    You must have been running behind me some when all I see is shadows of headlights at night, I think I'm in whomevers way?
    Most are clueless like the entitlement crowd who thinks the goverenment just runs out and prints "their" money up, without even wondering where it comes from and the real cost of each dollar they get.
    I remember years ago woman in store trying to buy dog food with food stamps. Was told that food stamps wouldn't pay for it, woman went and got steaks and said my dogs will eat these!
    This is what tax dollars pay for, so yes you're right clueless they are.

    Something needs to be done like pulling their authority , paddle locking the gates and charging some executives for their bad decisions. Those at the top are as responsible as their bad drivers. A company is run from the top down, bad company csa score bad management .

    So many things wrong all discovered in one inspection and quickly corrected.
    Seems a little TLC over time would have prevented all of it.

    Or you could look good if your lucky. I've seen guys boast that they have not got an inspection in 5, 6, or even 8 years. As you say, flawed to say the least.

    The PSP will say how many times you have been inspected in the last 3 years. My company gave me a copy of mine. 5 inspections...PSP score of 0. Guess I got lucky. When I got the copy I asked the safety director if it was possible to get 110 points on those violations by the OP, he said no way. The highest score for any one violation is 10.

    But the violations he listed were small weren't they? A 10 is a very serious violation.

    I'm thinking he missed a few things, added his numbers wrong, or just wanted to say how bad CSA was. The info provided doesn't jive with reality.

    I think so too. I just saw my PSP and it even says how many times you have been inspected.

    I heard on the Nemo show the other day when he had a guy on from FMCSA that only CARRIERS are awarded points.....the organization that is awarding drivers points are all 3rd party non government organizations....which of course the FMCSA had no Idea was happening....in reality the world is run by the insurance companies...
