Risk Analysis points after brake check

This is inter-company rhetoric. They might can report this on a DAC, but. Swift is a large company with some of the most liability within truck drivers. So I assume they mock this up to their insurance company (probably self insured) or probably to the dot as “we’re putting safety first by having all of these moves tracked and logged” but they continue to put out some of the worst untrained/ poorly trained drivers in this industry. Don’t worry much about it. Just give yourself plenty of room and let the pack move on, as they follow inch’s from each others bumpers.

Be preparing yourself for better horizons where this type of discipline is left for others.

 

Ehh. He was probably in a hurry and being petulant. Don't worry about "points." Hopefully you won't be there long enough to win a prize.

 

Safety has never said anything to me. I get speed warnings all the time. I gave up hitting the brakes and setting the cruise after every hill. Then i get these stupid stability recording in progress when I come off an exit ramp at 20 mph.

 

I had a hard braking event today aswell. Doing 65 in a 65 on 4 lane devided high way.hGuy tried to cross all 4 lanes less than 100 yards in front of me with a car already in the devide trying to make left turn. So he crossed at 5mph... I was empty so barly got slowed enuf before he was totaly out of my lane. I had no place to go. If i was loaded id of easly t boned him. I notified the suits as im sure the hard braking event pops up on there end.

I wint get reprimanded for it... But starting to think i need a dash cam.

 

Get out while you still can. Too many points and you're gone.

 

The reach and evolving of tech babbly happy nappies in the trucking company's mega office with little to nothing to do other than rack up a simple folder with your name on it. STUFF that folder with violations internally run up by yourself. Eventually that folder is overstuffed and heavy with damning sinful crimes you have committed such as taking the braking to the floor to keep from killing someone who did something truly stupid. (Maybe you should have taken him out and not incurred a hard brake event within your company punitive policies and actions.)

I already know that myself will never see a swift truck. They and I will not get along very long. I can see myself now sitting in that court box telling the weeping survivors of the dead car that it is against Swift's company policy to apply sufficient hard braking to trigger a event that in time will cause me to be dismissed, fired or terminated from Swift at any time in the future to be determined at a later time. Im already a dead man so I don't try to stop very hard as per company braking policy. (Vehicular manslaughter by negligence to control vehicle speed prior to collision)

//snark.

Also.

Do not be so... neutered and hiding behind the skirts of anyone. Go to the store and buy yourself a quality camera that will attach to your hat visor. That way whatever it saw or sees on that awful day when a idiot cuts you off too close to stop it will be all there on video in precious 4K glory and sound and fury. The suits in Swift can go stuff themselves some more creating more babblytech BS policies that continually undermines and castrates truckers from being trusted to be Captains of the ship and do their work as best they can. You really should not work for a company that will stab you in the back at any time with that kind of BS.

Am I the only one aged sufficiently not to care about some hurt feelings of those imbeciles who dared to implement, write and enforce such a stupid policy? Most truckers know if they made the decision to force a 18 wheeler at 40 ton and highway speed to stop right now it's going to be a BIG problem potentially to make it happen.

I have had too many incidents where people are inside cars trapped in traffic with me coming up on them at 60+ and no place to stop for love or money. But what I could do is slam the service brake to the floor, lock em all up waiting for that speedo to drop just below 31 and MAYBE just maybe it will do it with just enough room to horse her into the now cleared out left lane around the trapped car with a family and children in it.

They can take their precious policies and burn it. Lives depend on maybes.

 

The company is assigning punishment type points for avoiding an accident, I'm understandi g this correctly right?

 

They can report anything they feel like putting on dac. True or not...
