Driver/Vehicle Examination Report Level I-Full

Something like that happened to me at the scale on I-77 S in Bland VA. Checked my log book, said it was impeccable, then the truck. Said the antilock brake light on the trailer wasn't working properly and I had a marker light on the rear not working. After he wrote his report I checked and everything was working. I didn't go back inside to confront him. No fine, only a write- up on the inspection report. This was before CSA.

 

true. by the way, i had a similar inspection once. got put out of service, till fixed (so, spent a couple hours by scales). just like in truckman's case - no tickets issued. basically, the truck broke down right in front of dot inspector as he was inspecting it. so, he understood. a serious breakdown, not a light bulb. all was reflected on the report and caused me not one point. best was to ask that inspector, in my opinion. but since he didn't ask, just wait for now and see. normally broken lights cause quite a few points, but who knows...my issue was waaaay deeper then lights, yet no points

 

It's a common misconception that violations received as a result of roadside inspections can 'mar' your license. Inspection violations will NOT affect your CDL in any way.

 

it will affect cdl in round about way to many csa points nobody hire you cdl although good its usless

 

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure. Any infraction means something on CSA. Is that right?

 

if insp.was done it goes on csa

 

True.But in a round about way it will black ball drivers from getting employment with to many CSA Points...We have a ''report card'' now...

 

The inspection report needs to go to your carrier and they will sign off on it, not you.

Keep a copy of it for your records, do not send it to your company without you keeping a copy.

The log violation is something you need to watch, don't be in a hurry.

The light thing you can't help but the light has to be replaced, not just the bulb.
