    On a related note, I have a question. Seems like I heard this somewhere and hopefully I understood correctly.

    Inspections a driver gets affect the current carrier's score. However those inspections (good or bad) that end up on a driver's PSP will not carry over and affect a future carrier if the driver changes jobs in the future. Does this sound right?

    However, I understand a carrier can place an emphasis on a new driver applicant's PSP activity (gained driving for past carriers) and use this to determine a driver's past inspection experience. Having a bunch of clean inspections certainly helps improve your image, and conversely, if you have a number of inspection problems, this may be a hindrance to the driver applicant, depending on what he/she's compared against.

    You want as many clean inspections as you can. This helps the company scores.

    It also proves you've been out there busy pulling freight up and down the roads in a safe manner. Hard to question a driver's experience level of he's got 9 clean inspections in the past 3 years.

    Does your PSP show all inspections or only violations? Asking because I’ve never checked mine.

    Why not get a copy? It's free if you obtain it via the Freedom of Information Act.

    It’s shows inspections dates and locations, level performed, and their disposition (no violations, violations noted and listed, etc)

    Because the last time I was inspected was September of 2015 in Vicksburg MS and I won’t be going to work anywhere that will care about it so it was easier to just ask.

    It's on your PSP.
