CSA 2010: The data

DataQ is the website but I was told my safety director has to file my case.slackers that they are it isnt happening

 

A DataQs challenge is SOLELY the individual's responsibility!

 

apparently you havent looked at the dataQ form.When I was telling the safety director that I needed the company's dot imfo that was when I was told he had to do it.Its another bull crap government regulation that keeps the drivers from doing what they was told was simple to do.

 

That's right!

I filed a Challenge via that DataQ in the FMCSA website and my company did the same. We are challenging data in my Vehicle Inspection Report.

Anyone can do it. First, you gotta register on the FMCSA website. You will need your company DOT number besides other info.

You can upload pictures, pdf, doc, and many kinds of format files with your challenge. Then, you will have a Challenge ID # you can use everytime you want to check the status of your challenge or add something else, etc.

I also called DOT. They are aware of my challenge and will review it.

Stay on top of it. Take control. It's your CDL.

You should know your company's DOT number. If not, I know there's a website where you can find DOT numbers of companies.... can't remember the name now but someone here may.... Good luck.

 

So you have to have the DOT number of your current company, which may or may not have one, or the company you worked for when the incident happened?

 

I think you do have to have the DOT number. A company without a DOT number???

 

Hard to miss it if it is on your door!

 

Yeah, I thought that too.... there's a site you can get a snapshot of almost every company out there. It has a concise electronic record of a company’s identification, size, commodity information, and safety record, including the safety rating (if any), a roadside out-of-service inspection summary, and crash information. You can do your query by entering DOT number, MC/MX number or company name

I looked at my PSP and it said no crash or inspection results found. Been drivin off and on since '01, so hopefully that's a good thing lol.

 

I WON MY CHALLENGE!!! Well, it was a pretty silly thing but had I not done any thing, would have gained 3 pts on my CSA card. I challenged the data on my Vehicle Inspection Report. Officer had given me violation for 2 little chips on windshield...
A couple days prior to that I had asked company to fix those and was told they were not violations cause were not on my line of sight...
Well, I took pics of those chips, with tape, ruler, every possible angle and sent to FMCSA with my challenge after I got the violation. Actually, the chips were smaller than what the law permits and that was my argument.
My company also filed a challenge but theirs was closed and no action was taken. While mine was closed and DOT fixed their mistake.
I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES THEY WERE ERRONEOUSLY CHARGED WITH A VIOLATION THEY DON'T DESERVE TO CHALLENGE FMCSA. ALSO CALL DOT, BE PERSISTENT, MAKE YOUR CASE, DON'T LET IT GO UNCHALLENGED.
