Just got my first ticket in a cmv.

I got a truck route violation ticket by downtown LA last November and it was 1.5 points on my record and no csa points. My four wheeler insurance went up about $8 a month too since it was a minor infraction.

The California Highway Patrol were the ones that I got the ticket from. I was just in your area last night, parked at that 55 truck stop, exit 267.

 

make sure you tell safety at your company about the ticket before they find out otherwise

 

Not positive but I thing CSA points have to come from a DOT officer. Most normal cops aren't real familiar with commercial driving.

You need to be really careful in Illinois, Indiana, California, and Idaho. Those states are real sticklers for being on restricted roads. You also need to break out the road atlas not your GPS. Your GPS is going to get you in trouble if you don't double check it with your road atlas! You are lucky you didn't come to a low bridge or something like that and have to back up 10 miles!

 

I believe it will show up. I received tickets for no inspection sticker, and no IFTA sticker. They showed as non moving violation, but they still showed.

 

I was in Green Bay wisc on Thursday. Talk about a royal nightmare to have to drive that town in a semi. Especially where I was going. Most of the streets from WI54 north are all restricted and the one street I could take had no exit to it from EB WI 54. Had to go past and come back for it.


DO NOT rely on that GPS. "GPS directions" = "Getting Pretty screwed-up directions"

 

In Newark Delaware about a year ago, a lady turned onto a railroad track because her GPS told her too. The street was about 50 ft further down the street. Of course the car got stuck and a train hit it.

You can't fix stupid... even with technology

 

For it to be on your CSA record it has to be on the standard inspection report, if not you should be fine.

But I'm pretty positive it will be on your regular driving record.

 

chompi is right about low bridges !!!!!! the Chicago area is fampous for paving a road and not changing a sign or no sign at all . call for directions !!!!!
