I have a CA cdl, but was going through MO and got stopped at a weigh station. I have had my license for less than a month and still learning the elogs. My husband (co-driver) was super tired and had fallen asleep. I had logged in (or so i thought) in order to get us about 20 miles to the truck stop. When the officer did the inspection, due to the truck being overweight. I got a violation for false records and the overweight. I hadn't actually swapped us, so it looked as if i were in sleeper driving and he was driving but in sleeper. I had just come off my 10. I was cited for the overweight only. How will thos affect my license? Please assist! Thanks
Weigh station violation, but no citation.

One, being over weight. But both are listed on the vehicle examination report.
-
I also got put oos for 10 hours
-
Just curious.
Why were you overweight at that point? -
Like i mentioned I am a new driver and wasn't aware that all loads need to be CAT scaled.
-
Surely your hubby can tell you that weighing each load is important.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -

Sounds like you started driving before your 10 hr break was up. If not I can't see why they would have put you oos for 10 hrs.
The overweight thing won't be a problem, but your company may have something to say about the rest of it.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
There was still about 15 minutes left on my drive time when i logged on.
