Disqualifying them from getting any sort of PFP payout should be a good place to start...maybe a suspension without pay, up to termination for repeat offenders.

 

Yup. And the seat belt ticket, I've "been told" that state officers will issue a seat belt ticket as a "lesser" infraction ticket, ie moving violation.
I'm glad this thread was started, as that qcomm message REALLY upset me. Lowering the speed of the truck doesn't affect me, as I ALWAYS set my cruise control at 58mph. However, the CSA/ISS score does affect me. I also agree that the punishment needs to be more sever, as the actions of few affect many. If a driver doesn't like the "Maverick Way" mentality, they can go drive somewhere else. We, as the Maverick drivers, need to try to come up with a workable solution, and present said solution to management. Just my opinion.
** fyi ... I'm not picking up ANYMORE broke trailers! From now on, I will blow the whistle as loud as I can, glass drivers, do it right or be ready to receive messages from your f/m!!
I'm sorry it had to come to this!

 

Sounds more like they've really just been searching for a reason to justify cutting down for a mpg gain

 

This makes a lot more sense, if you look up the CSA report on the USDOT site http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Data/BASICs.aspx?enc=m7kMnBcoEvgAb712TFMk0g==

you see there was only 1 speeding ticket in the last 24 months...

 

Prime just went through this not long ago. Bunch of people not wearing seat belts and speeding.

Now, if you get a seat belt ticket your fired.

 

We have thought about this, then made it a policy, but didn't fire the next guy to get a seat belt violation. It's frustrating to see numbers climb, but every time you want to do something about it (make an example) the powers that be change their minds.
