Hello
I just started driving CMV solo and I was totally confused when DOT stopped me for passing the weight station. I told him I honestly did not know that I was supposed to stop with an empty trailer. He told me to turn around and return to the inspection station and I did. He began to write up the report and told me to sign it. The ticket said failure to stop at inspection station and I said I did not know I had to stop so failure was not a good term to use. After I received my ticket, he laughed and said "I got another for not stopping" I turned around and said this is not a joke I could get terminated from my job with this this ticket and he said "well" and walked off. This was very unprofessional and rude when DOT brag about giving out tickets and laughing about the situation. This is my first citation and I need help getting this ticket reduced or dismissed. Also, something needs to be done about DOT remarks to me... Please help thank u
