Default If the DOT really cared about safety

WHY would they stop me and do an inspection in the emergency lane of I-65 at 8:30 in the morning when I was hauling 3000 gallons of sulfuric acid?? He endangered HOW MANY LIVES??
The ONLY reason for the stop was to do an inspection, he stated " you werent doing anything wrong, I am just going to do a quick inspection.
The only thing he found was the company owner forgot to put my truck on KYU list, of course he HAD to write it up as a warning. He says it wont count against me, I say B.S.

You must feel so much safer since he inspected your truck, Fredog.

I assume that the owner didn't have a KYU number. A KYU is a weight distance tax license issued by the state of Kentucky.

yes, we have a KYU number and all of the other trucks are listed, he just forgot to add mine when I leased on.
