    I recently got my FMCSA Report and found it does not show the ticket I received for driving without a registration. I got the ticket about 8 months ago at an Oregon scale so I kind of expected it to be on my report by now. perhaps it is on my Oregon MVR instead? The report shows my accident from 3 years ago, 2 NO-OOS violations for inoperable lights and several passed inspections.

    Ive search the net for the past few days and haven't really found anything too useful. I've found posts and articles explaining how drivers were placed Out Of Service until they got the new updated registration. That is not what happened to me though. All I got was a ticket.

    The only thing I can think of is that I was possible in a grace period since the company changed its name the previous week. The tractor and trailer were registered under the new name. however, the tractor still had the old name on it and the plates and registration docs had not been switched.

    I want to start looking for a new job but figure I should know what sort of state my PSP, MVR and DAC are in first.

    Driving without a valid registration in a 18 wheeler is very difficult for me to understand. Maybe you paid the fine on the ticket (Pleading guilty) and the courts consider the problem closed. If not. you can probably expect some sort of bench warrant in Oregon to be fetched to the court and 'splain to a judge why you aint taken care of the ticket all these months.

    I don't know anything about grace period. If you were Pineapple trucking last week and started work after repainting your truck and trailer for say... Georgia overdrive express you are going to collect tickets if they had something to give you first day on monday if you broke a rule somewhere.

    You will want to be sure that if you are not going to use a tag etc you turn that back into the State. If you do not for example do this for a year, the state will demand thousands of dollars in fines against you and demand the tag. Particularly if you are no longer in possesion of the vehicle or using it. Which means you probably have insurance snafus among other problems that is a barrel of monkeys wanting to escape.

    All you have to worry about is your DAC (Hireright) and any privately held databases based on the model of Dac (Covenant and 15 other carriers cooperate in this, they can maintain your files longer than you are alive, while DAC is by Law needed to erase after 10 years) and your MVR from the home state along with your current Medical DOT card that is valid.

    FMCSA has the power upon review to revoke, suspend or some other action against you. I would caution you to be very careful indeed before you climb those marble steps on the hill to wake them up with a minor no reg ticket problem.

    Why? Who is feeding you that garbage? Look, if you have a CDL start putting in applications and be honest on them. Bottom line here is go to work. Your butt is needed in a truck somewhere.

    As to that missing charge, who cares? List it anyway. Bottom line you are hirable, now go get a job and stop worrying about things that quite possibly will never happen!

    HOWEVER! Stop operating any CMV without visually verifying ALL the legals are up to date and is otherwise safe.

    A PSP report will only show when and where you had a DOT inspection done in the last 3 years and what was written up on the DOT inspection.

    Not hard at all to understand why you don't have it here in Virginia. As a matter of fact from my experience the DOT and local police will give you a brake on it here why.

    Application takes 4 to 8 weeks to approve at the DMV.. Every time they find something wrong, and they always do, you start all over again 4 to 8 weeks.
    Then you pay $1500.

    Your good it's not a moving or safety violation. I lost mine and couldn't pull it up online at a weight station, got a ticket paid it and it's all good .
