Well the guy should be here in about 45mins for my audit. I really aint that worried. I think i got everything in order. He seemed like a real cool guy on the phone. Let you know how it works out for me. Wish me luck lol.

[Mackman]

Passed with flying colors. Only thing i didnt have was a form MCS-90. Called my insurance company and they faxed one right over. Guy was a cool dude. He was telling me all kinda of crazy storys about some fo the hacks he has to aduit lol.

Only thing left now is my PUC aduit and im none with these aduits thank god.

Also he gave my truck a level one and it passed and gave me a little sticker to put on my windsheild.

Sounds great, you run on your own, no employees? Both passed inspections will show up on your CSA score sheet. Have you had any violations before?

[Orangetxguy]

Good deal Brandon! Now....make sure you keep for the next go around....in about 9 months.

The guy told me as along as everything is in order like it was this time i should pass with no problems. Now i have the missing MCS-90 so i will have everything i need.

Overall it wasnt that bad at all. I was making a big deal out of nothing.

[Mackman]

Oh yea I'm also in the new entire program. I will stay in the new entire program until i get 3 roadside inspections. The one he gave me today counts. So i need 2 more. I told him I'm going to stop and tell them to give me level ones so i can get out of the new entire program. He laughed.

[allan5oh]

Just so you know level 2's count the same as level 1's in CSA. Just aim for level 2's.

Congrats Mackman!
When I used to get audited for workers comp when I had my construction business, those guys/gals always had stories to tell.

What is the MCS-90? i remember tracer with landstar posted he got caught for not having that form with him at a scale, i think he got a ticket too, what is it for??

[Mackman]

MCS-90 is some type of insurance form. I called my insurance company and they faxed it over. All it really says on there is how much insurance i have. I carry 1million in auto and 1 million in a GL Policy. I dont think you have to have a copy of it in your truck. You just need it in your files at your office.

[Mackman]

here is what it looks like.

[allan5oh]

I have one of those in my truck.

I have one of those in my truck.

I dont think you need it. Or do you?? The guy today never told me i had to have it in the truck.
