He might be able to claim the tire jumped the bead en routebut hadn't blown yet so he somehow didn't hear the constant slapping noise but I dunno. Either way his company will likely blame him for the out of service and subsequent contact truck they have to send out
It's really sad just how shit yalls reading comprehension and understanding of FMCSA and DOT inspections are.
These aren't citations. There's no fine. They are simply violations. And only one was OOS. Outside of DataQ there's no option to fight these, and good luck getting them to even look at a DataQ for these unless you have clear and overwhelming evidence the inspector was wrong.
Not sure how many points the DOT number violation is, but I've seen drivers with far more violations and ones that are more clearly safety issues keep their jobs or even be fine getting hired elsewhere, although their options were certainly limited.
Just had a company driver get a violation for PSI. PSI was at 85, visible screw puncturing the tire between treads and you could feel the air coming out. This was during an inspection at a CHP inspection point.
Driver was about 150 miles into a 200 mile run. I am sure the screw was picked up from the hwy within 10 miles of the inspection. Of course the tire was repaired before leaving but pretty shitty of the officer to stick it to us like that.
This really isn't a big deal unless you're trying to get a sensitive job at a place with a really good CSA score. Any safety sensitive company is going to assume it's his fault and others are gonna assume stuff happens.
