    Correct, I did not receive a citation. Instead, I received the 15 over violation on a level iii inspection.

    If it were me and with a family to support, I wouldn't say anything.
    I quit the company because I need a change and different freight lanes or something like that.

    My concern is a company finding out down the road and face being fired again.

    Because it’s tied to an inspection so will show on his PSP, which is also how his company found out. He had to turn in the inspection report.

    Except because it’s a violation tied to an inspection it will show up when they pull his PSP.
