Wow, as if truck drivers don't have enough to deal with then you have to deal with this inspector trying to find anything to write you up on. I know these DOT inspections happen all over the country but it seems like California is the worst.
When I first started to watch this I asked Doc what do they do in a DOT stop .. " Try to find something wrong and if they cant find anything wrong they will make up something wrong with it..".. old school trucker lol
Talking about nerve wrecking, this is like being book for DUI!! I have pass many times through this scale and luckily never been in the DOT. But no worries Johnny blue is in good shape, along with newer trailer. With flying colors. Only thing blue is dirty HaHaHa!! Good to go Johnny be safe.
Driver: "But Officer, you've been searching for two hours..." Oficer: "Just calm down and be patient driver. We'll find something wrong eventually." Typically how it works
Here in the UK we don't carry things like vehicle registration or insurance documentation. Purely because all the information can be checked via a PNC check which is a police database system , so all they do is type in the trucks licence plate details and the information is their at their fingertips. ie insurance m.o.t road tax etc . And yes we get pulled over by an organisation called VOSA which is basically what is known to you as the DOT . As for drivers hours they can download your digital tachograph card and go back 28+ days and any serious infringements results in fines or even loss of drivers license and that in turn also affects the company's goods vehicle operator's license as well ..
I wish the authorities did inspections like that on passenger cars. Some of them are wrecks and should be removed from the road for sake of their drivers and safety of others.
+darryl diggins NO, I don't get your point. I thought this was a free country. Not everyone has the means to buy a the perfect vehicle that you would approve of. Your belief of a proper vehicle might be different than the next guy's. I think were are policed enough in today's world. I don't need what you believe is the correct way, forced upon me. Just as you don't want my beliefs forced upon you. Then again we could pay some more taxes and have someone police this conversation, just to make sure it is approved. I idea of imposing a fine(money) on people that don't have enough money to buy a vehicle of your standard, is off base. In my opinion of coarse. I just don't want another 1-3% removed from my check to pay for another policing agency.
And also our trucks and trailers have to be inspected every 6weeks by laws and maintenance records to show this , also a M.O.T test every year as well . And if it fails its a black mark on the operator's licence also .
JBG~ What did they find wrong for sitting an hour worrying that they would find something & they did too, but what was so important to them or to concern them about of Blue? I thought she 's in great shape with all the care she been getting from her owners?! What was the BIG Ideal for them to hold you up? Tell us we're all on suspence in what it was that was soooo important for them to NOT PASS You / Blue?!!!! GOD Bless you / Blue Happy Trails & Safe travels my friend!!
wow fancy inspection lanes for California never seen indoor ones guess they actually work 24/7 unlike other states that actually work regular hours. they don't even let you get out whats up with that.
+B Nack You can get air disk brakes. You clearly dont own or drive truck because theyre actually a pain in the ass to work on when rotors need replacement. Plus they're extremely expensive to repair opposed to drum brakes which are also tried and true. Both systems use a brake chamber system, so when the DOT stops you they check brake stroke on both disk and drums. No getting away from DOT or MTO
The Supreme Court ruled in 1997 that the federal government can not commandeer local or state officers to enforce a regulatory program. More to the point state troopers need to start doing the job the state in which they are employed to do state traffic laws!!!!! No turn signal because some people seam to think they can play with their fucking cell phone doing 85 mph.
looks like youve had one or two inspection like this before. i rememer you said the other day you didnt have one with Blue at all though. Thats some strange timing...
john do you have to message your DM immediately yea 46 minutes of driving time you lose since they pulled you in. you could have driven 40 to 50 miles in that amount of time.
Hope you had the brakes released while pushing on the brake pedal , don't ever push on the pedal while the brakes are locked down , because it puts extremely to much pressure on the brake shoes and drums ,!
I hope she passes also LOL....The freaky thing is I looked at the clock on the wall in the inspection station and the one on my computer and I am watching this at the exact same time you are going through this only over a year later. ROFLMAO FREAKY!!!! lol
Oh boy, sure hate it that they had ya on this one,, cause that stinkin state is gonna nail ya for something if they can & take up all your time..I always hated runnin that state cause its the worse one of all...at the time I was still runnin OTR , their speed limits for trucks was 55 & ya better not get caught runnin 56 either..I did run 65 & 70 out across the desert from Barstow to Needles, but was scared stiff ever time ,but I was not the only one...& all us drivers used the CBs back then to kinda keep up with where the bears were...anyway,I knew they would nail ya for something..now gotta go to the next video & see what it was......hope it didn't cost ya a bunch of money...
What the heck are all you east coasters afraid of, I hate to cross the scales behind a J B Hunt,Swift,or one from the east, they creep up to the shack like they are gonna get ambushed you can damn near see the cab a shaken the sign(depending on where you are at says maintain 35mph and they will damn near stop every time,maintain3mph or 5mph they are gonna stop every time so what is it that you are afraid of???

Remind them of the oath they took to uphold the constitution and the 5th is a constitutional right. Go check your own laws and it’s up to you brother, I’m just giving and outside opinion and food for thought
If u don't assist, get ur wallet out. Cuz they're gonna nail ur arse to the wall with violations. Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it turns out for u!

I know truck drivers that won't even go into California, remember folks this is costing you money at the supermarkets.
Drake oh yes it is
Thank you very much, I'm a new driver and your videos is very important and helpful.
Just me.. Bureaucrats, bureaucrats with badges and bureaucrats with badges and guns... Oh my. Kalifornia.

Excellent idea. If you can't afford a safe car, get your butt on the bus where you belong.
I got pulled in twice in 1 month.....I was just as nervous as u both times....NOT going to Cali 4 awhile.
I had butterflies just watching this! I never knew they had indoor inspection like this .
John the more nervous you look, the more they think you are hiding something. Stay calm. What prevented you from passing, John? Peace ✌🏻️
And also our trucks and trailers have to be inspected every 6weeks by laws and maintenance records to show this , also a M.O.T test every year as well . And if it fails its a black mark on the operator's licence also .
I have to drive that pass every day like driving in L>A> anymore
she's a good truck blue will pass the test
travel lady. has you trackers in my prayers all ways
ours are 6mths apart(cof) some older trucks are rusty and need brakes done all for safety-go well concrete cowboy

Hi John I'm watching from Westminster MD
OMG what patient you have :-)
I hope everything goes okay through the through the inspection the fingers are crossed
Company has a bad score with DOT, most likely
Not bad for being a 25 min. inspection, not including the wait time, of course
He didn't tell us what he got nailed on. But that's cali for you .....
what did he find wrong?
Soooo....what did he find?
wow fancy inspection lanes for California never seen indoor ones guess they actually work 24/7 unlike other states that actually work regular hours. they don't even let you get out whats up with that.
That is why they should spec those trucks with disk brakes. Much less to worry about.
+B Nack You can get air disk brakes. You clearly dont own or drive truck because theyre actually a pain in the ass to work on when rotors need replacement. Plus they're extremely expensive to repair opposed to drum brakes which are also tried and true. Both systems use a brake chamber system, so when the DOT stops you they check brake stroke on both disk and drums. No getting away from DOT or MTO
+Colin A i actually do drive, but not with disks. From all the info available disk is the way to go. But to each their own.
Really feel for you sat there .Awful situation.
all day long

Was this in Los Angeles John?
Sorry I don’t remember
I tried doing this kind of work but it’s not for me
What did they fail you for ?
hotty69792000 probably because he’s not paying attention to the DOT officer! He’s fumbling with paper & etc.
Holy Moly 🤦🏻♂️
Then he’s going to try to say you’re hindering him and yada yada but if you read the description you don’t have to assist
Can I ask what it is DOT? Some technical inspection?
saruman152 Department of Transportation

DOT = Department of Transportation

"so far this is 46 minutes" Cant you go off duty?
It is good that WEL has new equipment.
DOT inspections are considered on-duty, so negative.
Oliver Shultz last inspection i had took two hours.
He better not go off duty during a DOT inspection! I did see in one of his videos he went to off duty time during a DOT that’s a no no!
So you’re about to wave your 5th amendment and self incrimination 6:16
Sorry
He just acts suspicious, even tho he hasn’t done anything, please get some people skills the social awkwardness makes them look harder good luck
Thank you so much 😊
Winkler Manitoba Canada you have to be good time for the beautiful day today at work y you have two phones in the world peace ✌️ Winkler Manitoba Canada beautiful house 🏡 you come up don't have any questions please feel you have two more days driving to the next week to see you then and I will have to be good to hear about your family and friends come and join in the world peace ✌️ Winkler Manitoba Canada hey driver good I'll buy you come to Canada some days I want to see you come come say hi to us in Canada come on and driving I want to come see you you can I come for ride Sunday with you that's your boss honey long hours and tell that?

air leak
There’s no law that says you have to assist in the inspection, hence self incrimination
But they will try to intimidate you
Remind them of the oath they took to uphold the constitution and the 5th is a constitutional right. Go check your own laws and it’s up to you brother, I’m just giving and outside opinion and food for thought
@Gilles Carpentier I’ve seen videos of driver refuse to help incriminate himself and assist in inspection
If u don't assist, get ur wallet out. Cuz they're gonna nail ur arse to the wall with violations. Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it turns out for u!
Did anyone else noticed that he pulled out of the bay without ever looking in the right mirror?
Boycott California.
Why even being nervous? any infraction with the truck will be send to the company you work for.
The driver is responsible. His license on the line.
Correct. Points are assigned to both the company AND the driver when mechanical defects are found.
+Supraking12 Also, they can put you out of service (depending), which means loss of money until repairs are made
Why does this guy put his Paypal acct email in his description? Its a bit odd. Is he looking for donations...Bizarre..
