    My driver just got stopped for a random inspection, all was ok except his logbook. DOT did not wright a ticket. However on the inspection form he shut him down for 8 hours and wrote that he had falsified his log book. It was an error from a change of status, had plenty of hours left.

    As a new carrier will this effect my safy rating and constitute a fine?

    I do believe !!!!!!!!!

    However, the professionals here can give you an accurate answer..........


    Being a new carrier, you get inspected anyways, right?

    Log book violations cost carriers a lot of $$$. I'd like to see a cop write a perfect report everytime, no mistakes etc. Leave out a comma or something, he gets an un-paid day off.

    I'm not a professional. The link below gives an "800" number to the NESAP/FMCSA. Maybe they can answer your question.

    One minor issue with this story...... OOS=10hrs not 8hrs.....

    But I sure the self-proclaimed forum expert who does not have any experience in the industry will chime in with an answer.....:biggrin_2559:

    How many inspections you've had in relation to the amount of violations you've had will directly effect the recommendation of inspection rate. You can monitor this by logging into FMCSA web site with your DOT # and your password/pin.

    If you've been inspected once and have one violation, it will prompt them to pull you in. The more inspections you pass, the lower your score will go. When it hits below 75% then you are only going to be inspected once in a while, instead of every time. Below 50% then it will be a pass, most of the time.

    Give it a couple three weeks to hit your stats on the FMCSA web site, and then log in to find your safety stats.

    I never self-proclaimed myself to be an expert, but hey, it's a thought. I've gotta go run my bus route, then take the HS choir to a performance about 30 miles away. I'll be back later, hang in there.:biggrin_25514:

    I have to agree with Machine on the 8/10 point...but there seems to be more that is left out of this scenario...as Sgt. Joe Friday would say: "the facts please, just the facts"!
