False log violation

DOT does not need a reason to stop a CMV. If you were put out of service, that will really screw up you score with only one truck. You might find it hard to get loads.
To help that you are going to need more passing inspections.

 

Probably not in the short run.

 

Insurance I don't know for sure, I would guess they might look at that, but again I don't know for sure. Getting pulled in to scales would depend if you go over or close to the national average score. Don't get discouraged, just keep trucking legally to bring score down. If you don't have prepass I would strongly recommend it, but then I don't know how that works hauling cars. I know with prepass if you are oversized or hazmat you still have to stop at scales even with a green light on prepass. Also in Florida you must stop at agriculture inspection even with prepass, unless you get aprovale from Florida. I just got approved from Florida this week.

 

OOS goes onto a Motor Carrier Record by DOT MC Number. Anyone doing research for your particular trucking company will now be able to find at least one OOS listed among the violations etc. The really important thing without saying is staying put until your penalty OOS is timed out before moving.

 

What was the log entry that got the violation?

 

So what was the violation? You didn't log the pickup?

 

You’ll be alright. Don’t worry about it. Just stop in every now and then when Youre headed home from your trip and get a level 1 inspection ( if your truck is ready for 1) and it’ll help you.

Also the reason you got stopped is because you’re a car hauler they catch a lot of cars with drugs and Other illegal things in the cars being trailered
