    Photo attached shows I got 2 violations and only the lane restriction was included in the “sms” and I only received the 3 csa points for the lane violation.

    does this mean the other violation was a warning and no points?

    Never saw an out of service item NOT included...I think they are backwards; the lane violation was for a local [cali] violation and probably should not have been included...

    I’m guessing bc it was just a verbal warning maybe he just told me to tighten one thing up

    NO, out of service means a large red sticker in you windshield requiring immediate repair, etc and adds extra points on the carrier'z SMS for that violation. As I mentioned, I've only seen 'local' laws, like improper lane change, etc. not included while a federal securement violation that is 'out of service' is always listed. the points would be much more than what you said so I'd leave it alone.

    I don't think the inspector was cutting you a break so it might have been accidental on his part.
