Large number of warnings during an inspection, will I be fired?

Just curious . How come mine is clear then ?

I got pulled over and inspected and got multiple warnings yet nothing showed up on my psp besides "inspection" and a seat belt ticket violation(seat belt ticket was at a different time irrelevant)

The inspection was done in Minnesota by a state trooper in 2017 and I got 4 warnings during that inspection. I was initially pulled over for going 3mph over in Winthrop ,MN.

 

I actually feel bad about the harsh treatment the driver got here. I get it. You were going to leave this company and move on to a better company. But now you wonder if you blew it at the last moment. Sucks.

 

I have no idea unless he gave you state warnings, and not warnings on the inspection itself. Other than that, call it a glitch in the system and keep smiling.

 

Here is a FAQ from the DataQ website. I did not C&P the entire answer.

There appears to be a warning on my record. Can it be removed?
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) records do not contain written or verbal warnings issued on behalf of the State. What appears to be a State warning may be an FMCSA violation noted during the inspection.

 

I don’t understand these cops. We are required to carry paper logs just in case the elog goes bad which happened in your case. Why would he give you warnings. I would’ve told him to write me tickets instead because you can fight the ticket and remove it but you can’t do anything with a warning

 

Just because they write you a ticket does not mean your in violation, First you always log in the time of your home terminal no matter where you are. My home terminal is Rancho Cucamonga CA so I would always log using Pacific time matching CA. As far as the rest you need to know how to use your paperlog, You have to have the last seven days, eight including the day your driving or current day. Anytime there is a change of duty status is the requirement for a log entry.
You have to have BOL or Shipper and Contents of the load listed. You have to have it signed and dated correctly. Plead it out to the court, written declaration

 

Good example of regulations run amok. All this uncertainty and open to interpretation on the Officers part. This whole system has become a joke.I hope all of it increases Shipping costs enormous amounts. Who the hell would want to enter an Industry with so much unnecessary harassment. Being treated as a criminal should pay much better. Good Luck, don’t panic till necessary. Worst case scenario, May be a good thing in longrun. This Industry has gone to the Dogs.

 

If I had rear-ended someone, then rolled the truck into a ditch, and been charged with dui, I would have ended up with less psp points

 

I disagree, the regs are not the problem, the driver is, no one taught him how to log, nor did he take an initiative to learn the right way. Even though it is a flaw that has been brought on by eld and lack of enforcing the rule that the company trains their drivers to properly log when the eld is down, there isn't an excuse.

You driver need to stop making excuses, move on, make sure that you don't have the issue again.

And stop worrying about things like psp and csa crap, they don't stop you from working unless you want that.

 

The stacking of regs has not proved to increase Safety. One band aid after another. Too much Bureaucracy.Keeps someone in a Job. Not in A Drivers best interest, which is the original intent of Log books in the first place. To keep Companies from running a Driver too hard.Instead it’s too often used as a tool to justify the existence of the Enforcers
