Got a written warning, what now?

If you look, the first four of those are Examinations.

 

OK I have to hit the road but I will be back to perform a Level 1 Examination on this thread later.

 

"Includes an examination"

Examination being an action taken during an inspection... Reading is FUNdamental. Swift training not withstanding.

 

SWIFT- Sure Wish I Finished Training
SWIFT- Slow Wagons In Fast Traffic
SWIFT - Stop Whining, I'm Frickin Trying
Swift- swing wide its a friggin truck
Swift- still wish I had a faster truck
SWIFT= See What I Fried Today

 

Keep right on asking those questions. ALL of us learn from each other when good questions like yours are asked. However the subject of your question is full of trucker myths and of course you seen them on display in this thread.

 

That's not completely true. A judge may be the only one that can "legally" rip up a ticket but I'll just have to take the 5th on that one.

It is getting harder and harder to have tickets "taken care of" though due to computers and everything is entered almost instantly. It a lot easier to "misplace" a piece of paper that it is to get into a computer system and change info.

As to the OP, this will not be on the CSA. As has already been said, a inspection has to take place before CSA points are issued.

For those that claim to have gotten points without inspection, I'd like to know you USDOT number so I can look it up and see for myself. All data on the CSA is linked to a inspection report.

 

It's just a warning, I still advocate telling the boss. What is the boss and that chip meet at the moose Lodge or the vfw?

It will improve you credibility and trustworthiness. Or they fire you, better to find out now they suck rather than later when something else happens.

 

I actually am an advocate of just putting that piece of paper in a trash can or framing it and just forgetting about it. Not telling your employer is not being dishonest. Sometimes there are things you should talk about and sometimes there are things best just forgot about. A warning without an accompanying inspection is nothing. It is an officer giving you a break and not making a case. There is just nothing to be gained by telling your local safety guru hey I got stopped doing 80 in a 55 but the officer gave me a warning so all is OK. By doing this depending on the person in safety you might get written up. Getting written up could later find it's way to a new prospective employer. Don't believe the myth's quoted here about an old employer's and what they can or not report about. If it is the truth they can just about say anything. Here is an example of how you could get into serious trouble reporting these warnings. Lets say you drive for Mack's Hauling and inform your safety person that you got a warning and they write you up. Now the next week you are doing 65 in a 55 on a state highway somewhere and hit a car killing all the people inside it. How much you want to bet that write up will be part of the discovery when a lawsuit is filed?
