I have found in the past 10 years to totally loose ALL respect for law enforcement. They are mostly theives, they will lie and cheat and have the badge, gun, and court system on their side. I had 3 Michigan special gravel trains on the road 3 years ago. Now these trucks have 11 moving axles and can carry a gross vehicle weight of 150,000 lbs. One year i was fighting 10 tickets in court from myself and my other drivers.I thought i was maybee running an unsafe fleet, that was until i spoke to my local competetors and found they were getting the same good treatment. I received personally tickets for not having my reading glasses on while driving the truck, it says corrective lenses on my licence, even though i need them for reading only. I also got a ticket for no licence plate lamp in a tailgate mounted licence plate. How do you wire that? even if you did the first load of gravel you dump the tailgate slams and the bulb is gone! One of my other divers got a unsecure load ticket with the low-boy trailer, his cargo was a empty bottle of winsheild washer solvent in the well of the trailer. The bad part of all this is when you go to court if you win ,you still LOSE because you had to take time off from work. But the interesting thing is, that you can see how much money these courts and officers are bringing in. It will make you SICK. Then you hear on the radio the Crimestoppers Program that needs the publics help on finding criminals. I dont ask them to do my job, why are they asking me to do theirs? So they can hide in the bushes and give hard working and God fearing people like us seatbelt and phony speeding tickets. They are the lowest form of life! Dan Turke
