    Hi Drivers,

    If you had a DOT inspection & it hasn’t shown up on your PSP, what can you do?
    I had a Level II Hazmat inspection on 8/14/2019
    I also had a Level III inspection on 8/28/2019.
    The Level III has posted- no violations.
    That Level II Hazmat inspection - no violations, looks really good when you are wanting to move to a company that hauls Hazmat all the time, not sporadically. Paperwork handed over to carrier, I only have the location, date / time when Inspection was done. Thank you for any answers you can provide.

    Keep copies.

    Having copies is a hell of alot better to show than saying I got this or that some time ago.

    I think you'll find they're not good at posting good stuff about you.
    That's not what they're about.
    They're real good at posting bad stuff. Even making stuff sound bad. So far as making things up that are fictional.
    It's because they exist to take the responsibility off the companies. Put it all on the drivers.

    Company didn’t give a #### about the no violations on hazmat inspection. Knowing #### well their scores weren’t the best in that area..

    Of course it does, I thought to ask, & I didn’t. Lesson learned. I really didn’t think that it was even a possibility it wouldn’t post.

    The level III no violations shows up & I got that one after. Companies / drivers don’t always see the pride you put into your work, I’m not perfect. There’s no way to say that you care about what you do more than a no violations inspection. #### them!!

    Quite the opposite. The company wants a no violation report. That's the only way to bring down a bad CSA score.
    As for it not showing on the PSP, yea that's weird. Could be the officer doesn't like doing whatever paperwork is required and just lets in sit on the desk. I thought it was 'live' once the office put it in their computer and printed out the form, but maybe not.
