\\nFrom Giving Tickets
\\nto Giving Advice
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nJeff has given his fair share of Level 1 inspections \\u2013 he
\\nspent 34 years in the Wisconsin State Patrol as a trooper, then a sergeant, and
\\nfinally an investigator with the motor carrier enforcement unit.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nHear how his experience doling out tickets set him up to
\\nbecome a risk advisor with HNI. He\\u2019s changed from maintaining order through

\\nKeys to a Stress-Free
\\nInspection
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nJeff shares how to keep an inspection \\u201cboring\\u201d \\u2013 just the
\\nway it should be. Because the only one who may enjoy an \\u201cexciting\\u201d inspection
\\nis the officer getting a break from an otherwise mundane shift!

\\nsure!

\\n* \\u201cI try to tell them to be prepared by doing all the things you can ahead of time. Do your good walkarounds; make sure your pre-trips are quality pre-trips \\u2013 not just walking around the truck. So that you\\u2019re comfortable with the fact that everything\\u2019s working on your truck that you have control over.”* \\u201cIf you\\u2019re more organized it makes that contact with the officer boring \\u2013 and that\\u2019s what you want! You want a boring contact.\\u201d* \\u201cI enjoy coming down here because this is truly best in class. A lot of people claim to be best in class, but this is best in class.\\u201d* \\u201cAnd I thought, \\u2018Is this a miniature person jumping out at me?\\u2019\\u201d* \\u201cIf you do your walk around or if you check those lights every once in a while or leave that phone alone \\u2013 all those things, if you just do those little things right, there\\u2019s a better chance that you\\u2019re not going to have an issue or problem. But we sometimes get complacent.\\u201d
