Inaccurate information on level 3 inspection. No citation.

Leave it alone and be glad you didn't get a ticket!

 

So why was you going around the scales?
You didn’t have a good answer for taking the ramp?
Enjoying the countryside and thinking of buying a house, but if you keep harassing me for wanting to enjoy your lovely state forget about it, I wouldn’t buy any property here…
Nothing like that?

 

Maybe you should've told the DOT that the exit you got on was the one you needed to take in order to deliver. You must've not answered the officer properly so you let him assume otherwise.

 

Not sure how he could claim you falsified logs. I mean, no one is staying in their sleeper for an entire 34, but nothing says you didn’t stay in your sleeper and pee in bottles for the 34 hours. And, it doesn’t matter for a 34 anyways. Only time off duty vs sleeper matters is for a 7/3 or 8/2 split. I’ve had 5 inspections and never was once questioned about always using sleeper berth.

As far as ‘dodging’ the scale, were there any signs that said trucks must stay on interstate and pass the scales? They’re not common, but some states will have signage saying trucks may not exit.

I don’t know how easy they’d be to fight and get amended, but those ‘warnings’ are worse than actual citations sometimes. They carry points on your PSP still, but you can’t fight in court and DataQ it off your record like a citation

 

Go to DataQs on the FMCSA site and submit a review/appeal about the violations. I’m not sure how much luck you’ll have with the dodging scale one, but you should be able to get the log violation dropped, which is a pretty big one for PSP points.

 

Has to be done by the company. Can't see why they wouldn't if everything(but dodging scale) is what you say.
It's their safety score taking a hit.
