Size and Weight violations.

It shouldn't. Most states don't put them on your regular record but Alabama will

 

Since the violation is on the inspection then, yes, it will go against your CSA.

 

I know Virginia and Florida will have it on your drivers record, takes 7 years for it to come off. This happened before all the CSA riff raff and is off my record now.

I checked my CSA and have nothing on record and have had some overweight fines in the last few years, I think it may or may not show depending on how it is handled by the agency.

 

If there is an inspection and it is noted on the inspection you are going to get some points. That is considered a violation. If you get stopped for an inspection and the officer notes that the reason he stopped you was because you were speeding and he just gives you a verbal warning on the speeding and you get a clean inspection,you still get CSA points because he noted the speeding. Anytime they fill out the inspection form and note a violation whether you get a ticket or not you get CSA points.

 

I have a friend that has 18 points on his csa score just for a headlight out. It's normally 6 points but he saw 18 points and called to complain. They told him the first offense was 3x the amount.

This needs to be changed. The rumor is that the reason they do this is a farmer was claiming harassment by Iowa DOT a few years ago, and the farmer raised all sorts of cain about it.
