Why a strike? The CSA 2010 will cripple trucking.

So were down to the 4200+300 plus o/o that make up the real world. Thats in addition to the big 5. Still not near as many as I thought originally.

 

England is not that big, compared to others, as you can see. They were farther down the list. The ones larger than this were not trucking companys for the most part.
Swift was the largest of the trucking ones and i went to that point.
I they use to not be larger than YRC and JB, but I am not sure if JB dedicated is in that JB number, and I do not know if all YRC companys are in there number. Since I know swift has had about that number for a while.

Going by this the 5 largest truckload are
Swift, Schneider, JB, Werner, Landstar.
I am not sure how many in the middle are truckload. Most seem not to be. And at least 5 or more truckload are larger than england. I closed the tab so I cannot look lol.

 

First I'm not pro at this. But as Quote on a site of csa 2010. There are many listing and as you can see it takes along time to write out. And my writing is not the best.

So 1st. Sleeper berth Defects, Sleeper berth requirements and using a sleeper berth that is not equipped with occupant restrain are listed in the dot book in 393.76, 393.76(b)(1) threw 393.76(h).

2nd. rear view mirrors. Failing to equip vehicle with two rear vision mirrors, Defective rear vision mirrors as listed in dot book 393.80, 393.80(a)

3rd. All steering violations of steering mechanism. Steering wheel not secured/broken, excessive steering wheel lash, loose steering column, steering system components worn/welded/missing, Power steering violations/leaking/broken/missing. as listed in dot book 393.207, (a), (b), (C), (d), (e).

I'm only quoting what I read. Thanks.

 

ok, might of been a typo in the list given, said read mirror not rear mirror. Still dont get why you would need a restraint in the sleeper unless your a team

 

So is the DOT gonna ground me for not making my bed or cleaning my room?

 

Well! I'm just learning. Just as all of us. I do check for myself on hear say. You never know what is true are not.

MCR is right on the bed making. And thangs not stored right in the cab and sleeper.

They might don't ground you. But They do have a ticket book. And remember were talking about D.O.T. These guys have done it before and they do again.

Ever had to bang on a light to get it to work for the DOT man. Hears your ticket. Just say'en
