Well Bret4207 I for one thank you for being out there. It keeps our roads safe. We all know what a mad house it would be with no enforcement.

I got over 2M miles in a truck and yes I have had my run in with the DOT before but never for something I knew about in advance.

But I challenge you to a truthful answer to a question.

You line up every officer in your state that can write a DOT ticket.
I will pick out 10 of these people.
We will ask them ONE DOT question as to what a rule says and where you have to be to be in violation of this rule.

How many different answers do you think we will get? 5? 8?

This is where the problem is. The feds tried to standardize the rules years ago by doing away with length laws and making all states go to at least 80,000 lbs on interstates but they did not go far enough.
We need one law for every state so all know what the laws are. This $hit of every state having a different law and the laws written so even a lawyer can not understand them is the root of the whole problem and makes for a lot of sour apples.
