I never have a problem with my 1986 Pete. Dot could not believe how well it is maintained! Not one problem was found! Be safe! OTR for Life 😎👍🏻

[@daisymay5823]

Just got inspected in Arkansas, three officers went over my truck, inside and out. Not a single violation.❤️ Pretrips, and having a DOT certified mechanic comb my equipment on Monday, saved my bacon. They are looking for (1) elog compliance (2) brakes, tires, airlines (3) anything missing, broke, lose, and leaking. Also anything visually “off” on trucks. That’s 2 hours I’ll never get back on my logbook. Just a heads up.

[@TenGreenRangers]

You don't run the 1st 12 hours of the Nationwide DOT extravaganza.. when they are rabid to find the smallest thing. Most states have shut down in 24 hours.. and have peter'ed out by 12 hours in. I've gotten tickets for "brake out of adjustment" .. when I had automatic slack adjusters that had no issues. If you don't like paying tickets for chickenshxx... Stay away from the inexperienced Troopers while they are being pressured to find something.

[@Hurst_Hemi]

Tim, what you said during your intro to this video is exactly the truth. I have over 4 million miles over the road and my wife (39 years on 12/1 - been together 42+ years) is the foundation of our family. God bless all the mothers of there. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Blitz week, PERFECT time to take a 34 reset🤣🤣🤣

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

My fiance and I have a three-year-old daughter and she was told she was never going to be able to have children but we ended up with a beautiful daughter. She has stepped out to be the most amazing mom and it's like it's totally natural to her she just fell right into the role of ultimate Mom right away. Mothers do a lot and I know some people don't give them the recognition they deserve but how sometimes I can be that way but without her I don't think I can handle being a single dad. She is a blessing as well as our daughter.

[@bobfoster4510]

Hey Tim watch your unassigned drive time when not logged in. A DOT officer can see the truck moved without a active driver and assign that time to the driver. The log function should have a place for the driver to reject the unassigned drive time prior to his trip. Also be sure the drivers are certifying their logs daily. It shows the officer they are on top of it. I am not familiar with Motive

[@Gentryandsons]

Thanks for the info brother

I like that your on top of safety inspections so many times I see trucks with a brake or turn signal light not working some body is not doing a proper pre trip I always did when I was a trucker

[@donmccord]

About mudflap reflectors if your truck was produced before 1997 you don’t have to have them nor do you have to have rear of cab reflectors it’s right in your little green book but….. good luck convincing some rookie dot officer of that even if you can show him in the book

[@ICE-FYB]

This man is tripping plum out lmao. Also a little advice to the new drivers out there don’t suck up to those inspectors. They don’t want to talk to you nor do they wanna fuck with you but they have too. You make their life easy and they’ll make your life easy. Do a proper pre trip, listen for air leaks, give them the proper paperwork in a binder because they love a organized driver, follow instructions, be respectful and DONT MAKE SMALL TALK. Act like you’ve been there before.. They don’t wanna be your friend lol.

[@Kingpin745]

They got me yesterday. Put out of service for brakes adjustments smh. Luckily it was something I could fix and kept pushing.

[@chrisstaab8028]

Center, "blue wire" is always constant for a.b.s./meritor system, black/brown is power for markers, green/yellow turn, white ground. Abs should have constant power and only illuminate for 3 seconds when plug is inserted and it runs its check, if it only illuminates when brakes are pressed its either wired incorrectly or has a bad connection somewhere. Also prior to I believe 1998 trailers older don't require abs to run legally

[@goaway3717]

That's why you pull your rig off the road for preventive maintenance if you can and take a short vacation while it's happening. Sounds like the regulatory auditors in my line of work when they show up and if you're clean they stay longer because you just HAVE to be guilty of something they can fine you for. I've seen financial auditors stick around for weeks beyond their normal schedule because they can't take any more money out of your pocket for any legit errors.

Brakes Hubs ABS Hours of service be safe everyone 👊🔥

[@n-lessfix-itlist3836]

The only time that light is to come on is when you cycle the key or You Skid tires and the ABS throws a code. If you step on the brake the light comes on that means there is no power coming out of your axillary pin in the pigtail usually it's just a 30 amp fuse in the truck has to say trailer ABS not truck ABS .When you step on the brake and the light comes on that means there's no power going to the trailer ABS from the truck you wouldnt think so because the light came on but you can believe what you want.

It is very hard to find a company driver that takes care of equipment like an owner operator. It sucks your fenders already got scratched. My boss had the mentality of chrome don’t make money. But I told him shippers see a good looking truck. They know their equipment is going to be taken care of the same. He just never understood.

[@silverback8183]

After seeing the insurance video and all the other crap you've been through...I'd sell everything,buy two new trucks and drive for FedEx Custom Critical. Between the 2 you should easily make $600k a year and save a butt load in fuel costs because 99% of the loads are well under 10.000 pounds. A family member has been with them for 15 yrs and makes killer money.

[@Gentryandsons]

It’s definitely a thought

[@silverback8183]

@@Gentryandsons give em call. I'm straight up with you. 90% of the loads will fit into a small van. Very few are much over five thousand pounds. Only thing is you need r drivers who will team, pass government background checks because you will haul military loads/secret cargo loads, has passport for Canada (if you want to go,not a have to) and stay out for 3 weeks at a time. Longer they stay out, longer the runs. You only need a fairly new truck and you can rent a refer trailer from them at a good rate so you don't have to buy your own. When I drove with him I've seen....$12k from NY to CA, $5k in 5 days at an airport never moved the truck, $3500 for 300 miles. They haul very valuable high end freight and they pay very well.

In my years of trucking and wrenching, I have always been told that the ABS light should only come on for a couple of seconds when the key is first turned on.
