Yeah it doesn’t have brakes on the steer axle either but the driver reminded him the year of the truck and that they didn’t come with them. Officer had no idea. Pretty sure it’s the oldest truck he’s ever inspected.

Still irritates me that it came to this. It really wasn’t a hard install but I’m kinda hung up on the principle of the whole matter. He did a full roadside inspection on a 1973 Kenworth and because he couldn’t find anything wrong or unsafe he had to throw this in my lap. Like I have nothing else to do…. I did 8 tires and a pile of other stuff yesterday then a transmission in a truck this morning and this install this afternoon. The truck had glass cleaner and paper towels in it so it wasn’t like there was an excuse for driving with a dirty windshield.

Big trucks is what I know. HAZMAT is what I tow.

You still have time to dispute it. Use the new
FMCSA DataQs system portal. I think you have 45 days.

I have a image/copy of a WSP inspection, when I was towing my Mack to a truck show
in Pasco Wa. Pulled over asked for papers, came back and asked if she could take some
photos of the Mack--had been following for five miles. I have the inspection report in a
PFD file. Was all good, just wanted photos of my Mack, On the inspection under {Shipper}
it said {owner of a incredible Mack truck}:)100_1586.JPG

In all seriousness----yes, it would have been much cheaper with one. A huge mistake
in the conjuring of ideas to make retro. I will have to rescan that inspection from pdf
file to jpeg. Not many have been pulled over to have cops do a photo shoot, while
there another WSP stopped as backup to get photos.
