He is correct, It will be on there...... and I know the EXACT cop in Michigan you are talking about. I drove out of the Wal-Mart in Coldwater for a few years and had several run in's with the officer. There used to be a female bear too that worked that area from the 10mm to the state line. They love picking on the Canadian trucks

No, it's not. But the data is being collected, from a previous 3 years. Don't know about Canada, but here we already have a score. Don't believe me, ask Landstar safety.

I think the officer was speaking of points against your driver's license. Different matter than CSA-related violations. And it's my understanding that when CSA goes fully live, violations will count retroactively into the past for a certain length of time.

It is my understanding that the violations or warnings stay with the driver for 3 years and the carrier for 30 months. The points will diminish with each year. A 10 point violation will count as 30 points the first year, 20 points the second year and 10 points the last year.

No thats where you are mistaken. You will get points on your CSA for that and they will be on there for three years.
Wait until you have to buy that much reflective tape, stuff must be made of gold.

That's what I'd like to know too, especially since this was my first Landstar - pre-hire - inspection and the cost came out of my pocket. DOT says the mechanic checked the Box "Okay" for reflective sheeting when in fact it wasn't "okay". The inspection was done by a ... CAT dealer who is now offering all kinds of repairs for both trucks and trailers but just until recently they only worked with CAT engines. I didn't choose them - I was told to go there by Recruiting.

I have bought a FIFTY FOOT roll of this DOT approved reflective sheeting at a truck repair shop for 75 bucks. You have to know where to look.
