CSA may save your future/job.

I know the rules.

But I also have seen and dealt with companies that WILL NOT fix some little thing on the road. Let's get it back to our yard. I know my position on it. I went to pick up a trailer once with no lights. The company told me to run during the day and not worry about it. I refused, they said they would call someone else.


You are probably going to tell me that you have NEVER done something like this. But it is your story, I will let you tell it what ever way you want.

 

No I have refused to pull equipment that was deficient. I will on occasion if the risk is low (clearance light, flat on empty or light trailer......) drive short distances (5-10 miles) to a shop for repair instead of waiting for a service truck or losing a high dollar load. Major flaws (flats on heavy loaded trailers, wheel seals, no functioning lights) sit until repaired.


But my point is a driver can do that. There are specific regulations telling him to do it. And any company that would attempt a violation of those regulations is not worth a good drivers time.

 

Still sitting there?


The company has not done anything to fix them?

 

Probably waiting for the wrong(right) driver to get there and deliver them

 

No. The commute would suck.

 

The source that you just sent me is full of gov. double speak. It tells you absolutely nothing about what they are going to do. They have changed this thing 4 or 5 times already. In one place the say they are not going to use who is at fault in a crash, and then 2 or 3 paragraphs down they say they are. As I have said before I am out of it and the more I see Of csa 2010 the more glad I am

 

Your assertion was that good or clean inspections were useless. I posted the source that disproved that statement.

While hard to follow, this is the source of the program that yes is evolving as it is implemented. A database of this size and scope is going to need to be adjustable at launch.

All that being said spotlighting those that consistently receive deficient marks in inspections can not be a bad thing. Will it remove every sub-standard driver? Sadly no, but it will remove a large portion.
