There are hundreds of unfit companies, maybe thousands. Many smaller one have never heard of CSA 2525....or whatever it is today.
Most big companies are already in the process of improving their scores.

Of all the inequities plaguing truckers these days, I see CSA 2010 as a virus capable of infecting even the strongest immune system, i.e., the driver who has always "played by the rules". I'm guessing here 'cos "I ain't been there, ain't done that" yet. From my reading here on the forum and from other sources, I gather that drivers getting "red-lighted", just because of the carrier they work for, is nothing new and, until now, has been something to "just roll with". I suspect that "just rolling with it" may not be good strategy any longer. CSA 2010 is all about DRIVERS! It is cloaked in talk about carrier interventions, but it's real, "getting down to nut-cuttin'" focus is on drivers. A quick perusal of some of the government funded research that preceded CSA 2010 and provided the impetus for it's introduction is littered with references to driver behaviors. FMCSA has tried to make the pill easier to swallow by littering it's own presentation to the industry with references to carriers.
Okay, back to the initial thought behind this rant! Are drivers who SHOULD BE transporting the goods we all need going to be under a higher power microscope during inspections simply because of who they drive for? Will inspectors feel pressured to write up the "minor" violations that they would have justifiably overlooked before?
I've read many a post recently in which drivers, who have several years with a single carrier, have reportedly been let go for reasons that seem petty. Will carriers, as a group, adopt this type of strategy to protect themselves from FMCSA interventions?
It seems to me that some "good guys and gals" are going to get the short end of the stick.
(Now, after that I need an attitude adjustment. Hey Baack, Big Don, Big Duker.....heard any good jokes lately?
)
