I have a pretty basic question. Do warnings go on your CSA score? I've heard conflicting reports. I was on a highway that I was not supposed to be on for a few miles and received a warning for "disregard official traffic control device". He let me go with a warning because I'd never been in that part of Texas before. Thanks in advance for any input.

I had a CSA warning a while back.Weight was off at the dot scale, officer let me slide the tandems to correct it.
Then he wrote me up, he stated it would be recorded on my CSA report yet not go against my score.So it amounted to a pointless violation.
I looked it up online and he was correct.
He also stated they do it this way in order to see if trends are developing in driving habits. -
tickets go on Mar if it's a moving violation. otherwise. it's just a ticket.
inspections go on csa. no such thing as a warning. -

This is a fact sheet link that may answer some questions. You the Driver do not technically have a score card. You develop a list of violations essentially that show up in the pre employment screening program (PSP). Who ever you drive for gets a points score based on your inspections and violations.Last edited: May 14, 2014

Good job! -

never had a warning. it's either fix it. ( OOS OR NON OOS) traffic citation. or nothing.
now, i've had warning citations. and those showed nowhere. -
YES THEY DO. Got a warning at inspection near Gonzalez . Turn signal on tractor out since morning inspection. And did not total log hours a few days before. All down there but did not write 24 at bottom of column. Got 3 points on CSA. Only points I have. Our company triples them 1st yr. So I have 9 until June. Then they will drop to double 2nd yr. 6 points. 3rd yr actual. 3 points. Then they are gone. Don't ;listen to Leo when he tells you it won't go on record. All inspections are reported whether ticket or OOService is given or not. Good reason to do a real pre/post/in route inspection.

Any time you have an inspection, and they give you a warning on that inspection, you get CSA points.
