    You must have missed @ZVar post up above. You as a driver don’t accumulate CSA points. All your next employer will do is pull your PSP report before they hire you, and there are no points on that. It will simply list the violations you have received.

    Your PSP will list any inspections you have in the past three years, including the ones with no violations.

    These LLC's are pretty cagey passing it on to a family member. They run safe equipment or i wouldn't be driving it. Nothings perfect but i average twice as much as a good week OTR with Millis so i can live with a BS ABS light that every old timer i have run across claims is pointless, the johnny bar saves your butt in a pickle and not trailer abs. I hope to never have to test that.

    The cracked airline is on me even though it only hissed when he wiggled it. Honestly i'm glad he caught it. Passed leakdown.

    The overweight on farm pickup is what really chaffs my butt along with non-registration of tractor. They actually had both permit and registration and they just weren't in the tractor/trailer. Again you can argue i could have turned the load down but i actually like my job and know what their answer would have been.

    I'm thankful for the job and opportunity. Lesson Learned. Six more months the answer will be nope.
