They should really show this video to the inspector’s. Not one time have I had one be this nice EVER: I am always king and respectful but they never reciprocate. Also the non drivers that are commenting are hilarious if you ever had to go through this you would understand. Thousands of drivers say these guys are very unpleasant but non drivers will still believe that being respectful will make a inspection better lol
I have NEVER had an ODOT officer be this respectful when inspecting my truck. Ever. That 30 minutes cost that driver about $20 in wages by the time he logged everything and did his reporting for the inspection. Public folks, don't let the ODOT or any other government agency try to convince you about how respectful they are. I have been pulled in for an inspection twice in the same day without a single violation found. We are supposed to be exempt for 30 days from being inspected. The ODOT officer told me my first inspection was at a different weigh station than his, so it didn't count for him. He inspected me again also finding no violation. Respect my ass.
@@leavingasap843 He makes a good point, if you were a truck driver maybe you would understand...Perhaps it hasn't happened to you yet, you would bitch too snowflake 🙂
@@handsomegorgeous5072 been inspexted 3 times in one day in commifornia. same attitude from troopers. all jump scales. dealt with it. y? cause what else you gonna do?
Great video, drivers are afraid of pulling into inspection stations and I always ask why,, you make sure you have all your ppwk in order and up to date, do a proper pre-trip to the best of your knowledge. if anything is questionable, don't leave till it's fixed properly. Safety is number one.
Because we can't get under the truck like these guys can. And if they pull you in for a full inspection, they will find something wrong. I've known brand new combinations to get fixit tickets... Not to mention, it eats up our time. But generally, yes. Pay attention to the vehicle while going down the road, have your paperwork in order, and do a proper circle check.
They always inspect semi trailers that are so clean. Understandable for learning purposes. What would be nice is to also show an inspection video on one that's dirty and maybe has minor and major defaults.
@@leavingasap843 it’s a healthy mix of both. After working on these trucks for years and talking to the drivers I’d highly recommend you stay far far away from trucks on the roads. Some of these drivers can’t form complete sentences 😂
At the end it reads your inspection should only take 30 minutes if your truck and paper work are in order as seen here..... BUT how long if the truck has been driven 100 miles on wet dirty roads, then how long?
He said that he would look at his electronic logs, but he didn't or he didn't show that part and essentially, that is the most important part of a driver's job and accountability, just curious why it was not shown 😮
They are not describing what they are inspecting or why. And they didn’t even use a real truck driver, that’s Shane from safety and he works at May’s Salem Terminal most of the time
I f you get a DoT inspection say in one state and on the same trip you get pulled in for another inspection will they do do another inspection or will they let you go
good day. total weight 38 tons. How many liters does it burn per 100 km? 400-450 hp in America. 13L----16L. How much is a 0 km truck engine? It would be very nice if you put the odometer on the side of the video. I'm setting you up. I am writing from the Asian continent. thanks.
funny your going to portland from salem? if so why are you in the south scale? the north side has no inspection building! to funny. And he asked for your med card. well you dont have to show it anymore its connected to your license. as soon as they run your cdl it will tell them if you have current med card. also failed to check th ABS! log book! So this inspector FAILED this inspection!
If there really was ice cream in that box, the reefer would've been running continuously. Also, even if all those fasteners (lugs, shock bolts etc.) weren't properly torqued, unless they were about to fall off, that inspector couldn't possibly turn them by hand! I have no problem with dot inspections, but, this is obviously a set up video on what's basically a brand new truck.
Just another unnecessary delay for the driver! They want to conduct inspections nationwide. It should be done on their time not the drivers. Send the DOT to all trucking companies every 3 mos and that’s it!
Perfect, then all companies can make sure none of there unsafe trucks are there to be inspected. Yes good idea. Just keep your truck right and you wont have a problem.
Do your PRe trip and you'll be safe, I work for may and you have plenty ofntime to do proper pre trip, it takea 10 minutes, report to the company if any issues are found, is your responsibility to be on top of your s hit ,
At what weight does ODOT start checking trucks for compliance? I am trying to purchase a small bucket truck (about 12k pounds) in Oregon and I am curious if I will need to stop at weigh stations on my way home?
Why we gotten yearly truck inspection and then DOT inspection this Laws and Regulations are disrespectful, I myself asked an DOT Officers how many more inspections the truckers need it for,, he didn’t know and he don’t trust the State Inspections,
can i send my Chicago drivers pass your dot inspection without any logbook glimpses???? No permit book, no trailer reg.,truck reg, insurance...etc.... I should call Laura Folk to retrain you in OR!!!
he is inspecting a truck with only 160th miles,kinda new, pull over an old piece of crap, you will find a ton of shit wrong with it, he just dont want to get dirty
Do NOT ever press your foot on the brake to let them check your brakes, in doing this, YOU are HELPING them incriminate YOU, if your brakes are out of adjustment, you will let them know, just by putting your foot on the brake!. Inform them, politely of course, that you know they have a tool they can use to determine if the brakes are out of adjustment. They are NOT required to let you know this. You are expected to follow the directions given, even if it violated your rights. Having you use your brakes against you is very common, but, you have the right, The 5th Amendment, NOT to incriminate yourself.....EXERCISE THAT RIGHT!!
@@victorbernier4765 Right? Just do your circle checks and fix shit when it breaks. There is no reason to fear inspections if the driver does THEIR job.
What's so awful about making sure your rig has brakes???? My uncle was killed by a truck and trailer due to it loosing it's brakes. I'm very anti gov. And them meddling in my business but I agree with vehicle inspections as not everyone who hops behind the wheel is a mechanic like I am and knows when something is wrong.
I am sorry but when your checking wheel nuts you can't just run your fingers over them, use a bloody torque wrench to check them properly, in the UK we use hi viz pointers to show the driver if they are, have come loose as the pointers won't align up with the next one, any way, why has this inspector pulled a almost new truck up? why doesn't he pick up on the old jalopies that are rusty, IF this a set up its badly done.
No it's not. The law makers would never do that because it would make them unpopular in their districts. Heck, even echecks are just about gone. Not to mention the waste. Perfectly good cars are essentially totaled in Pennsylvania because of a tiny rust hole. If all the states did safety inspections like that, there would be a lot of perfectly good 4wheelers in junkyards...
@@ebels3 You really think that lawmakers give a hoot about how the people feel? Nope. Not in the least. We are heading into a totalitarian rule government. When revenue is all they think about, hell yes. It's coming. Guaranteed.
Really if its going to jeopardize my safety no it's not criminal. The only criminal thing is a driver who doesn't take care of his truck. And doesn't replace broken parts that will lead to a crash.
As part of your DOT inspection, the officer may ask you to drop your pants, bend over and cough. You may feel a finger or two go up your sewer hole. When you feel the sensation, he's going to ask you to bear down and then inhale deeply. You should know this could cause a rather uncomfortable irritation as the DOT cops do not use Lube.
This is a fake you need to have the refer unit on with a load of ice cream and there right I got stopped at the agricultural inspection station the guy was treating me nice but like what the heck they Checked my stuff in the cargo box and the guy was like I have never seen anyone that rents a truck and puts only their luggage in the truck but after he checked everything and then asked my granny the same questions like where we are going then he was kind of nice but when the realized we were ok then he lets go
