    IIRC, CSA points no longer are assigned to the driver for weight violations as of 1/2012

    What were you permitted for or what should have you been? I'm pretty sure you weren't needing to be at 80k lbs. so how much over what you were supposed to be at were you?

    You may not get the points, but will your company make you catch the fine?
