Another ten minutes he told me that I was getting a CVSA sticker. So he was filling out the paper work when he noticed that one of the tabs that holds the strip on top of the frame for the body to come down onto was broken at the weld. I had welded it up before but it just broke again so I left it. So he told me that's OK you're still getting a sticker, just make sure you fix that OK? Kind of the other end of the spectrum I guess.

Every deputy sheriff, state trooper and even the town cops that make minimum wage are getting DOT certified.They have to generate revenue to pay their salaries. Another friend got held up the other day for an hour and fifteen minutes while the Town DOT cop read the DOT manual to find something to cite him for. THese stories are not made up they are real.
