Will this affect my license?

Were those violations listed on the inspection? I’m assuming so since they’re requiring it signed and returned. No legal advice is going to get you out of a violation on an inspection like that. It will not go on your MVR if no citations or written warnings, but the infractions will go on your PSP. Those violations alone probably won’t be an issue for you in your career, but yes, your employer and potential future employers will take note of those things as your PSP points also affect the company.

I had two moving violations listed on an inspection and was also cited. Fought the citations in court and got them dropped.. sadly, my PSP still shows the violations with a little note that says the state verdict was amended. So, it really didn’t do any good except keep my MVR clean

 

No ticket no license problem.....
But could someone explain to me...,What? Certifying your logs means??

 

Thanx I’m old not qualified to use electronics

 

I'm going to give you specific instructions on how to handle this. Read my words very carefully. You say your carrier, OK, but what you need to do is go sit down and have a conversation with somebody in your safety dept. If you are on the road and can't easily get into a terminal then request to be routed into a terminal ASAP. Ask that same question to this safety person. This is important for two reasons. First, you can have some peace of mind and the safety person can also make a note in their carrier records you were spoken to. You were given a North American Roadside Inspection Report that contained violations that did not have state citations attached to them. As @kemosabi49 correctly stated these violations will affect the carrier's CSA scores for the next 3 years. This will not have any bearing on your driving record. Now, one last item. If you need follow-up training on how to properly use the logging system then get it ASAP. Oh, one more thing about CSA scores. If you are driving for one of those companies that has higher than normal scores be careful to make sure you are crossing every T and doting every I. You have a target on you! Before my granddaughter was born I was speaking to a DOT officer I know over breakfast. He told me that the Virginia DOT was told by higher-ups in Richmond to key on several carriers because of their scores.

@brian991219 might have more to add, but I can't express hard enough how critical it is to run 100% legal! Keep the permits and logging current and legit!

 

One way to ensure you always certify, assuming you youre using an omnitracs or a Qualcomm (not 100% sure of Qualcomm) is to put yourself on duty before starting your day. I usually do 3-5 minutes on duty. My omnitracs wont let you change duty without asking you to certify previous days.

It seems you handled yourself well to get a break on a log violation.

Another thing many drivers overlook with elogs is not entering BOL # on every trip.

One place I pick up at frequently we dont know the BOL # until we are at the guard shack on the way out. It’s rare I see a driver take the 30 seconds after being handed his bills to enter the 20 digit number. It’s always the same routine. I see bills get handed to driver and off they go, 2 turns and they’re on the interstate with an incomplete log book. Plenty long driveway to stop and fill in the information to be legal. Probably not an hangable offense but it’s so common I thought I’d mention it.

 

What do they mean by being a”Certified” log ? Never heard of this. Isn’t ELD electronically in the system ? I run just a paper log “time sheet”, put down the time I start and stop and total hours for the day. I’m local so I’m luckily exempt. One of the carriers I haul for have all ELD’s on there trucks, but I’ve never heard them discuss about being “Certified”.
