Im not helping my 5th Amendment and 4th Amendment inspect my trailer I'm 🛹 but I've been shut down every time they going to find something DOT corrupt AF
It is a money grab WTF else is it not safety
Hey BTW this man smoking crack if you snap those air lines your trailer will lock up trailer safety valve horse shit you disengage trailer air supply so it really don't matters I'm not doing it the can
You don't have to chalk wheels leave trailer air engage truck brakes set drop air supply until below 60 see if valvues disengage simple
I drive with 2 pitbulls they not getting in this truck I don't do drugs or even drink alcohol
I was in Miami once at a small pilot. I was lucky enough to get a parking spot. There were flatbed trucks beside me cooking out and drinking beer. I was invited so we were sitting in chairs drinking beer with chicken on the grill cooking when the highway patrol came through and saw us. He got out and talked to us for a few minutes and the only thing he said was when we went to get in the truck to go to bed to get in on the passenger side.
Hey that happened to me i think it was in either Nebraska or Wyoming. Like you we were just sitting around barbecuing and telling lies to each other. Trooper pulled up talked for awhile and before he left, he told us when we were done to get in on the passenger side.
@@O1dmanwalkerwhat difference does it make if you are the only one in the truck and that’s verifiable by your logs.
I don’t drink but when I do it’s in a bar next to a fine hotel with a free breakfast and late check out time
@@interestingcomments5178Getting in on the driver's side could give the "appearance" that you plan on driving.
hope they dont find my fleshlight😅
You should not EVER NEVER EVER help the DOT!! You have a 5th Amendment right to not incriminate yourself and you definitely don’t have to help them do their job! I tell my drivers if they get pulled in to ports, side of the road inspections or pulled over that they tell the officer they won’t answer questions without an attorney present! I also tell them to be polite but politely refuse to help them do their jobs! They don’t turn on headlights, step on brakes or anything else DOT requests except their license & paperwork. We have started fighting back, it’s time ALL truckers start fighting back as well.
If you're a company driver then you don't own the truck and the police can call your company and ask permission to search the vehicle and most companies will give them permission.
They still can't search your personal belonging like backpack, and suitcase
@@R.O.T.C._SEEM That is correct. Lock everything up. Always say no. If they start lying. Making shit up. Start recording.
@@R.O.T.C._SEEM True but they can still look in the cabinets and under the bunk and they can look in any open boxes or totes.
Not accurate. Whoever is in control of any vehicle is the consenting party. If you loan your car to a friend, it is the friend who becomes the consenting party.
I do my pretrip religiously every day.

Hammer down
Everyone should shut down I am off all week .
My vacation started last Friday when I parked off for 2 weeks
I'm doing one better tomorrow is my last day driving
I'm with you brother
Almost 24 years I'm done. They can have at it.
I'm shutdown for the week.
Truckers should get a $1,000 bonus for every passed inspection.
Why?
They are wasting a lot of the truckers time.
@@SpyderBlackOfficial Safe driving, loss of time, hassle. They are paid shitty in every other aspect.
some companies do give a bonus for passing inspections.
That's like saying we should tip the cashier at McDonald's for not messing up our order. That's their job.
When a law enforcement officer asks you to follow them to the next exit for an insp. Reply my company doesn't allow me to deviate from route except for fuel or rest & hand them the keys. Watch how fast they back pedal. Know your rights, truckers.
Can they just focus on English proficiency for once?
Or, they should just do DNA testing and who ever doesn't come up native get deported back to England
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
As Hispanic and English being my second language, I’m for it .
No. Joe Biden told them to ignore that. The white man is addicted to cheap labor and will never learn a lesson
It’s a good week to drive at night. Or put your truck in the shop & take an xtra day off.
The real pieces of shit operate at night and are waiting on ya. Like Steve urkle waiting on Laura. Except they more desperate to go after a working man. Lol. Bitches. AND NO ITS NOT THEM DOING A JOB. ITS THEM BEING DICKS
Dot flags the undocumented mexican caravan thru bc an American is trying to make a living!
Thats not always helpful because some weigh stations are open at night.....they know truckers thoughts about this situation.
Many states work around the clock on inspection blitzes. They will set up camps with extra inspectors to keep all bays full. Just use trucker path to see what’s going on and be prepared to be the lucky one
If I sat around wondering how the DOT was going to ruin my life I'd have high blood pressure....oh wait I already have high blood pressure from just dealing with my dispatcher
Hahahahahahhaha!
I realize that you haven’t driven as long as some of us out here but checking the tractor protection valve is part of a Level 1 inspection. It’s not typically done as this guy is describing. Usually they chalk your tires and with the engine off and the brakes released they (DOT) will ask you to “pump the brakes down” and they wait for the air pressure to drop and for the brakes to set. It’s done quite frequently.
Hey Alex I’m here to set some things somewhat straight. As a former CDL-A instructor. There’s a test called a in cab test that’s part of the pre trip inspection. During this test one of the things that is gone over is air brake and valve test. Where as the driver has to chock the wheels (or make sure they are on flat ground) and press in both valves. After pressing in both valves the driver is suppose to feather the pedal down to 60 psi which the low air warning light is to come on. When this light comes on the driver has to continue feathering the brake pedal down til the pressure gets between 20 and 40 psi, which should at that low of psi pop out the service and emergency brake valves indicating too low of pressure in the air tanks (which will apply all brakes). I’m not sure which driver this former state police officer has interviewed, also I’m not here to discredit him but there’s a lot of false information being put out there. Even when I went to CDL-A school 6 years ago we had to do the same in cab air brake and valve test. Now whether or not a driver does this daily or weekly is up for speculation but the conversation regarding valve tests not being apart of the pre trip or it’s not being taught is false news. I can name 2-3 schools on the east coast alone with more than several locations that apply these tests for every single student as a prerequisite for graduating.
He’s right on point. Know your rights. I have a family member that’s a DOT officer for Texas State Trooper he says he only check tires and brakes. He say that he’s not hard on Truckers because people have families to take care of. He mostly tell them and school them on what they need to be fixed and give them a verbal warning instead of putting it in the system.
that's stupid. these laws arent there to trouble you and give you a hard time. they are there to keep people safe and save lives. if they are too lazy to check for violations, they need to be fired.
Bad part is most drivers don't check this stuff at all
Another benefit of driving at night. 21 years OTR and night driving the last 9 years. Use your CB to let other drivers know what is going on at the scales. We would know ways around to dodge scales and DOT when they are on the hunt. I've never been shutdown or put out of service.
Never been put oos either.
They should shut down trucks with drivers that cannot communicate verbally in English without a phone.
The only problem with that is English is not the official language of the US. We actually don't have a language, English is the most common but it's no mandatory.
@@Bigkountryinc www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/enforcement/driver-qualifications-regulatory-guidance-concerning-applicability-language
So smart? How about you go and learn few other languages FIRST before making "smart" comments like that
Besides using a brain cells for a second before writing such nonsense. Truckers aren't politicians to perform in public🤦♂️
@@Bigkountryinc if you can’t read the road signs, which are in English, you are a hazard to everyone, especially in a big truck. We need to stop with the bullshit. English is our language
mother truckers with newer truck models, if you do the dashboard "air loss test" push the yellow in, press the service brake pedal, and test for airloss to make sure no air leaks without having to step foot out the truck. to my knowledge you can test each of the protection valves for tractor and trailer seperately and thus, not having to chalk the wheel since you can just hear for airleak from inside and confirm with the PSI loss like a regular airloss test of 60 seconds. i usually incorporate it with my airloss test. check for leaks first, if none, then release both tractor and trailer brakes by pushing valve in. the trailer protection valve usually activates around 50psi. once it does, i hold the brake until i know theres no leaks. after that, keep pumping the brakes until the yellow tractor protection valve also pops out above 20psi.
That sounds like more than they ask for and it could be considered a fail for not being able to follow instructions. Thousand dollar fine
@@wmorris3484 lol! im saying as a pretrip its a good way to inspect without needing to have chalks. if they ask for you to do a specific task then of course oblige. but doing that during pretrip takes only about a minute and youll know if its good for a DOT/MOT inspection
I was driving a truck that has 1100 miles on it a air line had some overspray on that looked cracked. DOT red tagged me made me change it even after machinic told him it was paint. Screwed my CSA score up fuck them !!
Four years ago, the Georgia CDL test tested the protection valve. Procedure was slightly different. Instead of removing the glad hands, we pumped the brake pedal until the protection valve opened.
This is still a valid procedure for testing the tractor protection valve if you’re a solo driver and don’t carry chocks. Just may make sure you test it regularly, if not daily, as required.
Make sure your dirty draws are thrown about the entire cab. #InspectThis... 😳😳
Lol!
Road Pirates are out enforce !! PS I got pulled across the scale in Des Moines Iowa last night and 3/4 of the people in the office policing me could not pass to get a health certificate and I could tell by looking at them
I got were I liked getting dot inspection
Cause I'd get a 100 dollar bonus
All I had to do was pass the inspection
Keep my logbook caught up
Make sure everything matched
And the vehicle was safe and working like it should
And the cargo was properly secured 😊
I had almost new tires. Construction just before scale damaged my tire. Got put out of service
friend drove into scale hooks were 300 feet before scale. Friend and like 10 other drivers got placed out of service
Was pulled over in Indiana by a she Bear during inspection week. She told me to break my seal on the trailer. Looked in and let me go. I asked her if she would sign my bills for breaking the seal. She refused to
They are supposed to carry their own seals as officers and note the bol they broke seal for inspection and wrote new seal number down name a badge number
They have to reseal and note it. I wouldn’t have moved. Would’ve called dispatch and had them call police straighten it out
Had that shit pulled on me one time,told the officer to get a federal marshall ,no one was going break seal
@@user-xg3jt3oj9v lol. Call the president
14 yrs driving and never had a Inspection during the 72 dot Inspection
CHOCK wheels, not chalk.
Chalk is for blackboards in school.
Chocks stop wheels from rolling.
Thank you for all the information and thank you trucking wins
I love you, MUTHA! You’re our top G.
appreciate you so much!!!!!
I will never unhook a glad hand with air pressure in the lines,have you ever seen the explosion of air whwn those glad hands come apart,thats a safety thing here
A driver got inspected in Missouri, he’s saying make sure you have “Clearing House” account or you will be out of service. Even he said they checked his fridge.
Do you have to be logged in and stuff or just have to have an account?
That driver did wrong the officer has no right to go in a fridge it has to be a just cause that driver needs to go to court and sue for that officer badge
Oh no, they're gonna find my leftover pizza and energy drinks.
Please, if your name pops up as positive then you're OOS.
For 39 yrs I only have had a sleeping bag and a pillow. Been inspected many times all over the usa never heard of this bedding regulation
Same here as for sleeping bag and a pillow for 21 years.
I've known plenty of people that don't sleep under covers at home. I doubt they would have them on a truck.
Just had a Level 1 last month. The most annoying part was the fact that to check the TPV you had to get in and out of the truck with the valves in and the key on (to read the gauge). These stupid new trucks have the horn honking the whole time you're doing this. The inspector isn't too thrilled with this feature either.
well boo hoo. it's not my problem the truck is engineered to go honk honk. i find it annoying on a daily basis, that officer can just piss off if they dont like it.
No, that’s just a specific year of the Cascadia trucks. Some may have a dashboard chime, just like your car does, but the Cascadia is the only semi truck that’s done that. Trust me I’ve driven nearly every manufacturer of truck in the last 5 years, it is in fact only the Cascadia. Never ever ever heard that on ANY other truck made. You need a different truck. DOT officer should allow you to have the door closed with the window rolled down anyhow. I’ve NEVER had to do a roadside in 12 years with an open door.
It is pretty freaking annoying though lol
@@Farrell0208international does that too
I unplugged the city horn, passenger side behind cab airbox. Fmcsa says you are required A functional horn, just one.
Do they want to inspect my 🥜 too and make sure I showered?
😂😂😂😂
Coming soon
Watch out, and you may get an OOS from them! Especially if they check for rust from little use, that's under Boy are u fucked Code Didntdonuffin in fmcsa green book! 😂😂😂
No, but they do inspect your butt hole for proper cleaning and prostate enlargement.
Nice of them for looking out for the health of men
😂😂😂😅
More like the biggest money scam in 24 hrs
No too many mom and pop/ owner operator garbage trucking companies on the road
@@secessionnow4133 so are you saying the mom and pop companies maintenance isn't as good as the mega Carriers
Facts
@@secessionnow4133 are you saying mom and pop don’t maintained there equipment as good as mega carriers
I've heard State police refer to violations as money they were owed they just had to find it.
Alex!!! I think it is the way he is explaining it. Everybody knows when you keep pressing the brake pedal the knob has to pop out when the air pressure gets low. About 60 psi the lights and buzzer sounds, and 20 or so the knob pops out. Unless I have totally missed what he was talking about.
Thank you for the advice. I'm on the road and I'm hoping for the best this next tree days. Good luck to everyone.
Meanwhile near Starke Florida, they have a DOT cop who looks like Elmer Fudd writing violations like "No DOT and MC number displayed" as he is looking directly at a NEW DOOR DECAL that has all that information on it. I'm so sick of theses idiots.
You just film him doing it and the ticket and send the file to Dataq's challenge. They will throw it out. Too many of those they start asking Elmer questions about his competency.
On I-35 going N. I went into a truck scale.
I was carrying paper for " to go" orders, which were huge rolls, but exempt from HOS.
Officer pulls my ELD and I already told him he will see HOS in yellow cuz I was hauling during Pandemic.
I then showed him that cardboard for to go foods was exempted.
I said, You can't give me a ticket for this load though( he said he was gonna give me a ticket) and sleep behind the weigh station to begin my 10 hours.
I went to court with Atty. representing me, all done by Emails.
I paid $250 to the lawyer, and he got ticket completely taken off my record.
The Judge said: Tell her to be good.
Can you imagine that?
Wrong ticket, good Lawyer, good driver, not a bad one.
Sometimes I think men believe women shouldn't be in trucking( Southern thinking).
I have an air shift transmission. When it gets down between 60-70 the transmission becomes inoperable. That’s how I know there is an air problem.
I just got pulled over and told to follow to next exit for a Level 1. Although it was a level 1, it was more like a 3. Yes they went under and checked my brakes but never asked to see my logs or if I had extra logs in case my eld failed.
I got inspected and had practically the same thing happen. Said he was going to do a level 4, yet he performed a level 2 instead.
That's how they did me on a level one
Level 3 is driver only. Level 1 is driver and truck.
Sounds like nm😂
Just. Stay in compliance 🎉🎉 as in just another day on the job
Government way too big now. Shit is ridiculous.
That something that I never check , that a good thing to check, Alex after over 40 years , checking that never came up, but now that going to be check once a day for safety ,your channel is the first and only channel that I know that broadcast the truth,and again I learn something new today, thank you Alex
I'm at home till blitz is over.
Thank you, Alex, for the update. This is really helpful
I hope that by him explaining this is his penance for being a former tyrant.
Hell yess! Good video man ! Get this guy back on! I was hooked up in Michigan for my legal handgun
Bc I didn’t tell him since he jumped up on my grill like a madman and didn’t let me talk
Then he asked if there was weapons and I said yeah my Glock, pulled me out flipped the whole rig upside down and slapped with a felony illegal firearm spent the night in jail and charges were dropped
Now that’s on DOT notes or something bc they ask for consent to search my truck every time I deal with them
If you are hauling DOD or Hard liquor, with a bill of lading stamped EXEMPT, no DOT, State,County or local police can open your trailer doors. They must have a Federal Marshall on site approving load inspection.
Also when contracting to DOD you can drive right past the scales for some companies. AAFES has the best deal of all companies. They have government tags on truck and trailer.
At yellow we had papers to haul liquor.
I moved a trailer full of BEER . BILL said 'paper packing product.' TOO many 😢 cry babies. If you're legal and need to be, no worries.
Oh my God😂😂😂😂. You otr drivers really are the most stupid people in this world. No wonder you smelly losers get treated the way you do. A U.S . Marshals job is for fugitive recovery only. Try requesting one next time and see how that works out.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Okay so who’s paying us for the labor during this inspection and when did it become law to help officers with an investigation.
How about unhook the 2 airhoses.THEN push in parking brake and trailer air supply button.
EXTREMLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION....GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Yes. That's similar to the "button test" in CDL school. We are late comers as of November 23. We're not 'old school' Button should pop after 60psi warning light no less than 20psi.
It is nice to see the ex officer on the show. I want you guys all the time we are towing company basically getting our heavy duty tow truck ready we always watch a show to get updates. Thank you for all the things that you put out there all those some of the stuff does not pertain to us but good information.
From this comment section I can clearly see that we have a lot of unprofessional drivers on the roads today. Your equipment is your responsibility, so you should want everything to be on point correct? We aren't driving our personal vehicles around, we're driving potentially a 40 ton vehicle that can hurt a lot of people if not properly maintained, so we should be doing daily inspections ourselves to ensure that our equipment, which we are responsible for, is safe to be on the roads. Get your stuff together drivers and be the professional that you profess to be.
Very good info Alex, 👍🏼🚚
*A SHAME HOW THEY TREAT 🚚 DRIVER'S LIKE CRIMINALS*
Lotta driver are bums let face it . They ruin it for the rest of us
I'm starting my first trucking job on monday after graduating from truck driving school. Some of this ive never even heard of before. Thank you for the information!
Was pulled over in Illinois for a headlights being out. They asked if they could inspect the inside of my truck. I said yes . When they saw my wife in the sleeper birth, they cussed and let me go. What did that mean?
Either they wouldn’t have touched her with a 10 meter cattle prod or they were jealous you get to tap it. Depends
They saw her beaver.
I got a level one last night 5/14/24 while it was poring down raining. My break lights were not working on trl. Luckily, DOT officer allowed me to find and fix the problem. (It was a fuse), i also had exspired trailer inspection, and was doing 5 over the speed limit. I was blessed and got no tickets or violations, just a warning. The entire inspection lasted 2:46 mins. Make sure your 100% in compliance on everything the officer who got me left no stone unturned.
In canada to get your CDL(class 1) you have to do a 6.5 hour air brake course memorize the steps show an examinor you know how to do it by memory.
You also have to explain to the examinor the steps and what number the warning light will come on(60psi), what psi the buttons will pop(60-40psi for the trailer supply, and 40-25psi for the tractor, then you do a build up test from 50-90 psi and make sure it gets to 90 before 3 minutes, then make sure the governor cuts off at 125-135 and tell the examinor that range. You have to memorize each number and each step in order or you will fail the practical exam.
It takes 15 minutes at the maximum Everyone should be doing it every day before driving anywhere.
You also have to show the driving test examinor that you remember how to do it as the last step of the pre-trip before you head out on the road. Its your brakes we are talking about, which I think is one of the most important things to inspect besides your load being secured.
If you check anything on your pre-trip do your full air break check from chocking your tires to adjusting your slack adjusters.
It's the same in the USA As of this year
@@MaRrepr00 It boggles my mind how alot of drivers don't do them here. I asked one of my buddies while I was training when the last time he drained his tank and did a air brake check, and he said never. Hes been driving since 2016 or 2018 I think
Here in Texas the air brake test is a normal, every time I’ve been inspected they do that exact test . Tires , oil leaks , wiper fluid level and the amount of fluid that sprays on the window . Be safe out there drivers.
The tractor protection valve is easy to test, and easy to fix. Inside there's springs and "O"-rings that get gummed up and the valve sticks pushed in. When you push in the red valve, the air pressure holds it in against a spring. When the air pressure drops to the point where the spring is stronger, the valve pops out. If the "O"-rings inside the valve are not kept lubed, it will resist the pressure of the spring and either let the air pressure get too low or not pop out at all. If you are bobtailing, you can check it using an extra gladhand that's set up for airing your tires.
i 100% believe it, my company sent me to take a random drug & breathalyzer test today before heading out from hometime
If you are able to work on your feet and thinking of going to truck driver school change your plan and check out welding school. You're welcome.
Truck driving is not what it used to be
I hear plumbers are making good money.
Welding don't pay shit.
Thank you for the information 👍🏾
When I took my test over 25 years ago we fan down the brakes with the truck off. Is that not the same thing as removing the air lines and possibly someone getting injured!
Let the DOT officer pull the airlines and have something fly in their eye!
I’ll be honest I work for the state of Georgia as a commercial cdl instructor, when I got my cdls back in 2014 we were actually doing this. Most drivers don’t know what it’s for. It’s on our test that every driver know this.
Tennessee dot love to search the inside of ur truck. 4 times in 35years. And every time from the 1st time to the last time their excuse was my eyes looked watery. Followed with a do I have a allergy thing going on. They all have that paged on how to screw with a driver memorized. I'm on vacation this week 😊
I went jail because of CDL not being valid because my sr22 DMV insurance. and was pulled in at the scale in south Dakota. ended up in federal prison for 5 years for a hand gun.
😮!?
Where did the hand gun come from?
Felon with a firearm.
No comment
Oh wow
Great information thanks God bless you all
I was grandfathered into the CDL from a commercial operator’s license back in the “70s” I never knew a thing about the Tractor Protection Valve.
In short that airline protection valve check is just to see if both of your brake knobs pop up. Similar to that sale test.
I'm wondering how many will listen to this instead of doing their homework..
That brings a whole new meaning to the lemon law.
Why aren't they pumping their brakes down to check the tractor protection valve🤔
Good call out.
They want to make sure you can sue if you get hit by the airlines when you pull them off
Thank you
You're welcome
I never worry about inspections....keep my truck clean, organized, keep a positive attitude....never a problem. Let's face it..... A lot of trucks/drivers I see shouldn't even be on the road. Some probably get harassed but that comes from a bad attitude from the start.
In Canada they will strip inside your truck if they choose.I’m a female and seen my monthly supply and asked what that was for
London ky checks the protection valve anytime they do an inspection
That’s no joke about searching your own truck for anything that shouldn’t be there. At Gordon Trucking I was about to seat a truck and found an orange syringe cap under the mattress. Nope….. refused that truck, what else was in there?
My Grand dad used to do this all the time when I was a kid. I never knew why but now I know he was just following the law. And all of this was in the 1980s
I have been doing this for 15 years and was taught to check this when getting my cdl. You can set the tractor brake and release trailer and dose the same thing
Time to stop running behind money, and stop everything, starve the people, tell the news when asked why, you did and would they allow this happening as citizens. Only united can we make a difference.
One year on an inspection blitz, I got checked six times in a day.
i drive milk tanker i have only been inspected twice since i started hauling milk in 2017. im hoping to not be bothered tomorrow, i have better things to do then deal with their harassment. they generally tend to give milk haulers more of a pass then a big carrier. i know they are just revenue agents.
Yeah okkkkkk😂
I got pulled in 3 times by the same cop…
@@mattmurphy8288 righttttt
Thank you for this info💯👍💪
These inspections are NOT about public safety. They are about REVENUE. It's clearly the case in Ohio when a driver receives an inspection while in a rest area on their 10 hour break????
We did the brake check during CDL school. That DOT man is cool 😎
I recommend that you put your linens and a pillow in the front passenger seat to show that you have them for use when you need them. And the measurements can be done from the outside.
Thank you for helping us
I did the air brake test when getting my CDL pre trip test in CA for DMV...I clean out the truck everytime my company switches me off.
If your bunk curtains are closed, your linens , blankets and pillows are not in plain view
Your triangles aren't in plain view, yet they can inspect them wherever they are.
@@randgrithr7387 the triangles should be in the side boxes which ARE able to be inspected by cops
Ive had them remove the red but never the blue.. and they had me get out and do it.. i guess they are hammering this TPV home
Most automatic trucks won’t even shift into gear so you can go if the psi is under 100. My international won’t go into gear until I have 100PSI
All it is is ine big money grab
Please the event is advertised months in advance. If you're dumb enough to not do your job and ensure your ducks are in a row? Then here's your sign.
Thats exactly what it is.
@@rswope35 there's thousands of drivers/vehicles that pass with flying colors. If your logging practices are iffy, your CDL has issues, you're in the D & A Clearinghouse, have drugs or alcohol in the truck, or the vehicle isn't taken care of then you're subject to violations. If the violations are severe enough? There may be penalties or an OOS. 😉
Thank you both!
The small front tank on these new 2024 freightliners have a little bleeder nipple on the front of the tank so if you hit anything like a tarp animal anything it bust it right off and you lose 100% air pressure within like two3 seconds, but they don’t say nothing to Freightliner about that And the tractor protection valve will not save you from that situation because it is the tank that it drains that that valve should keep protected from being drained
I still carry a new white sheet in my cab. Buddy got a fine in New Mexico 20 years ago for not having a white sheet in case if accidents.
And I carry multiple 1st aid kits, and don't forget your hazmat book WITHIN REACH if you have hazmat this week.
I was told to not help them with inspection
Respect goes a long way with d o t. Even if they are having a bad day,if you respect them,( don't fear them), usually they will give you some slack.
I want to make sure I got this straight, they are going to force me to remove air lines that are under 125 psi of pressure? With no face shield or hearing protection? This sounds like they are liable when I get injured. Make sure they have their body cam activated!
Normally they have you release your brakes in the cab & then they have you press the brake pedal over & over until the protection valve pops
@@ufattruckeryeah he made it sound way too fancy lmao. Its a typical brake test. Nothing too special about it
The compressor puts that much pressure in the tank and the valves are designed to send the air where it needs to go. Because if that much pressure was in that airline all at once it would blow the hose. So, no. There is not 125 pounds of pressure on that one glad hand when you take it off. Just remove it slowly and you won’t hurt yourself.
I'm either refusing or getting rich. Not sure what mood I will be in.
I guess you are new on the trucking industry
Great information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Plan alternative routes bypass scales and avoid them like the plague
I bypass the Kingman scale everyday 😂😂😂 they open at 7am and I leave early so I miss them.
I’m sure they are on the back roads during this time just waiting for you
@jemhadar5029 I'm dedicated at night for 6 years I always take same alternative routes never seen a random one at night on side roads
@@Gabriel-hl9oe i did same thing for many years. Never saw a cop. Then one day there was an accident. Fire truck and cop care there directing traffic. Cop walked up to my window and what do you think the first thing he asked me was? What are you doing on this road? Follow me to scale
@jemhadar5029 yea it's a risk but it's better than willingly going into the scale catch me if you can either way I drive legally and everything in order I just avoid the inconvenience of getting pulled in
I had a cop I'm Missisipy put me our of service for the tractor protection valve
The trailer air pressure gauge popped out at above 20 psi,he made me use my brake pedal to bleed the air pressure, long story short I filed a data Q and they got that out of service off my safety records.
