    Now the REALLY scary part about this? 1/3 of all carriers on the road have a CSA score worse than Swift, a training company.

    Does that include scores from non-active companies and from when since CSA scores started or what?

    They have what 16k trucks and drivers? They are obviously in business to make the most profit possible. I would assume that when increased cost of the losses and lawsuits equals the cost savings of cheap labor they will raise their training standards. But until that day, expect more of the same.

    Yep. The only time you won't be charged is if you have a dash cam with good video of someone cutting in front of you and getting on the brakes hard in an attempt to make you hit them.

    I don't know about that, but it would include scores from any minor violations that fall under the safety umbrella. An id or clearance lamp being out for example. Or a license plate light not functioning. Those little things can drove your csa score up real fast. Especially with older equipment that may be perfectly safe but uses the old 194 bulbs that like to blow on every freaking bump or rainy day.

    So that implies that sub standard drivers killing and maiming people is acceptable as long as they turn a profit.

    That means that almost 70% have a better CSA score. Training company is irrelevant. We killed your daughter, but hey were a training company?

    With 'village' I thought maybe a clown car or Shriners convention had been mowed down...
    @Trooper - I'm loving that CB / Internet tough guy also. What he fails to recognize is that your immunity is equal. 'Do it again!' - LMAO. Dip. Fan boy must be one of theirs and 'cant handle the truth!' (speculative)
    Don't let your flip-flop get caught up on the throttle. That's pulling a Swift.
