Level 2 Inspection Violation
Topic 23829 | Page 1
Eric,
No big deal. Your company will fix the mud flap, sign the paperwork and send it in. I ran for Central Transport for a bit. They had no maintenance whatsoever. I received several of the fixit tickets (not proud...but it happened). Some of the, were my issues ...some not...but none of them kept me from getting a good job with Roehl...and now local with Ruan Transportation. Just don’t let your guard up on the pretrip.
Good luck!!!
Generally things on the trailer don't affect you. Make sure you get that taken care of ASAP. Stay safe.

Hey guys so I was running up in the mountains today. I was 12 miles from my destination when I noticed my mudflap started hanging loose. I had nowhere safe to pull over and take a look so I had to keep going. Well I got super lucky and a highway patrol pulled me over and gave me a level 2. He was nice but wrote the mudflap on the inspection. No citation just said to have it fixed and mail the paper in within 15 days. I asked him if my company doesn’t do it in time will it affect me and he said NO it goes on their CSA not mine. My DM said nothing will go against me too. But I just find that hard to believe. Am I all anxious over nothing? I feel stupid for not just pulling off on the side of the highway for a quick fix but I guess an inspection is better than causing an accident or worse...
