    What do you want to do....pay to get a warning dropped? It goes on your CSA score, but CSA is turning out to be unreliable , so what does it matter?

    Chock it up as a learning experience. There's nothing you can do about a warning. Slow it down next time.
     
    Golga Thanks this.

    Lucky chap. Slow her down next time. Nothing wrong with going 5 under the speed limit - Prime does it all the time.

    I ran to Chicago every week years ago. I remember local drivers talking about somehow paying the ticket and keeping it off theyre driving record. Don't recall if they contested the ticket or what, would be nice to hear from a local Chicago driver. In my area that CSA score and DAT is meaningless to most decent employers, large fleets make there decisions based on that kind of bs!

    A warning also goes on your employers CSA score so they might say something to you.
     
    Golga and Mr.X Thank this.

    I think some cops might think they are letting a driver off easy and do not realize they are going to cause problems. Might be a good idea for a driver with a clean record to point out that the warning will still be recorded!
    Good info GM!
     
    Golga and NavigatorWife Thank this.

    Schneider does it 10 under depending upon the limit...

    Prime is slower than us though off the cruise.

    Slow it down... the one good thing I'll say about being limited at 60 is that it teaches you some serious patience. Live, and remember to learn.
     
    Golga Thanks this.
