Got into a D.O.T. Check on I-17 in Arizona. This overzealous cop had nothing on me. He ask for my fuel slips, they matched my logbook so I gave them to him. So he calls the Strafford TA and the Gallup, NM TA says he's a cop and both truckstops just told him. They gave up that information without knowing if he even was who he said he was. I talked to this cop's supervisor and he said"All they have to say is no, they are under no obligation over the phone to tell us. "Now according to who ever this cop talked to my time was off by a few hours. Well thanks to theTA truckstops and a cop that just had to write a ticket, I got a $900.00 fine (yes you read that right) Nine Hundred Dollars! Also in Arizona logbook violations are charged as criminal traffic. I don't have a criminal record but I will. An attorney I talked to thats worked that court in Cottonwood, Az. Said with a CDL most likely they will refuse to even here this case. So thanks to the no privacy policy of Travel Centers Of America this is gonna get costly. I talked to customer service at TA, they listened to the story and said someone would be in touch with me... Never happened. The damage is done but next time one of you drivers fuel at TA remember your privacy means nothing... Just your money!!
