    Have your ever had a skidloader rollover

    Forgot about this one. Not quite sure how he did that. But of course the machine picked the perfect time to fry the starter solonoid. Couldnt open the back door to jump the solonoid. Had to pry the top panel off and get it started that way to get it back on its wheels.

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    The whole thing just sucks. If it were about safety....Id be all for it. We already have a yearly required safety inspection. Why do we need constant random inspections? If its about safety......Why not make safety inspections quarterly? This way I can schedule my truck to be off the...

    Hey mechs, What's in your box?

    I have to say, where in the past i never considered it, the hand tools from Lowes have come a long way quality and comfort wise. I never used to think of Lowes as a place to go for mechanic tools, but I cant leave there lately without spending a bunch of money.

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    Re-reading my posts I realize I come across like I drive unsafe junk and Im bitter about it. Ha Thats not actually the case. I dont have any major problems when we hit the inspections. My major problem is the way the program is run. My problem is the pressure the inspectors have to "find...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    They could do away with the program and just add a tax to trucks. Not that I support that, but thats all this program is. Its not about safety. Just tax every freakin truck $1000 a year and let us do our jobs without what I see as nothing more than harassment to extract money. Change truck...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    I know I ranted before, and yes, I take routes to try to avoid them.....When I was typing it was a bad day..haha It just bugs me that this is a money making thing under the guise of safety. In reality its not about safety. Now Im the first to admit, yes I complain because I run older...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    Something about the whole DOT thing seems wrong. To me it feels like the cops searching your house randomly to see if you are doing anything wrong. We already have yearly safety inspections. If they are really concerned about safety, why not make the inspections every 6 months or even...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    Outcome from the meeting As expected there was an official and unofficial statement. The State police boss was really cool and totally saw the stupidity of the situation. The complaint against the towing company was retracted by the on scene officer. The reason for the in-person meeting was...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    The whole thing has created a mess. My boss billed the hour I sat at DOT as "standby time" which is entitled under the contract. The vehicle owners insurance company is fighting the charge. They wont pay the charge to release the vehicle. The owner wants the car, my boss told the insurance...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    Here was a fun one not too long ago that reminded me of this. I tow part time as a backup for a couple of companies in my area. I had a newer model, perfect condition, international flatbed from one of the companies at my house. This truck is far from a rat trap and maintained to a T. I get...

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    Around here you cant seem to go 100 feet anymore without getting stopped. The state police are all over doing mobile DOT stops. They have their regular checkpoints that used to only be open a couple times a month, are now open just about everyday. Theyre out at night which a couple years...
