QUESTION ABOUT CSA VIOLATION

Did he make you snug it up before you were able to roll? You are talking about the one on the road coming out of the brake chamber right? I don't know as far as fighting it, I'm sure someone will know.

 

No reason to, does not matter ... just get on down the road

 

I dont know but 1, yes its part of the pre-trip, but then so is everything else. But I dont think its that major. 2 no its part of your pre-trip or lack there of. The point is to get you to remember to check it, I am sure you will.

 

It's a minor thing. Nothing really to worry about.

The only person who can fight this infraction for you is your safety director, and all he can do is write a letter challenging the infraction. After he does that CHP will simply ignore his letter and the matter will never come up again.

Over time, and should you receive a clean level one inspection, your CSA points will fall to zero again.

So, just pay attention to your equipment and maybe have one of your company's shop mechanics look at your truck and trailer whenever you are in the yard.

 

You don’t get CSA points, your company does. Fighting something this minor is useless. You admitted it was loose, so there’s nothing really to contest. Every part of the truck and trailer is included in the pretrip, it’s up to you to make sure everything is as it should be before you take off in the morning. Sometimes that includes putting on some coveralls and getting under your truck and trailer.

 

You're gonna be ok.
