How dumb is this, my father in law gets a ticket for having too many straps on his load. Dot made him take them off. He has a few extra staps on a 48' load than was required but a couple of straps had nicks in them, so he cuts those off and leaves the good ones (required amount) and gets two tickets one for too many and one for damaged. I think the driver should be able to use as many as he feels is required as long as there is a least the min required. He also got one for having a spliced (union) air line on the exhaust side. DOT Saftey or profit?
