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.
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.
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.
elitedata obviously you don’t know. Otherwise you’ll have known that sounds nothing like gun shots. There’s no concussions following the shots. They aren’t 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 you’re ignorant and disconnected from the real world.
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!
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.
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
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. 🤷🏽♂️
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 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.
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.
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...
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 ✌🏻️
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 CAN’T 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.
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.
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.
I served in the Marine Corps & did a tour on the drill field. One of my recruits is a Kansas D.O.T. trooper. We met last summer near Cheney. The shoe was on the other foot, but he didn't inspect me. We had some coffee & shared sea stories.
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
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
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 .
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 😂😂 there has been maybe 3 officers who held it and went through it but the rest want the email sent to them.
Is a good time to put some rice and scallions in the slow cooker for a snack later LOL. Invite the cop into eat, or for a cup of coffee, is what I used to do LOL. I never left with out a big thermos of coffee and spare cups.
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.
yeah,that 72 hour of nationwide bs is a good time to be off duty. this cop was just taking a break with this guy. they will find something wrong if they want,its totally a $$$$$ thing.
Lil Blockchain Very, very few might make that. I have family that work in this area of law enforcement in Colorado and Nebraska and I can tell you for a fact, they make around $60-$70K and have been doing it for more than 15 years each.

You haven't seen how willy lump lump handles his. Or should I say handled may he rip.
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 “old timer”...
I love those level 1 DOT inspection, they are usually fast and easy. Stay safe out there and God Bless You! Nice vlog!
That was a level 3 inspection not level one
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.
Level 1 is full inspection with brakes
Thats How I Am With DOT Officers Always Friendly And Cooperative
company my grandad drove for you had to have your own rig but every time you passed a roadside or scale dot stop they would give you a bonus.
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.
Respectful driver and inspector. Well done gentlemen!
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.
Been watching your vids with interest JBG. I drive for ASDA/Wal*Mart in the UK. I have been driving trucks for 51 years now. 23 years for ASDA.
He was a nice guy, with all the gun shots it sounded like you were on the southside of Chicago.
Paul Wicklund it was a swift driver shooting his mouth off hahaha i think it was an impact wrenge
i know what firearms sound like and it sure sounds like theres a firing range not far from there - that didnt sound like an impact wrench to me
Paul Wicklund
Or Southside San Antonio 😂
BILLY BOBCAT JR I'm curious when race was brought up? I read gun shots and Chicago, never anything about race besides what you wrote?
elitedata obviously you don’t know. Otherwise you’ll have known that sounds nothing like gun shots. There’s no concussions following the shots. They aren’t echoing the slightest bit.

Your conversation with DOT officer gives us a knowledge
This is the most exciting part ✌ thank you!
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.
That is the one thing I don't miss about driving big rigs

these videos of real life on the road are very valuable. Routine for you, but new for us. Thanks
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..
This officer was great. Driver did a great job as well.
Nice to see how calm you stayed that does so much good in the trucking world. Thanks for keeping our country’s well stocked. Stay safe

Well, that DOT guy seemed decent. Glad everything was ok, JBG.
Man you should tell that cop that he was on camera. He is a very good person. God bless him and you my follow driver.
Said Adan don’t tell that man what to do
Cops know they can be recorded in official capacity, they are told this.
"So where's a good place to park?". Um, the Pilot Flying J at the next exit. Most certainly not here. haha!
Hello JBG, I’m from China ,thank you so much to show me that’s your real life,I like trucks
Thanks for filming & sharing the experience! Glad all went well! Be safe!
All truck now MUST have manual for electronic log book which is installed in your truck.

Registration and permits, Licensing and qualifications.
most KHP officers are very polite and do a very fine job! alot of them were trained by highway jack!!
Woah, that’s awesome, that officer lives in the same town as me, I know him. Little world!
So glad that I never have to go through this again, since I now run 3rd shift. I have never seen a weigh station open at night
There is a difference between "rules" and "Common Law", many times law enforcement get the two mixed up. Some are discretionary and flexible.
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.

As soon as I saw you didn't have a sticker on the windshield I knew you were getting pulled in. Hahaha
Minel Fazlic I've NEVER had a sticker. I seldom get pulled in.
I used to print off stickers so most of the time I'd get waved passed lol.
they do this vermont sometimes but not to this extent. Also HOLY CRAP there is a freightliner cabover!!! nice catch!
It's All About Revenue & Control

Its all about control and blaming the drivers when it was the trucking companies and brokers that were running drivers ragged.

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
Should this be logged as parked up breaks?
@@martintheiss4038 Log it as your break
This is hartchel john.. Verry nice video.. I am a driver also john but her in philippines..
Your first mistake was logging out off duty in an inspection.. you have to stay on duty in any dot inspection
why ?
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
@@robyjessee4672 ok thanks for the reply without any bullshit like use your brains etc have a good one.
As well you stay on duty for any meetings at the yard as well as inspections

It sounds like gun shots in the background. Are truck drivers getting shot if they don’t pass inspection lol 😂?!
Only the Russian ones and the drivers that poop through a hole in the floor. giggity
Highway patrol has a gun range behind this scale house.
international trying to start
Lol that's what I was thinking!!
You're right it sounds like Red Khmer in Cambodia when they executed the civilians during the civil war

Cops and robbers bud. I always give state patrol thee hardest of times. I'm just tryna get my monies worth ya know?

I'm no ones slave. Inspect away. I'm not helping. PERIOD.
Best answer. Unless officer asks for information or assistance don't interrupt

This officer will school very courteous and not drunk with power
You know I am glad you did this I have always wanted to know what they did

When you are inspected, you do not go off duty.
Easy to understand and good training for new drivers 👍👍
I just went through there myself, that scale house is one of the worst...

You don't go OFF DUTY for a DOT inspection. You have to log it as an inspection. That wrong duty status could be a fine.

That is a top notch police officer if they were all like that we wouldn’t have any problems...
yeah,that 72 hour of nationwide bs is a good time to be off duty. this cop was just taking a break with this guy. they will find something wrong if they want,its totally a $$$$$ thing.
The Cops dont make the money, they could care less about that
Lil Blockchain Very, very few might make that. I have family that work in this area of law enforcement in Colorado and Nebraska and I can tell you for a fact, they make around $60-$70K and have been doing it for more than 15 years each.
Hi john.. Verry nice video..
You're supposed to log an inspection on duty.
Roger that...."on duty not driving"
Both sides were very professional.
these inspections are absolutely necessary, we as drivers need to choke up and accept it..as these inspections may save out lives one day.
Very professional officer!
