[QUOTE="Epoisode7, post: 1155442, member: 47942"] I know when I was driving, I would not have passed a thorough DOT inspection by the highway patrol on a few occasions. Mostly things like cracked windshields and taillights not working. The terminal manager often stepped on us to kiss ass with whoever his bosses were, but he was forced to look the other way sometimes, which helped us. He'd "pass over" things during quarterly inspections, such as horns not working, tail lights burnt out, and tread that I'd hesitate to tall 2/32". We ran with the bare minimum of drivers and I worked before the shops opened, and got off well after they closed. If a van went down and there was no rentals available, we had to ride together and do 2 routes/1 vehicle.. which was a 17 hour day. I've seen drivers carry hazmat packages without removing the label and putting it in the envelope, not having the orange book or triangles, having 1/32 tread, and one driver who once ran out of room in his van and got a small bulk shipment of all hazmat packages and the end of the sort. They all went into his cab. He even put the seat belt on them to hold them in place. I could go on and on. When I quit I emailed as many different state and federal contacts as I could find. [/QUOTE]
