    My overweight most certainly went on my inspection WHEN the csa bs started.

    The date of event happened 30 months BEFORE csa started. And was on record the remaining 6 months.

    My psp has never come with a score.

    Why can't, people, see this post # 4 and understand it? If you look close enough this question is answered. Here I will help you out! This is FROM the FMCSA!

    For this overweight to even GET to the feds it has to be listed on an inspection report. Look back at what I posted. It clearly says these violations will be cited. The FMCSA does NOT any longer place overweight tickets into the Cargo Basic. They are still cited and addressed if there is an investigation.

    Since they are not counted in the Cargo Basic they are also NOT counted in the PSP either. They may be listed, but there is no "score".

    OVERWEIGHT DOES NOT AFFECT CSA, PERIOD!


    Edited: As far as the driving record goes, it depends on the state. In the US most states do NOT consider overweight a moving violation. To fully answer that question the question MUST be narrowed to an actual state. Blanket statements on this MVR topic can't be answered.

    But the real question is. If you’re not overweight, will you have anything to worry about?

    Ok, so I got pulled over today at the eastern Oklahoma scale. I'm Hauling a load of RxR Ties. Drives were almost 5k over. Got a level 2 inspection. Only thing that came out of it was violation for overweight. No citation. I've been trying to find out how many points it is against my CSA, but no luck. Can anyone help me out?
