DOT Warnings vs Violations

This is a video trying to explain, in a rambling and semi-coherent manner, the difference between a warning and a violation. I am NOT an attorney, nor do I claim to be, therefore consult an attorney before attempting to take any issues to the courts. That being said...the point of the video is that even though the DOT officer gives you a warning, there are still CSA points given to the company and the violation is still placed on your driver PSP report and recorded with the FMCSA. A warning is basically the same as the citation, minus the points on your license and monetary fine.
The warning can not be appealed in court, as there isn't anything to appeal. No citation, no action to appeal. However...as I said about the CSA points and PSP report with the FMCSA, the violation is recorded and placed on your record in the system. You are able to appeal the violation that the warning was issued for through the FMCSA's DataQ system. However, you are unlikely to have the points removed as the original violation is normally correct and factual. This is why I say that if the violation is inaccurate, that it is much better to have the ticket written, as that is appealable in court, than to have the warning issued. This is not legal advice, however, this is simply my opinion. Once again...consult with an attorney before taking any legal action.

I got two tickets and took them to court and they were both dismissed. I went through data q and even called the fmcsa several times and spoke with them and sent them the dismissals and they STILL left them on my psp. They absolutely refused to take it off. So just cause you're in the right doesn't mean that the fmcsa is going to do the right thing. They are in the business to screw truckdrivers, and they do.

🤔 A couple days ago I got an inspection "warning" for having my cell phone in my right hand while driving my box truck. ×I have a chauffeur's license no CDL license needed to drive the box truck.. After doing my research and watching videos like this here I thought the cop was giving me a break, but now I'm realizing it was basically reaming me! 😡
I'm an idiot that's said "hank you officer I appreciate" not realizing he was probably laughing inside!

I got a warning for speeding in construction site no workers present and no miles recorded on warning. How do I beat this

[zackyzack]

If I get a violation and I fix the issue but the DOT still requires me to send a signed copy that shows I fixed the violation, is it only the company who can sign and send back to the DOT or as an Owner Operator you can sign and send back to the DOT after fixing the violation?

I had a level one inspection where the officer had me throw on another strap and an he said that an 11 minute ELD driving violation was nominal. I got a level one sticker so he said it was a pass but do those non ticket violations show up to hurt me? The strap was fixed asap and he didn’t care about the moving of the truck violation when I was over my drive time and in the yard. Just wondering if I can even feel good about the level one stickers!

How long does the warning stay on fmcsa?

[TennisArena]

The cop gave me a 10 over ticket I delayed it for 7 months the officer dropped but gave me a 15 over road side inspection being petty smh

[Tacticaltoddlers]

What if I was driving a company vehicle that wasn’t registered as a commercial vehicle and wasn’t current on registration? I got pulled over for a DOT inspection today in my Roll Off truck. Both thickets were issued to me? Will this go on as negotiable points

[TennisArena]

Warnings are only bad if u want to slave for a company your whole career instead of Being a owner operator

[thestockexplorer]

Like #55 interesting. I’ll take that verbal warning all day long

Got a level 2 inspection and my ELD was in offline mode but he checked the loafs and it was good but wanted to send it but I told him it’s in offline and I need to just switch my phone Wi-Fi on to connect it because it will eat up all the hotspot he didn’t want me to and gave me a violation 395.24D can I dispute this ?

[dejamcgee]

I got a hos violation ticket but didn’t have to go to court & I called them & they said I didn’t have to pay anything. What does that mean ?

[rubensantos]

If you beat a speeding ticket in court will fmcsa remove it?

[luleahmad]

So it exists but doesn't exist at the same time 😂

[anthonyowens]

Thanks 4 the information. Question, how long does it take 4 a 6 to 10 speeding violation to come off the CSA REPORT

[AlexLopez-yvrr]

I got a warning when I wasn’t speeding duck should of sled for the ticked

[isaacceaser]

Do you or your company still get fined even if its just a warning?
