Written “warning” worse than citation?

Being over weight doesn't effect you score, but that log falsification is what gets you points. Violations, Citations, and Warnings you get points.

 

Sometimes people think that CSA, PSP, CDLIS, and a person's DMV are the same THEY ARE NOT! A citation for a non-moving violation like being overweight generally won't cause issues. A citation or a warning for falsifying a log is severe if said violation was added to the North American standard inspection. These things have no warning, those violations go right into the carrier's CSA records. You can be 100% assured this violation WILL land in your carrier's CSA records because checking the log book is the 10th item checked according to this handout!

If there is a fault of some kind on the truck log program then this needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP! This officer was being nice by not issuing a state citation for this log violation that will come with a fine. I highly recommend the OP get this fixed if there is a problem in the log system. If it is not a problem but something you did wrong then go get some training on how to use that system.

 

It’ll be on your psp for 3? Years. Don’t sweat it but don’t make it a habit either.

I got one for over gross my first week out with trainer/ mentor…Fat lazy slob that didn’t want me to scale it.

 

Where exactly is this scalehouse?

 

No. I mean a violation. If it's written on a CVSA inspection form it's a violation period. The officer may choose to call it a warning if they want, it doesn't change the fact that it is, in fact, a violation.

Don't confuse a cvsa violation with a citation like almost all LEO's do.
