So the clarification that I got was that the inspecting officer can indeed refer to any violations in Table 1 and that they are laying the groundwork to possibly tie the CSA into a driver's MVR report. It will not tie in upon release date, but may do so at a later date.

So right now, if Barney Fife pulls you over for speeding outside Mayberry, those points will not show up on your CSA report because Barney does not have the authority to do the inspection.

A DOT officer, on the other hand, will have the authority to cite you for those moving violations and they will show up on the report.

Correct. For example, if you get stopped in Ohio by a DOT-authorized trooper for speeding or whatever, once they do an inspection on you, then they can apply the violations to the inspection as well as your MVR.

how about if you just dont speed?

LOL - that works too. I must be doing something right - I haven't had a moving violation in over 20 years now.

and you call yourself a truckdriver:):)

I guess, the way it sounds... just don't get pulled over. Hmm. Ok. :thumbsup: :D

@ last two comments:

I can see it now... poor old outlaw trucker knows he's on his last violation-- and instead of pulling over and taking his "retirement" gracefully-- decides to give that trooper a run for his money. Going out in a blaze of glory- and make the TV programs-- worlds (fill in the blank) chases/ crashes video.

well, thanks a lot for giving away my plan

Al these shenanigans make me glad I got out of trucking when I did. It seems CSA is out to destroy the industry.

Well, it's designed to make the industry and the motoring public safer and I think in the end, it will do what it's designed to do (after a whole lot of continued tweaking). My biggest concern is that the collateral damage it does to the driver base and many of them good drivers, is going to put huge pressure on the industry. I'll bet the Railroads are absolutely loving it, though. :roll:
