    Was that done with the shippers approval?

    For future reference; if you're live loaded, always move the tandems to be under the very back of the load (unless it's mixed weight pallets and they put the heavy stuff up front). When I hauled van I used this method and seldom ever had to resituate.

    This is the only question I noticed. The short answer is this will NOT have anything to do with the CDL. According to the information you provided no citation was issued, only an inspection report. An OoS order is not a violation, it is a result of one. I HIGHLY recommend that you get some training on how to operate that system. It is clearly obvious from your post that you don't. Bad combination!

    Be careful with mistakes, the dot man will smile and say it’s fine. But the points stay on your csa score. Your csa score is the dumb golden nugget we’re held accountable against. There are supposed to be revisions going into affect this year that starts to unravel that system and make it more practical. But at this point, everything stays on for THREE years, the points are multiplied by 3, every year it goes down some. These points are for a simple as a light out to log violations to bad tires, etc.

    Unfortunately early on there’s lessons that are learned like this. Try your best to prevent them by being diligent and learning.

    Csa scores are what employers, customers and insurance companies look at.

    Oh, and it takes 34,000 lbs to be overweight on either your truck side or trailer on a van trailer. So technically you can’t be overweight at 25,000 lbs. unless the shipper did load more then they said or thought ( happens in flatbed sometimes at job sites when they really don’t know how much something weighs )... over time you should start to feel a difference in weights pulled, 20k feels much different than say 40k. Especially when going up a hill
