- Truck Driver Violations are no joke, and need to be taken seriously.
In this video, Dean discusses the most common truck driver violations that truckers can be cited for and how to avoid them.

🤣😂🤣😂and working for any company out of Chicago as well
Accidents , reckless driving tickets , eld violations , speeding tickets, and overweight These will all ruin your license. Dirty urine test is a Total nightmare.
Thanks for sharing!
Watch closely for those construction lane restrictions signs. It's a natural instinct to want to be in the right (slower) lane as a truck driver. I was pulled over for not paying attention and didn't notice the "Trucks use left lane" sign.
Wow 🤯
Jbs beef Plant in my area is paying $38 an hour starting all the overtime you want! Screw driving a truck these days
What area
What area and what does the job require
Hey that sounds like some good scratch for sure. Remember me at Christmas lol. Stay safe my friend
Sounds like a great gig!
What area
I just started trucking drove a bus 20 years. I've learned to move over to allow another truck to enter the expressway, this morning I did this & this truck kept speeding up not allowing me back over while I'm holding up 2nd lane of traffic. Then giving me the figure "such a professional driver"👏👏. These are the kind of drivers that need to find another job away from people.
Welcome to the trucking industry! Drivers are always in a rush to get to their destination these days..
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News truckers in my area speed all the time, must not be a big deal, I hold cruze control at the speed limit and truckers always pass me
They got theirs kinda mentality.
I move over, they don’t repay the kindness.
Nowadays i expect it and doesn’t bother me nearly as much but at first I couldn’t stand it!
I wish I can have a magical cigarette when I’m home . I know better so I won’t.
One hit a month won't show up in UA but will in hair follicle
When one hit a month turns into one hit a week then once everyday that’s the problem
Just order the synthetic urine and have one with you at all times
Happy to hear you guys are on your game😎👍stay safe
That's why I traded my semi truck for a landscape business , it's the same money , im home every night , I do what I want , I report what I want for income , moved to florida, no state income tax ..they dont want us to be driving/delivering, so I found another thing to do , my cdl is worthless..
I think a half hour walk would be better then a half hour nap
I've had a couple mishaps and gotta recover. I love trucking. Just a couple minor things but you're right I'll be treating this like tge gold that it is when I get back out there.
Great to see you back Dean
Great info. E joy your videos Dean
Thanks Barb!
I just started driving on the road .. thank you for that tip/reminder to make sure we fuel before we weigh on the Scales 🔥
Most welcome, glad some of this stuff helps you out. Stay safe, you’re gonna be great
I learned to drive a truck hauling livestock 23 years ago. Had to load Heavy because they lose weight on the trip. So I would do first scale for empty weight. Load. 2nd scale to give me an idea of how much fuel weight I could add and still Dump enough air to clear any scales in my way...
I've done Heavy Haul also, and usually scale loaded and see how much fuel weight to add on.
If you know your load weight is light enough, fill it.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, studying for mine now this is helpful just subscribed
Hey awesome to hear. Can’t wait to see ya out on the road
Welcome to the channel!
Thanks for tips😀😀
Anytime!
Right now after the New Year started I called HR at a company I drove for a few years ago. I only wanted the time period I worked there for updating my resume. Ms. Jackie asks if I'm looking for a job?...I say Noooo, not really. I'm sending some feelers out to the Oilfield since a boom is starting...She sez let me call ya back in a few minutes ? OK. Well, here I am out OTR for them again. Lol.
Smaller company, Great Family. Great Office People. They were in the boat You just talked about. Drivers had too many violations of all kinds. He was almost uninsurable. On Probation with DOT. Scheduled for Full blown audit in June 2022. His new Safety Director had sent several longtime drivers down the road.
He needed Good Drivers. And there I am, Spotless Drivers License, no points on my Score. 23rd Year with my CDL, NO Moving Violations, No Accidents. Years ago I got an Overweight Ticket at St. George, UT with a load if Pigs. And in my Dairy Tanker days I picked up a Falsifying my Logbook, long story there!...against my gut instinct I came back to working here. It's actually a good deal being scrutinized so closely. Lotta years and I picked up some bad habits. They got weeded out in 3 months time ! I think I have really matured as a Driver. Good topic and video, Sir ! Thank you !
He has positive energy ❤🎉
Wait what ? You mean too many violations can affect my cdl and throw me out of trucking ?!
Dang and all I intended to was go to the highway department of licensing and trade the cdl In for a class d .
Turns out I can have some fun getting rid of the cdl 😂
Thx for info !
i love to work for this company
Great video! Not related, but I noticed today that local diesel is $2.98/Lt CAD, or $8.33\Gal USD, YIKES!
Yeah, it's getting crazy
sounds bout time to head back to the oilfields! awful enviroment but with fuel jumping it may be a sound financial decision!
Hey thx man and yeah it’s crazy times out there. They got us in a pickle yet we gotta pay it to run. Here’s hoping it changes quickly
Thanks for watching! And yikes to those diesel prices!
The ELD's doing it for me.
Hard brakes, speeding, idling #Mousetrap
Rumplestiltskin #Beetlejuice #GungHo
Just cannot get it, who drives your truck - yourself or the ELD? ))
Hey I guess every now and then it spits out some info but it also doesn’t take into consideration why we had to brake etc.
Thanks for sharing!
@@inkognitou6982 hard to say, can't interact with the device while the vehicle is in motion, keys out engine off and parked...shift-for-brains peanut gallery GFY
Alcohol level for truck drivers in the states is 0.04BAC

@@lifedrivefitness9123 keep up with your project. Good advices for rookies and for experienced drivers. You too be safe. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
I got a ticket for being “out of lane” 🙄 He said I wasn’t speeding or anything, I was just too many lanes over and I was in the correct lane for the freeway split, 4 miles out from it. 🙄
Yeah sometimes they got you by the short and curly’s lol part that sucks is the time off and money to fight it.
@@lifedrivefitness9123 I’m not worried about time off I can just use PTO lol. I’ll just go fight it myself lol
Yikes! Sorry to hear you got a ticket. Stay safe out there!
Chump shots sometimes!
Weigh station inspection on husband became an OOS , flat tire … ya right!
Keep your eyes on them ask to walk around get out of truck if ya can!
Trust me after said and done took tractor into Loves had tire checked absolutely nothing wrong with it!
Had to fight it was some BS blitz!
I had 4 incident violations will I ever be able to drive a truck again or do I just give up my cdl
Don't involve in road rage.
Remember to stop for a coffee and doughnut..... go safe 🤙✌
Coffee first! Always!!
Diesel fuel weighs 9 lbs a gallon just think 200 gallons that's 1800 lb could easily put your stairs over
Diesel is 7 lbs a gallon and an overweight ticket carries zero points on CSA score. It's just a fine nothing else.
@@mike-sk2li that’s right, do you know how much is a overweight ticket usually?
You guys and gals are truly the best. Thx for the conversion my friend. Yeah it adds up real fast
@@letd1995 I got one in California a few years ago. If I remember it was like 5 cents a pound. The ticket was $60
@@mike-sk2li ah ok thank you. That’s not too terrible the other day I had to avoid a bunch of scales I would have just risked it lol
Bears in the air!
Haha yeah they out there for sure. Mercy sakes we got us a Convoy lol
🐻 👮♂️
Im being forced to drive pass 14 hours on duty. When I refused they don't give me routes.
On your next hometime, clean off the truck and wave bye bye…..
then you quit
@@thisperson6655 a big part of the problem with trucking is that many truckers don’t have the balls to stand up to corporate abuses, call out the bullshit and walk if need be.
After all the B's you'll still get Less than average pay no home time
Hello I just recently obtained my cdl it’s been very hard to find a job due to my MVR I have a Failure to comply felony I’m from Cleveland Ohio do you guys have any companies that’s give second chances
Western express. Butler transport
See if they can get that expunged
Though fill ya in
You don’t wanna get tickets during this slow times. Truckers have stopped on these business already , police should consider some silly ones and let it go .
Don’t feed the bears
Don’t do it!!!
The police is looking for dope head truck drivers.

REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 🔴,.
Only dorks drive truck's.
Only dorks spell "trucks" with an apostrophe.
@@k.c.marshall921 only dorks write rebuttal to 1 year old post. Have your bag of Doritos and Gatorade and go to sleep.your dispatcher has a lot of hot loads for you tomorrow.
@@billz9303 Yeah thanks a lot buddy i hope im not loaded til after the holiday
You don't really think you're not going to produce revenue for your company all weekend do you? They brokered you a load Friday afternoon and ran to the beach ..now you running hard cause it's a HOT LOAD !!! HOT HOT LOAD!!! have a 24 ounce red bull .
Can't we all just smoke a joint and get along... And sing some songs.... And then have a bong..and play some ping pong

Stay out of my way when Iam hungry ! Jk - Are semi trucks really allowed to do 100 mph in CA ? You guys are spoiled rotten - In California putt putt land your lucky to do 64 without any issues
Canada goes by kmh and we do mph here in the u.s.. 100kmh is about 62mph
Yeah we are at 105km/h with speed limiters. But I tell ya back when I ran Texas some of them cattle haulers sucked the decals off my trailer they went by so fast lol 😂
Speed limit in CA is literally 55 mph 😂
