Nope. Violations do not count as points against drivers under CSA. Companies yes. This is not saying it won't show up on you DAC report/State MVR.

And without being able to see inspection, how can he tell what really happened under that trlr during inspection??..... BTW, I couldn't find code 395.42(b) in the book...

This is the problem with CSA, because there is no way to get any relief over something like this.
The dot officer who did the inspection is judge, jury,and executioner.

Oh well 1st violation in 25 years I guess I'm ahead of the game. It was bound to happen eventually.

Non payment? Of what? Now they're just making stuff up.

I use 4 sheets of those cover pieces they book in the log book package and don't get any bleed through.

Hold on I'm laminating my log book......

I'm still trying to figure out how that guy posted the CSA link and thinks the CSA doesn't effect drivers...only carriers!!!!

It's right there on his link!!!!!

Honestly,when I was looking for a new job this spring, things had changed vastly from 2005, because i had a clean record and now it actually MEANS something.
Back then it was " here's the job, here's the #### pay, want it or not?
But, if I have a light out and a smartphone in my truck,now have a 1,000,000 point violation, with a x234565554445666 multiplier, so I'm basically ######.
