and pointed at him while he standed there like an idiot with his mouth open lol. He told me to carry on and have a good day....I'm sure he had some words for the mouth peice though.
Jeremy Wilson , That was AWESOME, I would have paid money to have seen that Gentleman on the Creeper, lol, Holy Shit,
I've had people bust the balls of the CHp DOT i tell you they are nothing like the dicks in Oregon and Washington state.
Say what now?
Lol you think this guy is nice
Seems like perfectly good waste of everybody’s time.
It's really not to make dumb ass people doing this stuff and not doing it right and fucking off so they need to be checked. He was over length and a lot of other stuff. Not fare for people who do it right.
@@supremeautomotive6749 "Hotshot"="Outlaw." If these guys want to be outlaws they need to expect to get a violation now and then. They push right up to the edge of the regulations and sometimes they go over the edge. "If you wanna play you gotta pay."
LOL. Yeah, but the driver was unaware his bed counted in the overall length. Lesson learned. I did not know either. As the tint, I have always run Illegal tint. Been stopped once for it but not ticketed ( 30 years now).
Until you try to take and oversized vehicle where it's not meant to be.
Couldn't of said it better. Maybe add money in there too.
"the federal gov law carries down to all lower 48 states, so it covers everywhere"
God, wish our 2A had the same feelings about it.
Wow.. the state trooper pretty much gave him future money saving advice. I would've been honored to pay that citation for that knowledge
Thanks for watching my video, here is a new video of me being pulled over, cops hiding in bushes wait until you see this! Please share this video on Facebook and any other social media you can, appreciate it, thanks again for watching. czcams.com/video/8hfcgF4v6xk/video.html
Careful out there guys, Road Pirates are everywhere.
Highway men it's actually terrorism what there doin
One of the best law enforcement interaction videos I’ve seen. It’s shows what happens when both parties are respectful.
Please share it with friends, on your Facebook so people can see if your decent with law enforcement they are decent with you
@@HotshotTruckingandTravel This is in majority true, but we both know you never know who your going to deal with... There is always that one that would make your day.
You should respect someone even if they don't respect you.
Everything wrong with the industry in one video. This industry is mired down in so many petty regulations you almost need a law degree to be a trucker now days. Hopefully things will continue to get worse and force enough drivers to quit and they will be forced to reexamine the industry and the need for all these regulations.
It aready happened. Semi truck drivers don't get paid enough. Cops are over egoed because lots of reasons. Waste your time for crapp while court fees and all bs cost your time. So no wonder alot of people go away from hauling.
It won't change for better, only for worse.
Theres why there is a "trucker shortage". Truckers aren't a profession to fuck with either if they refused to work just for a week and the country would go into a panic no food no medical supplies no basic everyday things we take for granted and eventually enough will be enough and it will happen. Politicians and Dot cops could refuse to work for years and it would be business as usual for 99% of the country.
It was all by design.
Eventually it will be autonomous.
They are forcing truck drivers out of business for a reason,soon we will have self driving trucks running the country,Uber is already getting their foot in trucking business
Make sure that you have your paperwork squared away when you get stopped by the ‘Man’.
That officer should be used to train all policemen on how to behave and do their job correctly when dealing with the public. He was knowledgeable and courteous.
That's because they were cooperative and acted like men most not ALL most bad interaction with cops are self inflicted
It's not the cops that need training it's the public. Point being be nice to cops u will be rewarded
I run hot shot. I’m 66’4” and I have a bed. Never got a single violation for anything. California too. 4 inspections in 16 months. But I treat them with respect. My brother passed his inspection but guy warned him about tint. My brother got a smart mouth and he put him out of service for length. You show respect most are easy going. Disrespectful and they can hang you for any little thing
Don't understand the "must watch" part of this video.
Me either....he was out of whack and got a ticket...and.....????
Because there are regulations discussed that might not be common info. Must watch for educational purposes.
@Transparency Project - Most people in the freedom movement and the majority of CZcams users in general will find this to be useless and a complete waste of their time, however, Truck Drivers like Ricky Munday may find the information useful.
@@at1enforcer340 I can dig that
The technical term is VLT or variable light transmission for tint.
Too d@mn much government.
Too d@mn much regulation.
Time for a change.
This is actually a great example of how a stop with DOT should go. You guys were extremely polite and professional and so was the officer. Me and my brothers own a heavy duty towing company in Maine and I can’t count the times a tow could’ve been avoided if the drivers had been as respectful as you. I’ve been OTR for 6 years and I’ve always had polite encounters with DOT even the times I was ticketed.
Polite you have no choice but to be polite these dot officers are operating on a communist play book they are funneling money out of the working class and strait to the banks of the politicians who run the states these officers are guilty of treason regulations are unconstitutional they are literally telling you how much time off you have to take how long you can work and make you believe you are a public risk for driving 12 hours 😂 what a joke we’ve let this tyranny fly for to long
Yea, my first trip. I'm learning how to deal with Road Priates
LOL
🤣🤣🤣
What's a priate?
Hey dumb ass if you don’t know what a pirate is then there isn’t anything anyone can help you with unless you’re around 3or4 years old
I own a Trucking company and never ever once even had a DOT cop treat me like a ATM always give respect and be prepared and run a clean truck we try to show how on our channel but not a expert just be doing it 30 years
That's why my truck has no window tint on front windows and I am set up as a cab and chassis with just a gooseneck hitch, auxillary fuel tank and tool boxes.
Just get a medical, it's easy. Say I drive all day and the sun bothers my eyes. I did it.
Did hot shot for three years unless you work direct with shippers, brokers will get about 25% of everything you do. You can make it if you live in the truck. DOT ( department of tyrants)
I wonder how dark the dot officers car windows are tinted, that's the conversation I had with a Florida Dot officer, He laughed and let me go
E.X.A.C.T.L.Y.

Can you imagine how worthless he feels after going home at the end of the day and realizing he accomplished nothing other than hurting an honest working man?
How did he hurt him. By keeping our roads safe?
Did he sprain a muscle lifting his paper work? Did he make him miss his time line by delaying him 20 mins?
NO
He went home and was satisfied that he did his job.
How many times are people completely illegal?
Run a business learn the laws.
How America works.
@@edwardkucera9129 What was this guy doing that hurt people? His tint was literally not even dark. His trailer was within law. Everything he did was safe. Are you a fucking shill? Oh, sorry, I already know the answer to that. The cop was looking to write a ticket to give income to the elitist morons who make the laws. Because that is his job. What is the trucker's job? To deliver much needed wares to the people. Totally equal importance.
@@edwardkucera9129 What made the road safer in this incident? Does window tint of someone elses vehicle make you safer? Obviously the length isn't about safety if all he has to do is take off the pickup bed to be over 65 feet.
"I'm trying to do you a favor by writing you a lesser ticket" cops are a joke. "Trying to save you some money."

Research the Cloward and Piven strategy..
It helps being courteous to the officer.
PLUS, it really helps knowing the DOT/FMCSA laws!
I think a lot of hotshot drivers don't know the legalities.
Just my thought, no accusations on this guy. He handled it right.
I always was polite to cops,sherriffs, dot. Never got me in trouble, and they looked at me in better light. Polite but firm. Camera on dash recording will do miracles. Lol.
It helps if you just act like you're just another pickup truck driving down the road.
Dot officer did his job , was very thorough, but damn man come on man stop with to much over the top regulation so the driver can do his job and keep the economy going. To much regulation will literally push people away from becoming a cdl driver , which in return will make for a less productive America
Jackie Brown words of wisdom,..😎👍
That is truly a scary thought. We need men working and we need goods and services shipped from Coast to Coast.
Your correct. His job is to harrass and he did a most honorable job.
All part of the master plan, research the Cloward and Pivens strategy
Trump doesn't care, and neither Congress or Senate. All they want is money.
I think the officer was very nice and professional. He was doing his job, as an ex-trucker it is the drivers job to know the rules of the road. He was 8' over length and that does become a safety concern. There is a reason for the rules, usually due to a tragedy that happened at some time or of some sort. All in all, good cop, good driver.
Why does he give a working man a hard time?
That guy is a joke.
Dude in the passenger seat should have told him to fuck off with his Dot ass.
Follow the law dude safety for everyone. You dont want people haul over weight stuffs and cause an accident.
VERY professional interchange. Hats off to the driver/passenger and the officer!
Officer could have written him a warning.
You are positive and practical, stop ruining the internet.
Hats off to the officer for making the dude feel like it was a positive exchange. He flawlessly executed that encounter like a slick, veteran used car salesman. Thumbs down to the passengers for getting kicked in the balls and saying "thank you" afterwards. Lol
@@back2vinyl493 LOLOL. Next time I'll try to be a cynical and cranky SOB!
You handled the situation very camly and both were very respectful and I believe this officer took that into consideration by not getting you for everything under the sun. I believe that the way you were compliant and not trying to argue or act like you knew more about the law then him definitely did help alot. Well done sir.
Basically, be something subservient to the almighty road extortionists.
@@thekarmalife2693 -- I believe that the Founding Fathers intended for a small federal government whose purpose was to protect our rights from being infringed upon by the states. The question though would be whether it is better for there to be a federal agency (DOT) that is creating rules that every state must follow or for each state to have its own rules. It would seem like a regulatory nightmare if we allowed each state to create their own rules for commercial trucking. I'm sure there are plenty of state specific rules already, but I suspect it would be even worse without the DOT. Maybe some sort of commerce treaty system would have evolved between the states if they hadn't been forced to accept the DOT.
I can remember when it was not uncommon for OTR drivers to have driver's licenses from multiple states and 2 sets of logbooks. They would have one driver's license that they used whenever they got a ticket and another one that was kept clean that was used for insurance purposes. With the way that everything is computerized these days and how states share information, that sort of thing is probably not possible.

You can have a 53’ trailer as long as the length from your kingpin/gooseneck to rear axle is under 40’-6”
I haul boats, my overall length is 75 feet because I can put boats on the truck with a 53 foot trailer.
Road pirates are real 👊🏽. I met you yesterday.
Damn, dude asked every question in the book! Glad i dont have these guys around me.
So on the tiny law thing. He said any tint over factory is illegal. It's a known fact that there is a health issue with skin cancer on the left side of the face of drivers. Bc they spend most their life with the left side of their face with the sun beaming on it. So does that mean if I get skin cancer from that I can sue the government for not allowing me to protect my skin.

I’ll be waiting for your story on the news.
Your professional helped in this situation; Kudos. The Officer was very professional too. Lesson learned. Safe travels.
This officer is a pro at getting your money.Lesson learned BW.
The reg is 49 CFR 393.60 Subpart D. Which makes it US wide.
~~Commercial Vehicles can't have tint greater than 70LTV (transmitted).
The driver was probably measured for a passenger vehicle limits in the state of TN.
Even Missouri has a Passenger Vehicle front tint of 35%LTV. Which 15% would fail.
The window tint limits for Passenger Vehicles have only have to meet the laws the state it is licensed in.
The problem is as a commercial vehicle, you can't have anything but clear UV tint on the front windows.
The DOT officer seemed like a very professional and kind DOT officer.
He was not angry, or rude, or otherwise unpleasant. Nice to see professionals at work.
He even gave tips on taking off the bed to avoid the length limit rule in the future.
DOT was actually pretty good mood.
An example how all stops should go...polite, courteous, respectful for all parties involved
Money,money,money is how this stop ended.
Sometimes you get that ONE dot cop that couldn't make the force that has a chip on their shoulder all damn day long and it never happens. Cause they are the ones being a dick.
They have a law for everything.
Yahoo, that's why we are "free".
Free to pay to be controlled.

I wondered why I see some guys with their bed off the truck and now I know why lol .
I allway thaut it was because they wrecked the bed. And it was easior to remove or to remove weight for more load capacity
Freindly piece of advice. Study FMCSA regulations. I.e. never go off duty during an inspection. Vehicle lenghts in southern states like Georgia who enforce the bridge law to a T. Print out hard copies of all documents and put it in a binder. Then you can hand it to the officer who will take it back to his car.
Geez. I'm a female wanting to get started and now I don't. Smh. You work hard and society still finds a way to dig and dig in your pocket...unless you're rich and then you're offered "exceptions." The window tint with him looking was funny. 😂
South Beach Transport = Sounds like a new reality show on A&E.
IF that name is trademarked.....he may be in trouble !
he was also informing them that by making the truck a flatbed it would make the length legal to.
Actually it can't have a bad at all. It has to be frame and registered as a tractor. Not a pickup for that leng
@@joespappa wrong. That was straight from the DOT officers mouth. I think he knows the law.
Ok. Bed or no bed. Or flat bed?
The truck already had a bed, that was the problem. A straight truck (or any form of cargo carrying power unit) pulling a trailer is limited to 65 feet overall. That is the minimum length that federal regs require the states to allow for that configuration. They may choose to allow more. Apparently MO does not.
By removing the bed, the truck is no longer capable of carrying cargo and becomes a truck-tractor, and the entire combination is considered a tractor-trailer. At that point there is no overall length limit.

What's funny is it only takes like 10 seconds to equalize the audio for an entire video
DOT took all his lunch $
Loud end video scared my chihuahua 😁😁
Just learned the difference between a truck trailer and a truck tractor trailer thanks to this video
"I gave you a ticket for the length because it's cheaper than the window tint"
"How much is the ticket?"
"I have no idea"
Wtf...
lmao!
Thought I was the only one that caught that
😭😭😭💀
Just got hit for the same thing brother two weeks ago so i feel you’re pain. They found every little thing to get me, which included the guy gave me the highest inspection possible but did not get any other hotshots. Stay safe out there!
ahh a Level 1. Don't take this wrong i've seen a lot of hot shot set ups that should never be on the road The one i know they tend to get a lot of you for is the Battery on the Trailer *if you have electric brakes * not being charged or the breakaway chains not being hooked up right or they don't have a cdl due to what the trailer can haul.
The real problem here is that when a person takes a non commercial vehicle made for private recreational purposes within a STATES jurisdiction and uses it as a commercial vehicle, their will be things that must be changed/understood/removed or added to be compliant with it's FEDERAL DOT use, i.e., mud flaps, clearence lights, current log books, scale reports, etc., the guy didn't pay attention to dot regs that limit commercial vehicles length and window tint, anyone with a brain knows that length is the combined length of the truck and trailer bumper to bumper! Their ought to be a manual or test to become a hotshot driver...
@@superiorcarpetpaintllc4351 there already is a test when you apply to get your commercial license dummy.
Mans whipped out that tint meter fast as hell lol
Gotta justify his method of extorting from the real working class folks making an actual honest living.
zoticus1 This, all these regulations DOT come up with under the guise of “safety”...they don’t give two shits about safety. It’s about they fines and the money.
teggsrb18c1 couldn’t agree more
If you see obvious dark tint you grab the meter. If an EMT sees blood he grabs bandages. I can’t see that as an officer overstepping or being aggressive. Especially since he didn’t cite him for it.
jimmy aber I don’t think he was overstepping either, he was a cool about it.
That's a bullshit ticket. I would go to court and fight it, asking the judge why tour buses are allowed to have tinted windows. They're commercial vehicles, aren't they?
James Collier
They making take off now
@@inthisdaynagetoday6449 Kind of hard to take it off of a tour bus when it's factory tinted glass. Stupid if you ask me.
The drivers side windows on a coach are not tinted dark, only the passenger sides.
Wow wtf? I for one feel much safer knowing they're out there defending the roads.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Being a former police officer in Pa. Getting at least one or two officers "DOT" certified means big revenue for the Township, Borough, etc. Not kidding.
Lol wouldn't doubt it. Wanna know why suicide is illegal? Because you no longer pay taxes🤣. Nothing but money grabs.
So you were a gang member to the only part of the population that is bald and no pussy getting extortion getting assholes
Anything to steal as much money as they can ! Disgusting !
when I drove and got pulled over for inspection I would say go ahead and I would stand there. they didn't like it I wouldn't help them but I have a right not to incriminate myself and I did a pre trip but cant say a tail light didn't burn out 10 miles ago.
david farmer ween NY, NJ& OHIO, that’s why everybody went to LEDs , as there is aNO FILIMANT to break, as you noticed most aLED assemblies typically have 9 segments , so if 1 were to go YOU STILL HAVE TAILLIGHTS, on my car , back up lamps, license plate, are LED s, now waiting for headlights. Cheers from NJ
Man what a inconvenience having everything be digital on your phone instead of handing over paperwork like the old days
Yeah we need to go back to the good ole days. Where everyone had polio and black people had different drinking fountains.
Your going to far back guys
Let’s go back to when there was dinosaurs and no paperwork!!!
Right. I'm sure like the old days you don't use a cell phone, elevator, microwave, Bluetooth, power car windows, key fob to unlock your car, etc.

Wow, I commend you on your patience. I know you have no choice but holy hell!! He forgot to get out a torque wrench and check the lug nuts. What a bs fishing expedition!!
Unbelievable!!
Lol
Just got a nice dually, looking to get into some trucking. Seems like a lot to think about but hoping to pick up a 2 car trailer this summer!
Way too much regulation. I bet it was nice back in the day when officers of the law new everyone in town and didn’t just pull you over to waste time. I respect the law but damn.
Just a money collector by jealous point of view thinking that you have or make a lot off money
Ridiculous unprofessional
That's probably the best interaction with DOT I've seen.
I mean, that’s one polite officer. Good job on Both sides. Very professional
This guy has no clue! Tint really,paper work,tags, not updated to match logs,no knowledge of the industry’s classification of the vehicle he owns. DOT will chew you up and learn you real hard. Warnings hit points on license and the ticket went at the company’s CSA. That just got shot to shit if you have only a small truck fleet. Don’t worry it’s a really expensive parking ticket!
What makes this a "much watch" video? Now I guess we have to deal with "title baiting", along with "click baiting".. 🙄🙄🙄
Ikr
if you ever wanted to get into "hauling" this is good shit to know.
It's a must-watch for people needing information on starting a Hotshot trucking company. I found this information in this video very valuable. Because the Tennessee State Troopers and the Mississippi State Troopers said exactly the opposite that this Trooper said when we got pulled over for no tag on our trailer. In Tennessee the trailer does not have to have a tag. But in Mississippi it does. The window tint according to Mississippi and Tennessee they have their set at 35% and that is for everybody. When you remove the bed from your pickup you become a 100% commercial vehicle only when you have a trailer attached. If you leave the bed on you can get different commercial settings even agriculture. Each State's laws rules and regulations are different for commercial vehicles. To be an educated driver you need to know every state you go through there laws rules and regulations. And these towns and cities that don't won't 18 wheelers going through need to have better markings on their roadways and get together with one of the GPS corporations to program truckers a GPS so they will not drive on restricted roads.
@@watchingtn.7334Once registered commercial, always commercial.
My husband wants to start doing hot shot but it just seems to be a big headache
Damn Rene - i thunk i blew past you on the hwy dude! Thanks for Holding Him uP for the rest of us!!!
This DOT officer is just like all DOT officers,they are money hungry.PERIOD
He's a guy, doing his Job ... Just like you. 👍
he,s only doing his job....
he didnt make al the stupid rules....
The officer is doing a job that keeps other drivers safe. Somehow that makes him money hungry?
@@MrBugsier5 HE DIDN'T WRITE THE WINDOW the reason he pulled over for .
@@daisyq3418 HE DIDN'T WRITE THE WINDOW the reason he pulled over for
Years ago dot never bothered pick up trucks but they realized all the money they can make ticket just as much as big rigs
No, the DOT knows that a good portion of these hot shot guy are not properly licensed and don't even carry log books or proper paperwork. Some don't have DOT numbers. They think they can buy a pickup truck and trailer and they are in the trucking business. The DOT actively go after these hot shots because they know this from experience.
Good Cop and told him he would not get a expensive ticket and nothing would go on his driving licence and glad to see nobody got hurt over killed !
This is one of the biggest reasons why I passed on trying to do hot shot work
same here. sickening
I think the truckers were extremely polite and organized an the DOT guy was as well.
That's because you will not win a mouthy battle with a State officer.
He has the ticket book
What's amazing is this dood has his license plates in hand but didn't care to put them on . Now if he had gotten a ticket for that, I guess it would be another reason to cry. This driver was very lucky to be pulled over with this nice officer. Don't expect the same in Virginia.
Max those plates are not for the truck he is driving, they were for the cars he was transporting
@@kingkongoofficial7977 I am going to give up my cdl since I'm deaf and blind. I know that officer asked you for new plates for the truck not the cargo veichle. Who cares about cars on trailer. Very bad practice. Get legal.
No this man was very unlucky to be pulled over at all, this man was very unlucky to be trying to make a living in a country that has become so centralized that you can't even have a business without having to memorize hundreds of laws and regulations; and now it is sad to see that the cattle have been brainwashed to think that the people are wrong and not the laws!
@@tommywilson4027 the laws are not to be memorized Mr.honest man. If you understand the law there is nothing to memorize. That was school days when they thought you to memorize. Oops you probably didn't go to school. The laws are set to keep the honest man honest and in this guys case even the laws failed and he lied to the officet. How about that my freind with your 2bit honestman. If you can't follow a couple of simple rulles what is your honesty good for.
Dot is not that big of deal if you're on point with your equipment and permits. I've only been driving 5 years I've yet to have an issue. Had a couple of road side inspections. The day may come sometime though. so I do the best pre-trip i can and run legal. It's all you have to do.
Step one if your going to run super dark window tint, tell the shop to leave at least 2” clear from window edges, officers’ window tint reader can’t reach to get a reading so while he may complain he won’t be able to write you for it legally, enjoy drivers
I had gotten a window tint ticket too .. that's a stupid law
My tint is prescribed.
That’s right
I understand window tint has a purpose, but it's actually very unsafe when you are driving a 70' tractor & trailer down the highway at night. Makes it very hard to see the end of that trailer. And that's why it's not allowed.
granitecowboy2199 maybe to you. Not to us many young people. My trailers have bright led markers at the very end and on each corners. I get some people can't see out the tint... that's why you have the option to remove it. I feel like it's against the law Cus they wanna be able to see who's behind the wheel when they look.
@@Sydwayz504 I get that some people can see better at night than others. But laws are written for the public at large and not for individuals. And the vast majority of people who drive commercially, are the older generations. If the sun is burning your arms. There are clear uv blocker coatings you can get.
“I only gave you one ticket for causing absolutely no harm. It’s the least I could do.” “Now go ahead and pull out into traffic from the side of the road from a dead stop.” “Drive safely.”
This guy was 73' on a regular LIGHT DUTY truck. That's a LOT of weight for that truck. It's not like he was driving a class 6-8 tractor with brakes spec'd to stop that kind of load.
That has to be the most professional DOT officer I have ever seen.
Having Trucked coast to coast back in the day, this was one of the nicest DOT Cops I have ever seen... most like to trip on the power..
Even though you guys were very polite and respectful to him, he gave you a ticket. If I were him, I would have given you guys a pass. Honestly hardworking people like the two of you deserve break, but here in America we have a dollar price on our forehead.
hahaha DOT im trying to help you save a few bucks. then don't write that ticket and give him a warning!
Ronnie Rocha *write
You want the ticket. He can fight that. Can’t do anything with a warning.
There were plenty more he could have written. Damn nice guy.
DOT officers believe any commercial vehicle is thire privet slot machine
Keep your stuff wired tight. Have your permit book in easy reach from the driver's seat. Same goes for your DOT manual as well the instruction manual for your ELD. Fly under the radar. Keep your rig clean inside the cab and the exterior. No speeding, Signal when changing lanes. Easy stuff.
"I appreciate your service" - WTF?
Thats what years of brainwashing will do to you. "Thank you Officer for taking food out of my kids mouths" lol.....
@P S WTF are you on about? Are you a Cop Sucker by any chance?
Interstate commerce should dictate that a vehicle registered to operate on the roadway in should not have to make monetary vehicle modification at the state line to comply with tint laws in . Imagine if they said you had to have a second catalytic converter on your vehicle, and your state only required one, are you required to install new equipment in order to enter the state with your vehicle? That's just dumb.
DOT picks on hotshotters non stop. Simply because it's easier to bust them because there's less to do on an inspection. No air brakes or anything.
I could never be a trucker he’s all up in your business
The dot man really did them a favor. He chose the cheaper and less harmful charge. Usually in criminal cop work they pick the highest charge.Fix that tint.It ain't like Texas...tjats the Midwest.
Randy Cessna
Yes you are right
Texas would it make then take it off on spot
I think you should be allowed to have your window tint as dark as you want! Keep the sun off you, keep it cooler in your vehicle.
Better cut plywood and fit it into window frame.
We can in Florida. But as soon as I travel outside the state, I know it's gonna be an issue.
truckers getting skin cancer on their left side arm, face and shoulder is a real thing
R Gaddy - as long as your vehicle is registered in Florida and the tint meets Florida’s rule then it doesn’t matter where you drive to, if another cop tells you different they are jacked up and need schooling
@@Bos742
interstates are federal property and federal law applies, I traveled a lot hauling race cars in many states, and the rules can be vastly different in each state and even between different cops, I have had cops stand by the side of the road and argue with each other over about how a break-away switch should be installed, and whether I should be locked down for not complying with their interpretation
Notice ,the citizens get a ticket from something he doesn't know, but when the cop doesn't know,nothing happens.
A trick I learned with tinted windows.. Always pull the other windows down when getting a tint inspection that will allow more light to shine through and you will be ok.
You think that video was bad, look at what these cops are doing to me: czcams.com/video/8hfcgF4v6xk/video.html
