Overweight and OOS

The same points awarded to a company under the CSA program are also awarded to the driver, as a part of the PSP. Ergo, if an inspection produces points, both the company and a driver are dinged. Call it what you want.

Did the scale house do a DOT Inspection? If they did not do a inspection there are no CSA points assigned to your company and no recording of the violation on your PSP record. Just the ticket.

 

Ok fine. Some have the terminology wrong but THERE IS a driver score. PSP. It works very similar to the way the CSA score worked for carriers

 

I think the bigger issue is not the worthless CSA points but how a driver can act like being overweight by 5k isn't more important.

 

So your not over gross, your over on your axles?

 

It was your responsibility to scale the load and know where you are going. Now if you knew you were overweight and let your company know via Qualcomm and they told you to roll with it you may have a case for the company to pay it.

 

Being overweight goes on your DAC now? WOW that's a new one
