What happens in the following situation to the drivers record:
1. Pickup a heavy load without scale at facility.
2. Scale out at closest Truck Stop Scale, find out overweight on axle (not gross)
3. Company turns you around to head back to shipper to rectify.
4. DOT Scale in between now open, pulls you in, get ticket / ding even though its obvious by your travel you are taking the load back after scaling out.
5. Company pays ticket. No problem there.
What happens with your driving record now? Does this count against you?

Yes, it counts against you. It's your responsibility to ensure load is legal.

CSA points only happen DURING AN INSPECTION. -
No CSA points for an overweight ticket even if there is an inspection.

When it first came out, it was on there.
The more you look at the new log rules, the more it looks like it was written by DOT officers with money as the goal in life. -

It does go on your PSP report and this stays on your report from 1-3 years and thought companies arent required to pull these reports more and more are starting to...even warning tickets go on your PSP so be careful EVERYWHERE you go...Id suggest getting an updated CSA book. Anything that says in your responsibility in that book and you are ticketed or given a warning ticket for, follows you on the PSP report....
Lucy in the Sky Thanks this. -
Well, it was not me. It was a friend. Apparently we are suppose to have some 6th supernatural sense by law of knowing if we are overweight or not.
