Friday Short Haul - North Dakota Road Trains, Brake Safety Week, Drivers Not Returning To Duty, Opposition To Mexican Truckers
Topic 28691 | Page 1
Theres definitely more state patrol and DOT on the roadways today pulling over trucks and cars. I'm not worried about brake check week. I'm confident in my equipment but I will just tell the officer I have diplomatic immunity if I get pulled in 
Atleast it may get a chuckle.....
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
King of the Mid-West Roadways!!!
You wouldn’t happen to know Abe Froeman???? The sausage king of Chicago???
Wear that at a truck stop and tell people to move your royalty.
