Bad news for manual lovers

Compsny is too small to even have csa scores in some categories... But it's still the perfect example. Even though your CSA scores that do shoe up are super low...your accident rate is somewhere between CR England's 1:8 and Werner's 1:15. Yours is about 1:12. But what scares me is that your hazmat inspection failures are more than twice CREnglands... 43%.

So that does kind of support my argument that if people drive autos, they tend to rush other things as well. 53 hazmat inspections and half of them failed.

Not to be a jerk, but I really truly believe that mastering a manual transmission really does improve self discipline.

 

Check out the right half the the screen... That tells you a lot more. Accident rates, inspection failures of different kinds...

 

A lot of those incidents were due to the shippers screwing up the order of the info on the paperwork work for those hazmat loads. It has since been corrected.

 

There is a prime terminal basically next to my home DC, they have teams with stunning new trucks... Not just with dogs, but with a full APU

I definitely would not go thru the hassle with US Xpress just for those things. Every truckstop has a microwave. Werner is the lowest I would go, and you would get a new truck. Werner is really average, so Im sure there are plenty of better companies... But US Xpress is like being a piece of cattle.

How do you like the idea of being charged a dollar a mile to go to the truckstop? US express trucks have this insane thing that beeps at you when you go out of route. Not just that, you must pull over and get authorization to change your route, and it has to come across the qualcom and guidance system. That company is worse than CR England, they are basically delusional. You know a company is bad when it makes Werner look like a really nice place to work... Just because they don't steal from you and set your fuel stops and routes... How bad is that?

 

You have not looked at many CSA scores then. I can find companies with 1/10 the size that have all categories filled out! Scores are adjusted for carries size; carriers are graded on a curve.

. Where did you get those numbers? Not on the CSA screen. What are you refer to?

. It scares you that 42% - 43% of the vehicle inspections for a haz-mat tanker company include haz-mat inspection? WTF do you want more or less inspections? Apparently you are confusing the haz-mat inspection rate with the haz-mat inspection violation rate. Those are two different things.

Since you are mistaken let me straighten out what a good company Mat has compared to your favorite CREngland:

CR England had 10,006 vehical inspections last two years of them 20 were haz-mat inspections. 20/100006 = .19% of their vehical inspections were haz-mat inspections. The DOT lists the percentage as 0% just to simplify. But of those 20 inspections 20% of them had violations so great that they got put out of service. Pulling Haz-mat for England will get you OOS 20% of the time! Not good. Good thing they do not pull a lot of Haz-mat.

Schmidt had 84 inspections the last two years of them 35 were haz-mat. 35/84 = 41.6% of the inspections were Haz-mat. So they are a hazmat company and subjected to more hazmat inspections. That is all that means! Of those 35 inspections 0 were OOS. That is great. Way better than CR England. No contest.

WTF are you talking about. Learn to read. The companies Mat listed have 0% and 2% OOS rate for Haz-mat. 53 total haz-mat inspections only 2% failure. That is good.

 

It tells. It tells me it is a good company.

 

Here's our other sister company who pulls almost all our hazmat loads

Gotta admit that is funny.

 

update this is on the truckersreport the day after I said it lol

Last year TruckersReport covered a New York Times article called “Daddy, What Was A Truck Driver?” in which multiple individuals, including leadership at the ATA, predicted that autonomous self-driving commercial trucks were “close to inevitable.” Whether or not flesh and blood truck drivers will go the way of the dodo remains to be seen, but a recent announcement from Google puts non-commercial drivers on notice.

 

That's something I would like to believe, and perhaps would believe... but.... piss bottles, trash thrown out of windows, drivers parking in fuel islands while they waddle their porky ##### inside to fill up their two gallon mugs with soda, tailgating four wheelers and other trucks, a general lack of hygiene... if that's a reflection of the self-discipline which comes with driving a manual, then we really all are ###### if autos become the norm.
