#1 They stop anything with dual wheels. The state must need money. I know of one new inspection station that took in $7,000 just on practice day before opening. Single fines of $10,000 occur. No air cap on valve stem or plastic one $40.00 each. New tractor off lot got a fine on brakes needing adjustment. You see, the Federal DOT now has competition for fine revenue from the states. Mostly in large cities for revenue. Mexican truck drivers? what do you think happens. I have more respect for the Federal DOT. But if the state needs money allot of pressure to deliver. |
