Thanks Errol. I won't be getting a face-to-face, thankfully. The phone convo was all, although he did recommend I talk to a safety person at a terminal so I can see exactly what is on their screen.
I'd been checking the risk analysis points online all day but they didn't change until after I talked to the safety guy on the phone.
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Try not to let this play on your mind...you know how to prevent this from happening again. Not a problem. Forgive yourself, but never forget. Safe travels, G

Update:
I got a message from safety and called my fill-in DM who transferred me to someone in the safety department. He read me word for word what was on his screen, something along of the lines of hard braking and stability control events being indicators or unsafe driving habits that need to be corrected immediately. I am being assigned 8 risk analysis points, which will disappear after 6 months. When I asked him if there was anything I could do to get rid of the points sooner, he said no. Apparently I picked the one type of critical event in which a certain number of points are automatically assigned to the driver regardless of the explanation. Also, stability control events, as they are officially called, are the only ones that require coaching. He sent me a message with a code to put in a Mac 42 to acknowledge that I was counseled.
On the bright side, he noticed I was a platinum driver and told me to just keep doing what I'm doing. He said three stability control events in ninety days is typically grounds for termination but that he didn't anticipate me coming even close to that.
I'm bummed about the points but they seem to have no real meaning or significance as long as they don't start stacking up. Obviously I want them in the negatives now, but I'll just have to wait.
