No!!! all of us do not feel this way.
Yes there are DOT officers that try to show off their authority just like there are drivers with three log books. There are people that can afford a truck larger than the average joe for personal use so they get harrassed; just like there is the tractor hauler saying it is personal to get out of fees but making a living at it. Its hard to know who you are harassing with all the lies you hear every day.
While I have been written up over the years; NEVER for something I knew about; I thank the DOT for showing me how to be safer. I feel the DOT and me both have a job to do and joe public needs both of us to get the job done. While it is my job to drive safely and repair my truck it is the DOT's job to make sure I do not come into contact with someone that is not safe. And my kids count on you every day to make sure you do your part so I can return home safely every day.
I think the states should crack down on the cars and pickups also but I know it is a funding thing. Even more than that they need to educate joe public about trucks.
(way more truck car accidents are caused by the car)
Thank you for your service to the community!!!
SEMPER FI
