Yet, there are some truck drivers who are not paying enough attention and time on maintaining their cabs. Due to that truckers when selected for DOT inspection might encounter few problems.
DOT inspectors don’t like to look at your cab and see a jungle. Truck drivers should never ever leave their cabs look bad and smell bad.
Keeping items of trash or bags is both not hygienic and can lead to illnesses.
Moreover, DOT inspectors can end up with a conclusion that the truck driver is not spending a fair amount of time to clean his own truck as well as that he is not keeping after the trucking company to fix things.
Thanks to these impressions the DOT inspectors often think that the chances for them to find something wrong with the truck are high.
