If they wanna peek in your cab, you best roll out the red carpet

DOT’s got more rights than a trucker at a buffet.

Just hope they don’t find your secret snack stash

That means they have nothing better to do than to snoop around your stuff. If you refuse, they can call their buddies and have a party in your truck.

Yes, they have the right to go through your truck if they have probable cause. That means they have a reason to suspect you’re violating the law or hiding something. If you refuse, they can call the state troopers and search your truck anyway

They can check for safety violations, contraband, or anything else that might be illegal. You can refuse to consent, but they might still search your truck if they have a warrant or a reasonable suspicion.

Yes, they do have the right to go through your truck if they have probable cause or your consent.

It depends on the situation and the state you’re in.

In my 10 years of experience I've never had one come inside the truck.

Yes. They can fully search your truck along with all of your personal belongings. And before people start saying they have to have a warrant, no they do not.
