- FHP Trooper Bobby Simmons and FHP Trooper John Sewell inspect several brake components on tractor-trailers ahead of the June 4-6 Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance International Roadcheck blitz. The top three out-of-service violations for last year’s blitz were for brake systems (28.4 percent), tires and wheels (19.1 percent) and brake adjustment (16.3 percent).

A driver can check only so much on a daily Pre Trip Inspection, companies are squeezing you for every second, neglecting proper intervals of maintenance, a driver complaint is never heard, you hook up to so many different trailers and change so many trucks it's just not realistic to be able to inspect everything to this level, but you sure do sign your name and you sure do pay the fines and you sure have a record on your CVOR and you sure can't get a good job after someone elses neglect costs a driver dearly. Fellow drivers will understand this. This DOT officers should visit Trucking company fleet yards and inspect trucks before the driver sits in it and write tickets to the company.
DOT does check company yards and fleet, area vehicle inspectors do that job, they also check all inspection facilities( companies which do annual inspections , car dealers etc. )
@@alexk5442 It's not enough. I think it should be law that every trucking company (operating a certain amount of trucks) should be required to staff an FMCSA certified inspector who can clear road vehicles, and do away with field inspections. They're going to have to do this eventually anyway if completely autonomous trucks are to become a reality.
Amen brother!! AMEN 👏
@@davidjolley2468 great comment too 😎👍
@@davidjolley2468 There should also be a differentiation between driver/operator level inspection, vs maintenance level.
CVE Trooper Simmons pulled me over a few months ago in Lynn Haven, FL. He's a very nice guy who was very informative and cares more about the education and saftey of drivers on our roadways than trying to bust people. He's definitely not out to get people he just wants everyone to be safe.
Every truck stop needs a pit like this so truckers can actually do a post trip inspection and find some of those pesky things they skip on pre-trips. I'm thorough on my pretrips but people look at me weirdly. I have pulled so many bad trailers that got fixed cause I'm the one who took the time to report it and bring it to the shop.
I'm not a trucker and I don't play one on TV but I did learn a lot about the air brake system on my motorhome. Thanks.
Nothing against rv people per say but as a driver it makes me stupid happy seeing you all learn things like this a little brake check here and there can save your life in the long run check those pads and drums, the lines and proper adjustment/operation. I don't know how they haven't made a license requirement or at least a general knowledge test for some of the one's that are as big as my truck. Some people shouldn't be behind the wheel of one of those.
No wonder USA is short on truck drivers , who wants this head ache.
Right by some cop who knows nothing about cars
@@johnnybeddi547 but he sure knows his stuff on cmv's. The brake chamber leak....that's a biggie. Good catch on his part. Do u know what happens when that chamber blows out completely and fails? The wheel locks up
Vere are your papers?
Do you want every truck to be a piece of junk weighing over 26k lbs just rolling down the highway
Damn straight!
Awesome informative video! I really appreciate walkthroughs like this, makes a big difference seeing from a pit view.
All of this show the power of cooperate America.
good information excellent video
Sometimes I go around Sneads if the coppers are present on the trucker path app. Easy go around.
I hear the brake chamber leaking money from the drivers wallet.
So we truckers have to pretty much inspect the rig exactly how officer piggy did here ??? Damn we wouldnt get shit done but the inspection .
Yeah bruh, mandated safety standards are hella totalitarianistic *eye roll* that being said: the FMCSA point system is inherently flawed, in that, points are more detrimental to an operator, than they are to the company. Essentially: that is our resume, but shippers don't ask to see the company's CSA score before hiring them.
But seriously dude... "officer piggy"?
One person or the driver alone can’t do proper inspection,as officer being helped.
He's actually a good dot officer I've met him several times and he's definitely not one of the asshole dots
Life is fair said no one ever!
This officer is checking underneath this rusty truck but never loses his gunshots just in case the poor driver started losing his patience, good luck with this DOT officer’s
Thank you FDOT for allowing the video… as a new driver it’s very helpful to know what to expect and reminders of what to look for. I won’t say I won’t be nervous when or if I get an inspection.
How do they determine what level inspection will be performed?
It's random.
All about the money I bet if we inspected there cars they can't even pass a dot
Out of service in the last 20 secounds of the video....yup they always find something. Too much touching...lol
It's so regular to him he didnt even realize how that'd look 😂
Those air leaks he found....biggies. one on an air tank and the other on a brake chamber. Yeah, those need addressed right away. He probably saved some lives by finding those!
@@kyleparker733 loud as it was whistling how fome the driver didn't hear it walking by..?
@@geraldbraxton2555 the truck running while doing pretrip with the compressor kicked on. And that's even if he did a pretrip. Judging by his shoe apparel, house slippers, doubt very seriously he did a pretrip
@@geraldbraxton2555 You would only hear it if the brakes were depressed.
B R U H Do you know how wonderful it is to learn this stuff when we're not the ones being inspected? 10/10 will watch every one of your videos. Thank you guys for making this content.
Bro if you a truck driver and don’t know the parts on your truck please turn in your CDL NOW😤
@@bmindful you really think CDL courses cover everything they'll write up on a level 3 inspection? You're in for a rude awakening my dude. And if you're a diesel mechanic, great; the rest of us aren't.
@@davidjolley2468 did u not read what I said or should I repeat myself 😤
@@bmindful I read what you said, but "the parts on your truck" isn't exactly eloquent
@@davidjolley2468 if u read & understand then why are u asking me about a cdl course?
Thanks I learned today it's very Educational..
Those aren't air leaks. Those are manual debris disbursers.
This was a great video. Thank you for sharing!!!
Most company’s won’t fix anything till they get a ticket
Very helpful, thanks! You keep companies in line, and by doing that you save trucker lives.
As well as motoring public lives too!
Thanks DOT. What a beautiful inspection method is in Place at America on Commercial!
It's very essential for the Active safety systems to be within limits to avoid any fatal incidences.
It's very helpful and thanks for uploading video on web!
How come not a single state does random vehicle inspections on cars? They dont seem to worry about a loaded mini-van full of kids running on bald tyres.
I noticed the driver was wearing house slippers which is what I believe to be warranted for a citation or violation. And I see it @ every truck stop.
Or flip flops. This new generation of drivers is horrible
@@kyleparker733
I’m 18 months driving and I feel the same. Looks ridiculous seeing drivers come out of their trucks in flip flops. So it’s not a new generation thing, even old school do it.
DOT got real excited there at the end, money!
I read this comment as the video was playing and looked for the “excitement”. Didn’t hear any. DOT has to do a certain number of inspections a month (by state policy). They don’t get paid any extra to inspect nasty trucks and find citations. In fact, admittingly an inspector said on Mother Truckers channel they often pull over nice clean newer trucks to simply “check the block” and turn in an inspection. Citations are not bonus points.
@@dansvlogtrucking yeah ok Danny Boy 😒 let you tell it..
@@bmindful So I make a comment, I recite the source for which you could do your own research and you’re too full of yourself to consider it, you just want to come up with some silly comment in an attempt to discount what I am repeating from a DOT inspector on camera. And we wonder why there is so much hate and disgust in this world.
Thanks for this video! And this go for those cheap companies! Whom don’t like spend money on their truck! This not a joke when DOT pull you for a inspection!! No way José!!!!!! Thanks you guys for this information!!👍👍👍
This is so helpful to new drivers
I guess Florida dot don’t believe in safety glasses.
I see! You're one of those people!
hilarious
it a great source of information for us old boys. keep up dated i still use manual slack adjuster and wedge brake on the front .it nice to see what new .thanks
You want to inspect me? Have fun I'm gonna go have a Coke
Thank you! Very informative video.
It's amazing how much goes into Transportation. Though it would be nice to see real life defective equipment. To better understand the importance of maintenance. Testing...
U just seen real life defective equipment in the last 20 seconds of the video
Somethings up with the back if the brakes are worn that unevenly, check and see if the slack ajuster is working properly.
Not necessarily. He could of blown a hub seal and soaked the linings with oil. Once they're wet, they need to be replaced.
@@davidkrouse6904 from the looks of it, should have done the other side as well. When it comes to brakes and suspension, what u do to one side u do to the other
Imagine if every driver did an inspection like this nobody would ever leave the yard in the morning.. I don’t disagree with it being up to code but damn..
This just look like an extortion system. As they say, you can take a brand new truck of the lot and these guys will fail it.
Wow very helpful great information! Thanks
THAT IS THE INCORRECT WAY TO TEST A TRACTOR PROTECTION VALVE.
D.O.C.V. dependent of commercial vehicles is what It should be called or just road pirates
If only there was more pits a trucker could pull onto on there own to get a better visual underneath
I once worked for a company that would never get any of the work orders done on the truck/trailer, but then get pissy when I wouldn’t drive it til it was complete.
Thanks sir. You save my day
which company policy allows their driver to roll up on the scale and make a documentary inspection...
I can’t wait to get out of trucking. Anyway, this officer 👮♂️ should lay off the coffee and doughnuts 🍩
Cops make everything worse jesus christ
He started frothing at the mouth when he heard the air leak there.
Is there any reason companoes cannot provide these platforms for drivers in their terminals? Would make the pretrip more thorough for the driver to find anything out of place if they ain't crawling but standing below the trailer an cab
I'm hoping the government has legislation to help truckers from hwy patrol harassment!
I wish never to meet this inspector on the road...
They all the same.
They sure do go deep on you. They don't stop until they reach the back of your teeth.
Yessir, balls deep
I would rather then fine you than you kill someone
just go work at a truck stop lol this is crazy what do we get annual inspections for? we should have yall do it so there wont be any bs if one says theres an issue
Well since a a lot can go wrong within a years time your comment is invalid.
My question is as owner operator.. Why must I help you.. Should I can get a ticket and pay... I will not stop you from the specs the truck.. I believe it falls under the 5th amendment . Of self incrimination.... Have a great day
Good info, thanks
Is abs a out of service?
Where I work almost every trailer I pull the abs light is on.
Well I learnt a few things on this video!!!!!
the leaking brake chamber at 8:23 is that okay ? does the brake chamber need to be replaced ? and did this driver get a ticket for this ? thanks !
I need a pit like this
Very good video.
Have any of you dot cops ever driven a truck
Details... Can't see details being referenced. Camera not close enough, not enough light, no description of what is being measured/inspected (e.g., from specifically where, to specifically where).
I just wonder how many times he has needed his weapon?
How about disc breaks my truck has disc and you can't see anything without removing the weel
FYI: mount a GoPro on a helmet and you can get better shot than camera man.... Reg type 30 as compared to a Long stroke type 30.... how are students supposed to know this if they don't see the difference...? Is the busted diaphragm an out of service?
an audible air leak is enough .
It absolutely is 💯 %
Did he meant saying 1/4 one quarter of an inch on break? Any one I'm really confused 😕🤔.
Awesome!!
I would not pull the glad hand off id make the inspecter do it himself the presure release is unsafe
You are required to do it so good luck with telling an officer "you do it "
@@alexk5442 no you dont have to help him I've got pulled in the scale many time and refuse to help them you do not have to help I've driven truck since 1973 and never help them
@@dewaynemiguel3349 MVAR , div 5.05 check it out. You are required to help. You refuse and officer can just walk away from your truck and tell you " you are OOS till l complete i nspection" he has more time than you. I ' ve seen it before.
@@alexk5442 pulling off a pressurized glad hand is a safty issue and no officer can make you place yourself in a unsafe situation I've went through this and won if they find a defect they will cited you,helping them is self incrimination and you are not required to incriminate yourself,you are required to let them inspect your vehicle but no statute requires you to help them I drove over 42 years I went through this and won everytime,also there inspection has to be done in a reasonable amount of time.i got red tagged in the middle of summer for being a foot over length with a load of cows 1 phone call to the SPCA and they where forced to let me go there are also weight laws they Wright overweight on portable scales those tickets can all be beat
@@dewaynemiguel3349 and l am telling you this as a DOT inspector with 10 years work experience. Duv 5.05 requires you to assist with brakes during inspection, gladhands are part of braking system therefore you must assist, refuse and you will wait in the parking lot, in Canada anyways, also your arguments will never win you a case in Canadian court. Officer you were challenging obviously did not prepare his case well. Portable scales are very accurate. Every morning we test and compare them to our big drive on scale to make sure they are accurate 100 %. Who is disconnecting your gladhands when you are switching trailers, you or someone more brave than you because its such a dangerous job..
..
This is part of the problem with the trucker shortage! The longer this guy isent on the road the less money he makes. That Trooper who is getting paid is delaying this guy to make his video!!! SMH. The disrespect Troopers show truckers is appalling! One of the reasons inflation is through the roof is the supply chain issues created from not enough truckers on the road. I hope that Trooper is happy when he spends $300 at the grocery store for hardly a full cart!
Very helpful nice 👍
Why would you help to take a chance for tickets fines or the truck be put out of service this is crazy
Because you are required to do it, MVAR div 5.05. Check it out..
@@alexk5442 That's in Canada, not the United States. This video takes place in Florida. Unless they have reason to expect you of committing a crime, you do not have to assist them here. You're only required to allow them to perform their inspection. However if you pass them off they're going to find something for sure, so it's better to play nice.
Did he get put out if service ? Most likely yes huh?
Yes. The brake chamber leak is an out of service.
I put my truck in the shop the minute it loos fault or to much wear and tear
Until the DOT starts checking cars to same level as trucks they are not doing their jobs.
Cars have air brakes? Cars weigh 65 tones? Cars have 30 tires? Cars carry insecure cargo? Cars have air suspension? Cars are 27 meters long? You know the answer so your comment was just... dumb.
Alex, is there any reason to have a vehicle inspection on cars, trucks, vans, or RV's?? Missing mirrors? Broken windshields? Plastic covering a busted out window? Missing or broken lights?Bald tires? Bad brakes? A car bouncing up and down the road because of bad shocks or struts? Garbage flying out the back of a pick up from being unsecured? Expired plates? Alex dont let us think your comment is....dumb.
@@alexk5442 40 tons, 18 tires
That's a fact i agree with you 100% it's dependent of transportation not dependent of commercial vehicles
Let the guy go about doing his job! How about reimbursing him for his time for helping you make your little video!!!!🤬🤬🤬
Florida dot no mask no safety glasses or gloves nice
He doesn't need no fucking mask, gloves ore glasses dumbass
Don’t help them, if they ask to press the brakes or anything. Just take a nap
Yup, 5th amendment
Do this and video it for us. Bet you'll get enough violations, you'll be driving free for the next month to pay the fines
All is about money not really safety. Police will end up been a mechanic. Its a easy way to get rid of independent contractors as well.
I don't think that's true... in my experience, there are a lot of DOT cops that will inspect company drivers only when they have said company's newer equipment, so that they can meet their inspection quotas without have to do write-ups.
so is this guy a cop or a mechanic, we need cops on the street catching immagrets a drug pusher!!
He's a Florida State Trooper assigned to the Florida Commercial Vehicle Division which is a State Agency.
He's a dot cop dumbass! He's not a drug enforcement officer unless of course the truck he's inspecting is carrying drugs
Busted pancake..simple fix for any driver who has his stuff together. But if you want to stay in clean clothes and never get dirty, expect to be put out of service regularly. 😒
Not possible for a solo driver to inspect under the trailer by himself. The DOT officer himself needed the drivers help🤦🏻♂️
So which company has good maintenance?
None you ride it till it breaks then they fix it
None!
IN THIS CASE ONE, STILL HAS THE 5TH AMENDMENDANT AND NOT TO INCRIMINATE HIMSELF. BY ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS THIS OFFICER IS TRYING TO CONVICT HIM ON. EVEN IN A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE .
I can see why he would need to carry a sidearm during this dangerous inspection. You never know when a chafing air line is just going to go total Karen on you.
He is a Florida State Trooper first and foremost. The fact that he is assigned to a weigh station is secondary.
Dude your Funny The Karen Air-Leaks LOL!
@@foltzenlogel these people just comment anything dumb
Wouldn't put up with that crap.nobody in their right mind would either, Let the dot try to haul everything on their cars sence they know all about trucks but hold no cdl.park um,fuel costs too high to make anything...
I'm watching this in Canada and I think it's hilarious that a DOT inspector needs to wear a gun. Is it really that dangerous? Mind you, I do understand that a lot of americans are armed, but... really???
He's a MotorVehicleComplianceOfficer. They are armed. They drive marked Florida Highway 🚓 cars. They are not only @ weigh stations, they also cruise the interstate and rual highways two lane highways.
That's y I skip....
His job sounds stressful
Lmao how?
Driver press your brake, turn your key.
I need a vacation.
When dealing with some drivers, yes. They can be a real headache. Especially the ones that like to argue.
Yeah it’s not like he actually fixes it, cough cough mechanics
So you took this drivers time away from him so you could do a video? Do you (dot) understand how a drivers time is extremely valuable? Did the driver benefit from this loss of time as dot is benefiting from making this video?
I think he benefited the driver by put him out of service
DOT dirty Revenue business i never surprise ?
Do you really need a gun to do a Truck inspection?..
You're an idiot! They never know when they're going to need the gun! Dumbass!
@@orlandoreese19 I don't even know what the hell you're even talking about
Those inspectors are actually state police. So yeah, they're packin heat
Their payed before they should go to trucking company and check in their lot. Thirds
This is the reason we need to use all air disc brakes they can’t measure them
They can definitely be measured
why do dot officers have guns? thats like a building inspector being armed...
because they are a state law enforcement officer they have more jurisdiction than local or county law enforcement officers.
Where would someone pickup the tool that was used to check brakes
You really don't need that tool. It's best to familiarize yourself with the different types of brake chambers and purchase a set of brake stroke indicators which are a very inexpensive. They are plastic pieces that attach to the pushrods and will help you with any brake adjustment issues.
@@chrislareau8110
Where do I find those
@@chrislareau8110
I struggle with knowing if break shoes need replaced and getting my employer to change them. Thank you for the information
@@cholland3440 You should be able to find this item anywhere they sell truck parts. Truck dealer parts dept. is a good place. You should be able to find a kit that will have enough pieces to do truck and trailer for about $25.
@@cholland3440 A little thing I did to measure my brake linings is to take a big paper clip and measure out 1/4" of it and make a bend at the quarter inch mark. Then when I inspect my brake linings I use this little home made tool to check whether or not the brake linings are within spec or not. I'm more than happy to help with any issues you have I've got 22 years OTR with lots of different equipment.
4th amendment fellas
Lol our rights have been long gone.
4th amendment deals with unlawful search and seizures. How does that apply to inspecting a truck
This would be a search="inspection
Seizure=when he took it out of service"
I hear yold wpmen jave busted diapram
Why aren’t you wearing safety glasses?
Yeah driving government trucks baby
Stop wasting drivers time by talking to your camera bud. Driver has to be somewhere
All bs
Dot sucks
