Cop doesn't like black smoke

Started new job yesterday pulling dump trailer. Signed on with company in New york , they sent me to Niagara Falls to load and on my way back a local Hamburg cop pulled me over and told me I must be awful heavy or there was something wrong with my truck I had black smoke blowing everywhere when I took off. Felt like telling him pretty cool ain't it but I don't think he had a sense of humor.He called in a DOT cop and he had to go over it. Wanted to know what was wrong with it why it smoked and if it was running ok. I told nothing wrong and it runs real good. I had just taped my signs on drivers door till I got home and the prick wrote me a ticket because I didn't have one on other door. It had rained and was dirty so I wanted to clean them up first. It's all about the money.

we had one of our kenworths pulled off the road for excess smoke....mine,,,had to get a letter from kenworth stating there was nothing wrong with the truck,,,and it was doing what it was supposed to do,,,tale it to DMV,,for reregistration,,,more balony...bob

My B isn't quite so bad, but you can get it to huff if you swat the pedal. Granted, mine has two stacks so it kinda thins it out between the two.

Think back a few years with all the 237 and 285 powered dumps were running. They would darken the road when they took off with a load. Many dumps had weedburner exhausts to boot. Pretty sure that is a big NO NO these days.

Who you running for out of NF.and were to hamburg

I'm on with Fullone Trucking out of North Collins Ny.When the local cop left he told me to get the manifold cleaned out so it would quit smoking. I just looked at him and thought what a dumbass.

Fullone had many brockway years ago. You hauling gravel.

I saw one at the garage the day I signed on had a snowplow on it . Don't know if they still use it or not. I'll try to get a picture next time I'm there. They haul a little bit of everything. I'll be running between Pittsburgh/ East Liverpool to Buffalo/ Hamilton, On. area.

I might see you on rt.11 or 80 or 79 sometime, I travel that part of the world pretty often.
