    A trend where DOT officers are quietly involved in trucking companies on the “safety side” & clearing dataQ’s for kickback money from carriers.. hush money opportunities & carriers happily paying out… carrier ask officer help me please in the databases my safety rating, officer sure that’ll cost you a “plan profit share” and carrier as a fraud DOT officer we can delete a bunch of stuff for the carrier… carrier says okay and there’s goes 2% per year, officers milking the company.

    Same way they hand over fist overweight tickets couple hundred bucks and it’ll be like nothing happen.

    It happens, ... more often than you think. Imagine an organized crime ring, that can police for profit, regulate for revenue, selectively enforce laws to profit one company while dragging another down. Target a company for heavy enforcement, only let up when a newly retired enforcer gets hired on as safety man. Wait, ... don't have to imagine that. We are blessed by living it every day!

    Don't go down the insurance scheme rabbit hole, that will twist the tip of that tin foil hat in knots.

    Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Overweight ticket doesn’t go on a CSA score. Makes me wonder how much of your post you’re just making up
