By correspondence dated December 15, 2010, D & J Truck Repair received a
notice from the Department of Transportation that the Certificate of Appointment of D &
J Truck Repair as an official safety inspection station is being suspended for four
months, effective January 19, 2011. A true and correct copy of this notice is attached
hereto, labeled Exhibit A, and incorporated herein for informational purposes only. That
is, D & J Truck Repair disputes and contests all factual averments set forth within the
attached Exhibit A notice for those reasons, without limitation, averred hereinafter.
FOURTH
As specifically provided within the attached Exhibit A notice, D & J Truck Repair
has the right to file an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas regarding this four month
suspension.
FIFTH
D & J Truck Repair appeals the said Order of Suspension on grounds which
include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. D & J Truck Repair was never issued a citation alleging any faulty
inspection of equipment or parts, as alleged in the attached Exhibit A notice, most
particularly including a citation alleging a faulty inspection of a 1996 GMC, VIN-
1 GBLP37J4T3311110, AIO-7074400 (the 1996 GMC).
B. D & J Truck Repair was never provided the opportunity for a hearing or
any other form of due process regarding the allegation of faulty inspection of equipment
or parts concerning the 1996 GMC vehicle.
C. As a matter of fact, D & J Truck Repair did not, in any respect, conduct
a faulty inspection of any equipment or parts regarding the alleged 1996 GMC vehicle
or, for that matter, any other vehicle.
D. D & J Truck Repair was issued a single citation alleging "displayed list
of tech's that was not current". A copy of that citation is labeled Exhibit B, attached
hereto, and incorporated herein for informational purposes only. In fact, as set forth on
Exhibit C, attached hereto, a few of the certificate expiration dates for the D & J Truck
Repair technicians were not appropriately "updated". However, according to the
schedule of penalties as published by the Department (Exhibit D, attached), it appears
that the violation by D & J Truck Repair for not updating the list of repair technicians
does not constitute the type of "fraudulent record keeping" or the type of "improper
record keeping" which calls for a suspension, as opposed to a warning for the first
offense.
E. D & J Truck Repair was denied due process of law, in that no citation
was issued or hearing was held regarding the alleged violation for faulty inspection of
equipment and/or parts.
F. The suspension is against the evidence and/or the weight of the
evidence with respect to the violations alleged, as well as the law and the regulations
published by the Department of Transportation.
G. The suspension is excessive and constitutes an abuse of discretion, in
light of the facts and the regulations published by the Department of Transportation.
SIXTH
D & J Truck Repair respectfully requests the Court enter a supersedeas staying
the suspension until the Court makes a full and final determination of the suspension
directed by the Department of Transportation, and in support of that request for
supersedeas states the following:
A. D & J Truck Repair employs a total of nine employees, and if this
suspension occurs for four months at least two, and perhaps three, employees must be
laid off.
B. D & J Truck Repair performs approximately 110, or more, inspections
each month. Therefore, it can be seen that a substantial portion of the business of this
company involves performing inspections.
C. Some of the companies for which D & J Truck Repair performs
inspections on a regular basis include the following: Adams Electric Company,
Comcast, D.L. Martin Trucking, H.J. Tanner, Cumberland Valley Co-op, John H. Myers
Company, LamTech, and Specialty Carriers. Ceasing inspection operations for four
months may possibly impact these additional businesses.
D. D & J Truck Repair will incur a very substantial loss of income if it's
inspection license is suspended for four months.
E. D & J Truck Repair has been in business for more than twenty-three
(23) years, and has never had its inspection certification certificate suspended.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the Court enter an Order granting
this appeal, removing the suspension and striking same, and also, enter an Order
superseding and suspending revocation of the inspection license of D & J Truck Repair
until a full and final determination of the matters set forth in this appeal (supersedeas).

qualified for reappointment.
You have the right to appeal this Departmental Order of Suspension to the Court of Common Pleas of the County in which

ORDER. If you do file an appeal, a signed and time-stamped copy of the appeal must be served upon the Department at
the mailing address listed below. FILING OF AN APPEAL DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STAY THE
SUSPENSION. In order for your privileges to be restored pending appeal, a signed Order of Supersedeas from the Court
directing the Department to stay the suspension must be served upon the Department at the mailing address listed below.
