What is the consequence of a minor violation during a DOT inspection?

Yeah, I found it. It looks like a 1 point CSA ding. I researched some of the CSA material and have a good idea of what it means. Thanks for the replies!

 

No Biggie....Don't sweat it...I have 30 for OOS....

 

no drama queen about it.

never seen an inspection done in 13 years. and i live 400 miles from that POE.

even during the inspection blitz.

Vehicle Violations (Driver Receives Points)

a 1 point violation is actually a 3 point. a 10 point is a 30, for the 1st 6months. then 2 from 6 months to a year then 1 point from 1 to 2 years. then the points drop but the violation stays for another year.

 

Compared to a lot of people that wont even be noticed. My wife handles the CSA stuff for a small company and thats nothing compared to some drivers

 

They are becoming pickier and pickier and doing inspections at places you havent seen before. Todays game is to expect the unexpected as thats what your going to get. You will recieve points for everything noted even with no ticket so its time to start looking out for you as no one else is going to do it. If the rig has something wrong, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem, Get it fixed ASAP as its not worth your career unless you just dont care.

 

how many points does a distracted so called police officer get when he's too busy looking at his phone and looks up and sees my trailor,?DUH nit wit was getting on the "get on" riding another trucks rear end looking at his phone and FINALLY looks up and what does he see? Lol ME and my 53!!!
He literally ran back onto the grass,I couldn't help but laugh,( after I gave him the light "thank you")
I know he was embarrassed as all get out!!! I had several license plates written down, for witnesses bc I knew what time it was,but he decided that he should probably save what little dignity he had left,and roll on!!

 

Next time just blow past and try to out run em.
