Safety belt violation. State/local vs federal.

Honesty is the best policy. Plus, we were required to sign a form listing all violations for the year. Didnt matter what level. Yes, they checked.

 

No offense but in this line of work time and time I have found honesty is not the best policy.

 

I get that, but something veriviable that they can and will check, want to be strait up with them.

 

Some can get a few demerits for getting seat belt infractions and it does go on your record, part of controlling the load includes the driver.

 

I don't have a clue what the cop is saying, you get a ticket, it goes on your record.

If it happened with an inspection, then it hits your CSA record.

If you want to know what my number one thing that increases my insurance costs, it isn't a 15 over ticket with a driver but a seat belt violation so many companies look at that as a no-hire flag.

AND I don't find an excuse for not using one.

 

Ok, did you get a citation? (I.e. a ticket?)
Did you get a violation on a CVSA inspection form?

If neither it was a verbal warning, no harm no foul.
If it was a violation then that is a written warning. Goes on your PSP report and the companies CSA "score" Most companies require notification by policy as it affects them, Ask the company, which is kinda a catch 22 I know.
If you got a citation and violation then don't report it. Fight it in court and see what happens, and report it only once convicted, if needed.

 

State or federal , all must be reported to your employer.

Excluding parking tickets.
