The first time I saw that dark grey F250 or 350 with LED lights in the front and rear windows, it was between Cacouna and Riviere du Loup, on A-20. Last week coming back from Port-Cartier, I saw it again getting off the Tadoussac ferry boat.
I don’t know about you, but, I have my concerns stopping my truck, if I was asked by an unmarked pick-up truck with only red flashing lights and tinted windows. With all that is going on in the industry, how many drivers ended up in the bunk, tied-up and some with injuries because thieves had eyes on their loads.
The S.A.A.Q. is part of Quebec Ministry of Transport. Maybe we should let know Minister Boulet about this as a safety issue for drivers. Why does the S.A.A.Q. feels the need to intercept trucks for inspections with unmarked vehicles? That the Society has unmarked vehicles are not an issue for inspectors traveling to companies. Even, it would leave more interceptors available for road side inspections.
I don’t want to give any ideas to nobody but, it would be easy to have a truck stopped by whoever molest the driver and leave with the load. Most professional drivers knows here in Quebec that unmarked police interceptors have red and blue lights, and are Ford Crown Vic’s, Chargers or Impalas.
Why not let know to the Minister what you think about this by using this link
