Kentucky 24 is # TRIMAC ( tanker yanker )

Update 6-4

Attended safety meeting , got to hear a few of the new pay enhancements coming to trimac this year ( late this year )
Over all good meeting got to see our personal PSP score mine is 0%
Which is best you can get and where we ranked in our group
( hazmat drivers ) the PSP scoring goes along with CSA 2010

Also reminded of the safety blitz coming up

Over all good meeting glad I went .

 

Yes the PSP is that stuff you heard drivers talking about .. THE SCORE

Here's some ways or things that effect your PSP

1. Tickets
2. Inspections
3. Log violations ( during inspection )
4. Lights
5. Speeding
6. Over weight
7. Over length
8. Trailer violations
9. Company equipment violations .. Such as brakes , fire Ext , emergency equip ,
10. Load securement
11 Hazmat regs

Stuff like that , I'm sure that there is more

Both companies and Drivers will have a score the PSP or driver score is on a 3 yr weighted scale . The older the violation the less it effects your score then after 3 yrs my understanding is it goes off your score

At a certain level I believe is 90.0 score you get a intervention or are forced intervention which can include

1. EOBR
2. Probation
3. Termination

The above is subject to company policies which I guess will differ per carrier .

The lower your PSP the better

Mine is 0% ( can't get better )

But let's say yours is 78% that means that 77% of drivers in your group or classification has a better PSP than you do and could trigger a more riggid inspection ..

( just an example )

But that's pretty well how it works

Also included on your PSP I forgot to mention is

1. Accidents ( your fault or not ) but I think if not your fault hits you waaaaay less from what I been told ...

Hope this helps you ...

But I agree with you just more regulations

 

The current ... PSP matrix is from your previous 3 year driving or violation record we did not all get clean slates ... They took our last 3 year of events ..

The DOT says they did that to get rid of the bad actors or repeat offenders

 

See I think a Non - Preventable should not count as any points at all since it was basically deemed not your fault ..

This is also where I don't agree with the CSA stuff in regards to the PSP scoring ..

 

If it made since they would never make it a law ... Rule says it has to be

1. Out in left field
2. Make no sence
3. Be written by someone with no knowledge of trucking
