CSA put me out of buisness

Like stated before, them firing you doesn't make your points go away on their side. Firing you over that makes no sense.

I also agree with Tazz on his post.

There's always two sides to every story.

I'm still calling b.s. until the O.P. shows how he came up with 110 CSA points on those 4 violations.

 

I agree with you. Of course me posting on here I may get attacked for my 0-1 year experience.

I just know from reading and informing myself that the op shouldn't have let that happen. Carry extra lights, stop every few hours to check your load especially a flat bed load, and replace that worn tire. If you don't have enough money to replace the tire at least with a recap or used tire then there something else wrong.

The strap i can understand if it rubbed against something in transit between load checks. The marker light, not so much if its a flat bed.

I know, right? I probably don't know all the circumstances as to how this whole thing transpired but regardless of how it happened, the load, the truck, and the trailer is the driver's responsibility.

Don't forget, a lot of it has to do with how polite you are to ol' smokey.

Beware of the driver with 25 years of 1 year experience.

 

It's that da*n modifier that gets you.

 

The exact number doesn't matter, except to someone that studies numbers. What matters is a pattern of violations. That's what the CSA program is supposed to be. If you're doubting the OP's story about a difference of a few dozen points, you're just as out of touch as the company that would let him go over those points.

bananajack: 90 points and you're done? really? So you're saying Crusty is going to pass over a seasoned hand with a nearly spotless 40 year history, while they feed the other end from the CDL mills? Brilliant plan!

 

You might want to learn about PSP and CSA in general. To back up my previous statement please read below:

How does a driver's violation history impact a carrier's Safety Measurement System (SMS) evaluation? Answer

Carriers are evaluated only on inspections and crashes associated with their own U.S. DOT Number, so only violations that a driver receives while working for a motor carrier apply to that carrier's SMS evaluation. Therefore, the driver's violation history before the driver is hired and after the driver's employment is terminated will not impact a motor carrier's SMS results. However, even if a motor carrier terminates a driver, all of the driver's crashes and inspection results that he or she received while operating for that carrier still apply to the carrier's SMS evaluation for 24 months from the date of occurrence. Because the data is time-weighted, the effect of those occurrences on the motor carrier's percentile rank will diminish over the course of the 24 months.

 

Thank you for posting this Meltom.

I'm not questioning anybody's integrity here, I just think someone's embellishing a little to prove a point

You know what the difference between a fairy tale and a trucker's story is? Fairy tale starts out "Once upon a time". A trucker's story starts out "this aint no bull****"
