    What happened to this concept that a driver is solely responsible for the truck they are driving?

    Every driver needs to understand if the truck is falling apart and has obvious violations, they are not to drive the thing.

    I would rather be fired for a refusal than to deal with the dot on any issue like this. And believe me I have refused to drive a lot of customers trucks in the past three years.

    So personal csa scores are still available but they already did away with public company csa scores? I just did a search on a few companies on the .gov site and none are available to the public, last month they were, what gives.

    If your a company driver nothing goes on your record, it goes on the company. Drivers do not have a CSA score, only a company does.

    No such thing as a personal CSA score.

    Yep. As long as they don't view it as the vague and oh so frequently used "obstructing" (read contempt of cop) and decide to take you to jail. That'll purty much ruin your week... ;)

    They are just hiding certain info from the general public.

    It won't do you any good. Once that inspection form listing the violation is filed it almost takes an act of congress to walk it back. You can fight the ticket but there is no mechanism in place to fight the "form".

    He's a company driver. The ticket or violation is against the company, not him. He cannot fight it, only the company can.
