A Washington State trooper pulled over a truck driver in November.No CDL, no medical card, no log book, and mechanical issues on the truck.The trooper looked him in his eye and said, you don't have a commercial driver's license, you don't have a medical card, and you don't have a log book.You can't drive.She gave him $1 ,000 worth of tickets.
