Inspections by DOT suitable for annual inspection?

I respect the fact that your job is thankless and over looked, but oversight needs to be a two way street.

 

The windshield stick is a CVSA sticker that is recognized by all states . They will remove a corner to show which quarter it was done . It is not a guarantee you will not be inspected again during that quarter . Also if you are inspected in March it won't indicate whether you were inspected in January or March . If will be ignored in April .
The trailer also needs a sticker so if the trailer hasn't been inspected in the current quarter you could be pulled in .

 

CVSA decals are valid in all CVSA jurisdictions US and Canada. They are good for 90 days, and keep you from getting a "random" inspection.

If an inspector sees a violation, he can go ahead and do another inspection, though.

As for the Level 1 roadside inspection being good for the Federal Annual inspection, it is. You need to keep a copy of the Level 1 FMCSA inspection in the vehicle for the 12 month period, though. The CVSA decal, being good for only 90 days, will not work.

 

As far as FMCSA is concerned.

Whether your carrier will honor it, I cannot say.

 

I question the 90 days . They are marked by the quarter they are done in . If you are inspected the last month of one quarter you will be starting another quarter the next month . http://www.jjkeller.com/webapp/wcs/...edCVSAinspectionsticker-102012_10151_-1_10551

 

True. To be completely accurate, CVSA decals could be valid for anywhere between 60 and 90 days.

I should have said "up to 90 days."

So, is this violation going to affect my CSA score?

 

Another violation ? 60 to 90 days ? Maybe not even 6 days . Get a sticker March 29th and 3 days later they are issuing the second quarter sticker .

 

but you hit trains does it pass now?
