As we all know the DOT can come from anywhere right, well I went to cover a run for a driver on vacation and started in Indy them to Carmel and had the last 2 drops in Bloomington, A nice quick run. I had visions of sitting at home under the AC when low and behold here comes the police car state kind. Well as asked before if you wear a seat belt, I said no LOL. Well after I got pulled over to the side of State route 37N I saw no copper so on went the seat belt real quick. Bear walks around my truck looking and sniffing then he does the reefer the same, finding nothing he beats on the pass. door and I yelled it is unlocked but does he open it? Nope I take the belt and lean my fat ass over and open the damn door. The first thing out of his mouth is give me the log book and I said you really don't want to see it why don't you take a break and let me catch it up. Nope so I told him that I have all times and places on my route sheet ok he said, he looked and said well you are ok here you had your 34, whee I says, now you got last months? As I hand it to him I see I had forgotten to finish the 31st. But kiddies I found the one and only DOT Cop that told me to just catch them up and do it while he ran my MVR. I have seen the light I will keep that damn funny book up to the minute from now on, the man cut me a lot of slack and I will never get caught short like that ever. Damn long story just to say I passed the DOT inspection.
