You had everything ready and organized. Trooper asked for documents and handed stuff over without having to hunt around the cab. Shows you're a professional driver who was responsible and respectful. In and out in less time to get a coffee a pee lol. Stay safe J
32 years in transportation and this is one of the most professional drivers in the way he handled that Inspection. Sir, I commend you. UPS is hiring if you need a job.
This DOT officer was cool. I wish most of them would be this cool and laid back, be calm to earth and exploratory. Thumbs up to this âold timerâ...
elitedata obviously you donât know. Otherwise youâll have known that sounds nothing like gun shots. Thereâs no concussions following the shots. They arenât echoing the slightest bit. Only thing you know about guns are what u see in movies. & for u to assume that someone has to be in Chicago because gunshots erupt shows that youâre ignorant and disconnected from the real world.
Driver, your videos are the best training videos for everybody - rookie and experience. Although I'm retired (OTR) I do miss it from time to time. Great stuff.
My god the crap you have to go through now. I drove about 29 years ago out of Texarkana TX. when we had the paper logs and I could dot my log when I had to, but today that is over with. My hats off to you and all the other fellows O.T.R.
Yeah, that was a level III driver only. I just had my first one while driving through Washington State. Good officer. Very thorough, but friendly. He laughed at my joke.
I just came across your videos. I like the way you do them. This one in particular makes me so glad that I got off the road 6 years ago. I sure don't miss it. I didn't have the "pleasure" of using electronic logs, so your screen was basically greek to me. What bothered me about your experience here is that he kept you there a long time, though he was not "playing god" over you, he also wasn't very "friendly" either. I think it would be safe to assume that if you didn't have the camera rolling, his attitude may have been much different, and not in a positive way. I DO miss pulling reefer units, but I DO NOT miss the log book. Not one bit. God blessed me with a great local job which I actually get paid more than the OTR companies I was with, and I go home every day, and off every weekend. And since my hours are 7 am to 5 pm Mon. thru Fri, and I stay within the 100 mile radius, hee hee, NO LOG BOOK. I always hated a piece of paper telling me that I am too tired to drive.
LOl last company i drove for I love Blitz Week knowing i will pass i wasn't worried. Every inspection i pass matter which level 1-4 Full, Papers, walk around bring it on.. 100 Cash bonus every time. Always a good week. i can range between 100 to 900 extra for that week. * yes i got Inspected 9 flipping times one time two lvl 1's rest just lvl 3's
@Jere Here Most companies will get a heads up from the Federal Govt its not like its a surprise. But some won't tell their drivers Google DOT Blitzweek and the year it will come up or look on the FMCSA's homepage.
been drivin' for over 35 years and never had a dot inspection or anything,cept by mexico and texas,but that was the boarder patrol not dot. great video
i was always legal and i never had trouble with wiegh stations n i pesonnely never went thru a dot inspection when you run by the law you never have to worry about anything so apparently alfred you a outlaw trucker that shouldnt be on the roads then.
hey great to hear,nothing anyone can say will help but just follow the rules and watch them crazy ass 4 wheelers around ya,you should do good,i would still be driving if i didnt have a stroke dude,kinda miss trucking after doing it all your life
I make it a habit of taking my 30 minute after working 6 hours then you won't have to worry about a violation and then I look for a place at least an hour before my 14 is up you have to learn how to manage your time
Any inspection is on duty, ur working when providing info and showing eld logs , u have not left the truck , but are still performing job related duties
Any time .not driving .off duty ...I'm forced to stop I'm off duty this isn't job related it's cops trying to fk u over aka doing there job...fuk that off duty because they are wasting my work time too...
I drove back in the late SEVENTIES and early eighties when truckin was fun. Lots of tattle tales out there these days. They know your precise location.
Unless its different in states, a level 1 is a full inspection. A level 3 is what you went through, paperwork only or (driver.) I just did a level 1 on the side of the road outside of Kanab, UT. Level 1 is everything... you, the truck, paperwork, the kitchen sink. Its when the officer puts on coveralls and grabs his tools. It sounded like gun shots going off randomly in your video. I am a new driver trying to pick up on all the tips and tricks to help makes things easier. The officer told me that if you get pulled over, you shouldnt touch your logs at all. The officer will tell you what and how to change your logs at the end, times, where you are, etc. I appreciate your videos cause they help me. Thanks!
In sweden we have driving time for 4,5 hours, and after that you most take 45 minutes brake. And after that drive 4,5 hours again. But sometimes you CANâT just stop and you drive over. Then you most print out an paper from the trucks computer and write on it WHY you drove over.
It's just so easy to comply with what they want. I don't know why people make a big deal about it. Yes it's a waste of time. Specially the portabales up there in Cairo, IL. But just be legal, comply with what they want, and move on about your day.
DOT didn't catch that you put yourself as OD when pulled into the scale but you caught it afterwards and corrected it. You must always provide your logs even if they are ELDs. I believe you need to show no more than 7 days but it may be up to 14 days. Once you know how many days for sure delete it off your ELD's so DOT can't find earlier violations. Safe haven means you can drive to the nearest safe haven, to you position, but it doesn't mean you can stop at the first safe haven along your intended route. If there's a safe haven closer by, in your rear mirror, you must turn around. Hope this helps.
Actually Kansas is top notch very professional an respectful, all these super truckers that talk the talk but walk the walk or drive in a sense .take pride in your job drive with courtesy an respect,an help the new happy trails 10 4
Such a good driver!!! Regulations are for everybody protection!! I love my gov they do the best for us , Thank you YOU TRUCK DRIVERS but the nicest ones.
Thank you for taking the time to video this. My first time seeing an inspection. So basically he was making sure you paid taxes and are being a safe driver. đ€·đœââïž
All truck now MUST have manual for electronic log book which is installed in your truck. To be able show how to operate your electronic book ( many different units cops cannot memorize all how to operate them) Soon will be and that is for sure WI-FI electronic logs when DOT will pull your logs while driving.Same in Swiss they have that already for 10 years.Driving next to you and see all on your log book. Cop say 7 and half hour lol. Law say in 8 hours to take brake. Save haven is the all depend on if all go smooth no problem you can take but having accident in that time will be against us drivers. lol Love all your videos JBG.
Thanks for asking those questions. It was nice to hear some additional information /clarification from a DOT perspective. It's good when they are decent with you. Stay safe out there.
Hey John, I'm surprised he didn't ask about the camera. If you are recording. He might have asked you to turn it off and delete any of the inspection. Safe travels John ! Peace âđ»ïž
I remember that night you went over your hours and had to go find a safe haven for the night that was a good idea for you to clarify that question with him .
As a former truck driver a wasn't never stop by D.O.T. or had to go in any inspection stop area most of the time they where close. Maybe because I had drive after midnight all the time. First time I see an inspection by D.O.T. very professional by the D.O.T. officer very professional on his behalf.
Interesting how I works out for drivers, you must stay on duty for fueling, DOT inspections, pre-trip, yet government does not say that you must get payed for that time. Why not?
I got pulled in during sting week once. ONCE. They spent almost an hour under my truck, and came up looking disappointed that there were no violations to be found. I park for those 3 days every time it happens, now, and find myself a cozy hotel with a real nice hot tub. The difference in my stress level is palpable. If it were just level 2's like what you seem to have gotten, wouldn't be a big deal. But when it's a level 1 and they get the gloves on and get under the truck... yeah, no. Even *_I_* start to feel like some kind of criminal when they go out of their way like that
I was trucking OTR in the early 80's, when truckin was fun. Got out in 85, and glad I did. The government has taken all the fun, and all the money out of this job. And...back in the day, there were very few accidents involving semi's even though we ran two log books and no speed limiters on our trucks. It was just "hammer down" and run all night and we had an absolute blast! And to keep us from falling asleep we had to constantly listen to the engine to figure out when to shift our 13 speeds.....not sure how they stay awake in today's trucks with automatic transmissions. That would make for a long boring day of driving!! Reply
billyboi57 I use an iPad Pro and have it in the middle of the center dash and when I hand it to them they rather me just email em my logs đđ there has been maybe 3 officers who held it and went through it but the rest want the email sent to them.
Sub-26001 can still be regulated as a commerical vehicle if it's a vehicle that's primarily used for commerce, which is why hotshots are restricted by any regulations at all. Just because you don't need a CDL doesn't mean it isn't commercial driving. The pickup truck with the fat pipes on the flatbed is a great example. At work every day I see cherry pickers with DOT numbers on them. They're F550s so maybe their GVWR is that high but I doubt it. If it's commerce the govt has very little trouble regulating it.
As for the personal RV, no idea. Could be Kansas law, could be the driver just wanting a ticket, who knows. Could just be driver ignorance thinking he needs a ticket when he doesn't.
Wow when I drove we ran sometimes three log books, the trucks were cabovers not nice like todayâs trucks, we used to say we live like dogs in a doghouse pissing on wheels.
Right, off-duty to on-duty. JBG needs to learn what the duty statuses mean. Inspection, regardless of what kind is always logged as on-duty. You just got away with a log violation.
I still think it's neat seeing an old cab over earning it's keep. I miss seeing them on the highway. He is right ya know, people don't always tell us the truth.
Number off your door? More like check your fire extinguisher and see if the inside of your truck is messy to see if he thinks he should inspect your tractor/trailer...
Nice seeing your videos again, just put the bell for all videos upload. Great video, you know when i was a driver i've never had a inspection stop lol, maybe cause i used to drive after midnight, always used to see the inspection station close hahaha.
Gary Johnson no those are gun shots. Last time I was driving thru Kansas I got stopped at this very weigh station itâs in Olathe KS, and behind this station they do training for tactical and swat teams. There was a ton of practice shooting when I was there too it was obnoxious.

Safe Haven is a term associated with Hazmat parking only. I think you are looking for this regulation. Adverse Driving Conditions 395.1(b)(1) found in the hours of service section.
You had everything ready and organized. Trooper asked for documents and handed stuff over without having to hunt around the cab. Shows you're a professional driver who was responsible and respectful. In and out in less time to get a coffee a pee lol. Stay safe J
32 years in transportation and this is one of the most professional drivers in the way he handled that Inspection. Sir, I commend you. UPS is hiring if you need a job.
You haven't seen how willy lump lump handles his. Or should I say handled may he rip.

Shows how much they don't know, I've had dirty elogs using my off duty driving hour. Two bears checked them out and said my logs cleared.
Well, that DOT guy seemed decent. Glad everything was ok, JBG.
Kansas dot are always the nicest guys.
greg wright this guy was wonderful
That's cause in Kansas most of them have family out there driving trucks and aint trying to take your job from you over some B.S..
There is a difference between "rules" and "Common Law", many times law enforcement get the two mixed up. Some are discretionary and flexible.
Nice to see how calm you stayed that does so much good in the trucking world. Thanks for keeping our countryâs well stocked. Stay safe

At work every day I see cherry pickers with DOT numbers on them. They're F550s so maybe their GVWR is that high but I doubt it. If it's commerce the govt has very little trouble regulating it.
As for the personal RV, no idea. Could be Kansas law, could be the driver just wanting a ticket, who knows. Could just be driver ignorance thinking he needs a ticket when he doesn't.
@@cm01 maybe the rv owner pulled in to ask them something or to get out and stretch his legs
The truck pulling the RV LOOKED like it was a commercial transporter
they do this vermont sometimes but not to this extent. Also HOLY CRAP there is a freightliner cabover!!! nice catch!
As a truck driver I would hate dealing with those inspection stations
Wow when I drove we ran sometimes three log books, the trucks were cabovers not nice like todayâs trucks, we used to say we live like dogs in a doghouse pissing on wheels.
Its a nail gun in the background lmao
You are not a bother .I enjoy watching ing your video s I like listening to u
That's sound like my neighborhood
What kind of questions u asking. Of course they can review your logs
When your being inspected you don t log out you are on duty not driving

Right, off-duty to on-duty. JBG needs to learn what the duty statuses mean. Inspection, regardless of what kind is always logged as on-duty. You just got away with a log violation.
Why does it matter either way ?
t hunter because you can only drive 14 or 15 hours a day depending on where you live .
@@voidcheque7019 you can only drive 11hrs a day. Work 14.
I still think it's neat seeing an old cab over earning it's keep. I miss seeing them on the highway. He is right ya know, people don't always tell us the truth.
Number off your door? More like check your fire extinguisher and see if the inside of your truck is messy to see if he thinks he should inspect your tractor/trailer...
Scoofio1987 might have been checking the VIN
large companies are notorious for putting plates on wrong truck or trailer, was probably making sure VIN matched registration
Nice seeing your videos again, just put the bell for all videos upload. Great video, you know when i was a driver i've never had a inspection stop lol, maybe cause i used to drive after midnight, always used to see the inspection station close hahaha.
I know it was three years ago, but that sounds like a nail gun, somebodies getting a new roof. Not gun fire!
Gary Johnson no those are gun shots. Last time I was driving thru Kansas I got stopped at this very weigh station itâs in Olathe KS, and behind this station they do training for tactical and swat teams. There was a ton of practice shooting when I was there too it was obnoxious.
if thats a nail gun that roof would take 20 years to finish lol

And the cycle continues. The cost just gets forwarded to you so what to they care?
Safe Haven is a term associated with Hazmat parking only.
I think you are looking for this regulation. Adverse Driving Conditions 395.1(b)(1) found in the hours of service section.
It seems to be an acceptable practice by the DOT
Larry Ehrlich yuu yyyyyyyyyyh
