It's good they do checks. There are some really bad trailers on the road. Like the one the junk collector had. On the other hand, I think a lot of the time they are just justifying their job. I got pulled over once in my Hino dump truck. The cop spent 20 minutes trying to find something wrong. Even had me turn the steering wheel back and forth real slow to check for play. Totally ignored the safety sticker on the window that I didn't even require!
The worst was when I was bringing my tractor back home on my bobcat trailer. I got pulled over by the commercial vehicle inspectors. The first one asked for all my documents, while the other guy was walking around and telling how good everything was. Then the first cop came back and gave a $150 ticket because I didn't have GVW numbers on the side of my truck. In the past they would have gave you 24 hours to comply. A bunch of people later told me I should have fought it because they never weighed the tractor on the trailer. The guy was strictly guessing and it was only a 135! My trailer has 7000 lb. axles. I lost a lot of respect for them after that considering I had a safe unit. There is a lot of junk on the road that is just an accident waiting to happen. Dave
