You had everything ready and organized. Trooper asked for documents and handed stuff over without having to hunt around the cab. Shows you're a professional driver who was responsible and respectful. In and out in less time to get a coffee a pee lol. Stay safe J

32 years in transportation and this is one of the most professional drivers in the way he handled that Inspection. Sir, I commend you. UPS is hiring if you need a job.

Driver, your videos are the best training videos for everybody - rookie and experience. Although I'm retired (OTR) I do miss it from time to time. Great stuff.

This DOT officer was cool. I wish most of them would be this cool and laid back, be calm to earth and exploratory. Thumbs up to this “old timer”...

company my grandad drove for you had to have your own rig but every time you passed a roadside or scale dot stop they would give you a bonus.

Respectful driver and inspector. Well done gentlemen!

Great information with the recent transition of electronic logs! Thank you for sharing!!

Shows how much they don't know, I've had dirty elogs using my off duty driving hour. Two bears checked them out and said my logs cleared.

My god the crap you have to go through now. I drove about 29 years ago out of Texarkana TX. when we had the paper logs and I could dot my log when I had to, but today that is over with. My hats off to you and all the other fellows O.T.R.

Thanks for filming & sharing the experience! Glad all went well! Be safe!

Nice video. 1 year driver here and really appreciated your narration!

these videos of real life on the road are very valuable. Routine for you, but new for us. Thanks

Easy to understand and good training for new drivers 👍👍

I use to jump trucks in the 80's. Now I am a wizard.

I just came across your videos. I like the way you do them. This one in particular makes me so glad that I got off the road 6 years ago. I sure don't miss it. I didn't have the "pleasure" of using electronic logs, so your screen was basically greek to me. What bothered me about your experience here is that he kept you there a long time, though he was not "playing god" over you, he also wasn't very "friendly" either. I think it would be safe to assume that if you didn't have the camera rolling, his attitude may have been much different, and not in a positive way. I DO miss pulling reefer units, but I DO NOT miss the log book. Not one bit. God blessed me with a great local job which I actually get paid more than the OTR companies I was with, and I go home every day, and off every weekend. And since my hours are 7 am to 5 pm Mon. thru Fri, and I stay within the 100 mile radius, hee hee, NO LOG BOOK. I always hated a piece of paper telling me that I am too tired to drive.

"So where's a good place to park?". Um, the Pilot Flying J at the next exit. Most certainly not here. haha!

All truck now MUST have manual for electronic log book which is installed in your truck. To be able show how to operate your electronic book ( many different units cops cannot memorize all how to operate them) Soon will be and that is for sure WI-FI electronic logs when DOT will pull your logs while driving.Same in Swiss they have that already for 10 years.Driving next to you and see all on your log book. Cop say 7 and half hour lol. Law say in 8 hours to take brake. Save haven is the all depend on if all go smooth no problem you can take but having accident in that time will be against us drivers. lol Love all your videos JBG.

Thanks for sharing and great questions at the end 👍

Interesting channel thanks for sharing your travels

Unless its different in states, a level 1 is a full inspection. A level 3 is what you went through, paperwork only or (driver.) I just did a level 1 on the side of the road outside of Kanab, UT. Level 1 is everything... you, the truck, paperwork, the kitchen sink. Its when the officer puts on coveralls and grabs his tools. It sounded like gun shots going off randomly in your video. I am a new driver trying to pick up on all the tips and tricks to help makes things easier. The officer told me that if you get pulled over, you shouldnt touch your logs at all. The officer will tell you what and how to change your logs at the end, times, where you are, etc. I appreciate your videos cause they help me. Thanks!

There is a difference between "rules" and "Common Law", many times law enforcement get the two mixed up. Some are discretionary and flexible.

DOT guy is perfect 👌

that looks like the one in olathe,ks going southbound.

In sweden we have driving time for 4,5 hours, and after that you most take 45 minutes brake. And after that drive 4,5 hours again. But sometimes you CAN’T just stop and you drive over. Then you most print out an paper from the trucks computer and write on it WHY you drove over.
