CSA put me out of buisness

Data analysts are bottom feeders.

 

Everyone is someone's bottom feeder.

 

Well, not really.

Now the insurance company has direct access to data created by warnings... NOT citations or violations. Warnings! Of course, one does not get to fairly contest any warnings. Unless you call the DataQ joke a fair contest.

 

So what the insurance companies are doing are creating profiles for drivers. A driver that shows a pattern of poor inspection probably has poor behaviors. These drivers then become statistically more likely to be a liability so they don't want to insure them. Makes sense too me, it's not a very fair system and you could lose a few drivers that do not have bad behaviors but my guess is the ends justify the means. Insurance company ends up paying out less in the end and collecting more in premiums.

 

I'll thank BigJay for this lesson in life.

It's actually called Actuary science. They figure out the "profiles" and statistics behind the insurance.

Now your being silly. One could say this about anything... Alcohol related accidents still occur daily despite the rigid enforcement in place on the matter. Should we then ban all alcoholic beverages? Would that end justify the means? Oops, they already tried that and it didn't work out so well.

I also doubt that CSA will do ANYTHING to improve safety. They want perfection, and.... bubble buster.... the world isn't perfect. Moreover, what was in place before CSA obviously WAS working... more trucks on the road than EVER and accident fatality rate is down. One really has to wonder, if you have something with evidence that it is indeed working... Let's change it... To me, this is absolutely absurd.

 

This is government in a nutshell. A bunch of "intellectuals" who believe their thinking on behalf of the population will make a more perfect world. Monumental egos and too many statistics equals level misery.

 

ever wonder WHY that fatality rate is down?

because some bean head is sitting there looking at what's happening and looking to put it together "in a big picture" and those things that cause the deaths are slowly eliminated or mitigated.

 

It seems to me that CSA is more of a benefit to insurance companies than safety on the highway.

I see the point behind CSA, since the only thing a driver can do anymore to protect their livelihood is do everything by the book, but with some companies these days it seems that running legal will get you fired quicker than having a marker light out.

So I guess my question would be is this going to turn into a battle between company and driver as to who is going to eat those points when the load doesn't allow for time to make things legal?

Seems to me that the system is a little unbalanced.

 

It's a flawed system to say the least. I'm not a big fan of anything on a percentile grade, you can look really good if everyone sucks, or you can look really bad if everyone is really good. The peer groups that companies are compared against are way too large and they can fluctuate on a semi-regular basis.
