    Hi first timer here. Let me explain what happened because I’m unsure what will happen to me
    I’m a Schneider driver, heading south on I-95 in MA, State trooper pulled me over going 62 on a 45, ( yes I know stupid, but I didn’t notice since everyone else was going 60 ) The trooper just gave me a inspection report, no ticket, but on the report it states that the reason why I got an inspection was because I went 62 on a 45. I had no idea about the whole CSA and PSP points stuff. But I have 30 points now even if it was a warning. Can someone tell me what happens from here? I have to call my DBL tomorrow and tell them what happened.

    17 over - probably not going to be good.

    Never take a warning - demand a citation. Citations you can fight - warnings no, but still collect CSA points.

    Did he do an inspection on your truck, and if so, was it level 3, 2 or 1? It should be listed on the inspection report. If the inspection was clean, I personally wouldn't worry about the speeding part. That being said, if you are planning to drive, you had better start paying attention to road signs.

    Luck in battle.

    It was a DOT 3 Inspection, I came out clean and he didn’t make me sign it. And yes it won’t happen again, I hear it’s common in that area aswell

    CSA points do not affect the driver , it’s just the company that gets the points. Every company has their point system and when you reach a certain point they give you an intervention like you’re a druggie or Alcoholic.

    I’ll take that, I deserve it, I just don’t know the company policy in regards to that. Doing 15 and over give Schneider 30 points I’m unsure what that intails, and good thing I’m neither one of those
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.
