HOW WILL THIS NEW CSA 2010 AFFECT ME ???? I was sitting in stopped traffic last week due to a fatality ahead of me about 500 yards and a couple rearended my truck trailer at 70mph !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in their minivan, ......it took emergency crews over 2 hours to get the guy out of the car, (his wife was extracated fairly quickly and transported via ambulance- I later found out she was going to be OK) as of then the husband was still alive but in bad shape, steering wheel and dash were in his stomach and lap ,,they had to shut down both sides of the interstate and land a life flite helicopter on the interstate, they had to jack up my trailer to get it off the front of the car so they could pull his vehicle out form underneath the trailer (when he hit the trailer it lifted the whole back of the trailer up and it came back down on the top of the car) , then they had to cut apart the minivan and roof to extracate him, the impact was so severe that it bent my seat back , slammed the back of my head against the cabinet, knocked everything in the truck around , all the stuff on the dash got thrown off and whiplashed my back..the next day DOT did a inspection on my truck and everything passed. Even tho I had my flashers on and witness statement saying there was nothing I could have done to prevent this BUT how will this affect me now?? and By the way I am NEW to the industry and this was my first load in my first week of driving a truck!! believe or not!

This is why I think the CSA is a big joke. Most of the accidents involving big trucks are caused by four-wheelers in one way or another. Why aren't they rolling this out on them? If that idiot Ray LaHood was really interested in preventing commercial driver accidents, maybe he would do better to take a look at the role cars play in a vast majority of them.

Okay people here's the latest update fresh in off of the cb tonight on my way to Nashville.

" The government is out to put us all out of our jobs. They are going to be auditing 100% of the carriers that exist between now and the first of next year. They are going to shutdown 40-50% off all carriers and force the freight to be hauled on the rails. You don;t have to believe me drivers but it's the gospel."

You heard it here first straight from the cb news line.

My goodness, Dave, I've never known you to doubt the wisdom of governmental regulations. What's gotten into you?

The sad thing is that it's probably truer than we all think...
