15th within how long?

Did I miss something?

I think I have had five inspections, two of which were nothing more than routine on the side of the road brake checks in all the time I have been driving.

Bama,
Sorry, I was informed that I was rather.... wrong! with my comments.

Glad you haven't had any problems with the inspections.

I've been inspected 3 times in 3 years. I can't imagine having to put up with 15 inspections. That must take more patience than the Pope. Congratulations on all the clean reports and condolences for being the "lucky one" so many times.

It seems that a truck is singled out for inspection according to what the inspector wants to accomplish: either citations, or an easy one to fulfill the required number of inspections. The former will choose a truck that looks messy & uncared for, while the latter would choose a truck that looks shipshape, no?
Since Bamamule has passed them all with flying colors, his is apparently the good looking truck - congratulations on doing it right!

Itried getting a sticker one time. Guy said he's a trainee, ifn you want a sticker I will have to inspect the truck, uh thanks but I don't need no dang sticker.

Besides everytime I get one of those stickers, within a week I get a rock thru the windshield.

Greg if you pass 15 inspections with out one Gig come back and tell us. Yes you should pass all of them, but 15 w/o a failure, means you do a hell of a job.
