The first and foremost duty of truck mechanics is to:

• Inspect and diagnose the trucks;
• Repair the: brake systems, engines, electrical components, steering system, transmission, tires;

In general, truck mechanics are in charge of the diagnostic tests and the routine use of computerized equipment. As well as to drive the trucks before and after the repair process is being finished.

At first sight, the profession of truck mechanics seems to be pretty much humble. But, unfortunately, these days we can hear a lot of myths about truck mechanics becoming dishonest, that in most cases turn out to be more likely a reality than a myth.

Not all truck mechanics and repair shops were created to be equal.

There are some truck mechanics and repair shops offering extraordinary repair services, whereas on the opposite side there are a lot of truck mechanic scammers.

Class 8 trucks that have a weight rating of more than 10.001 pounds are required to undergo inspection every year. These inspections are regulated and conducted by the Department of Transportation-DOT.

The aim of the DOT inspection is to make sure that the truck, all truck parts of the commercial motor vehicle are in the best working condition. The DOT requires inspection of the truck driver as well.

In general there are six levels of the DOT inspection.

Thereupon, the truck drivers who are performing pre-trip inspections on a regular basis and are using electronic logging devices are the ones that tend to do very well on DOT inspections.

Mainly it is so, because the electronic logging devices are making inspections safer, faster and more efficient, both for the truck driver and for the DOT inspector.

In addition, electronic logging devices are eliminating the form and manner violations- featuring missing dates, locations, total miles and the HOS violations.

Henceforth, truck drivers by following all the rules and regulations can drastically reduce the violations that they can potentially receive.

Truck driving in winter is actually a very open ended statement. It is relative to where you are at and to what conditions you are used to.

It depends on what the weather patterns are like. It will depend on the type and size of your load, too. There are many factors to consider.

After all, winter driving in Up-State New York is not the same as Southern California.

Nor is Seattle, Washington like Miami, Florida. Billings Montana and Fargo Minnesota are nothing like Kansas City, Missouri or Dallas, Texas.

I could keep going with comparisons, because even St Louis and Chicago, which are less than 5 hours apart, have different weather.

It is easy for someone to not be able to relate. More than likely someone from Anchorage, Alaska might laugh at what they call snow in Little Rock, Arkansas.

However, that doesn’t mean they are prepared for black ice on west Interstate 70 or the winter rain of Houston, Texas; and they are definitely not ready for ice road truck driving in Northern Canada or Alaska’s Bush either!!!

Remember back when we were kids, winter was a magical time of year. It didn’t matter if you lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains or Hanalei Bay in Hawaii. It was the time of magic and Santa.

For those of us who lived in the places that get snow, it was also time of snowmen, snowball fights, and snow angels!

Well ok, there are awards and other forms of recognition and we could just go off of that. But just like any award winning (“La La Lend”) there are those who agree, and those who don’t think that the right choice was made.

Just look at the Oscars, or the Grmmys, or other talent related award show. Have you agreed with each and every film voted best picture? Did you rush and buy what was voted the number one album? When was the last time a trucker movie was voted for best picture? Or a trucker song was voted best?

You may or may not agree, but you understand what I am saying! One of the things that make USA strong is our ability to choose, regardless what others might say. Sometimes we choose wisely and sometimes we don’t, but the choice is yours. After all, the legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho, The Birds) stated that ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ was one of his favorites.
