Today I think I will talk about the ever so popular DOT..(HAHA, Yeah Right!) I understand everyone needs a job, but it seems the DOT do their best to keep hard working truckers from doing theirs. I know it is important to keep your semi running properly so you are safe out there, but it seems as if these officers go out of their way to bully. Most of them have major attitudes and think they own the road and those who travel on it.
If the officers would show truckers the respect they deserve, then they in turn may get the drivers respect. I have witnessed first hand the attitude these officers can have and how they find the tiniest little thing to write a ticket for and cost hard working drivers who just want to do their jobs and go home hundreds of dollars.
I am sure there are some good DOT officers out there who respect the drivers, but I have yet to come across one.
To all you DOT officers out there..give the drivers a break! They are spending weeks on the road away from their families and delivering products for you to have in your daily lives. How would you feel if they all shut down and didn't delivery anything!
