Do good inspections offset bad inspections with CSA?

No.. bad inspections .. any inspection stsy on your mvr for 3 years

 

the point value on your csa lessons every year. After the third year it will drop off . Clean inspections look good on your record, but i don't think they make your points go away any faster. Also, your company got points also, but they fall off after two years. When you got the warning did they do an inspection? If not, then you won't have any csa points.

 

according to csa. good inspections will lower your safety stat.

there's a guy that's been talked about on the radio all week. he has 3 trucks. he drives one of them. he has one driver that got two inspections in a rather quick time frame. that caused a high safety stat. now all 3 trucks get pulled in quite frequently. they all are passing inspections. and yet his safety stat is now maxed out.

i've been monitoring our own safety stat. for the company i haul for. it has also been going higher. even though our percentage has dropped due to clean inspections.

so, the answer would be no. clean inspections do nothing to lower your stat. it's just more BS from fmcsa.

 

yeah, I heard that on the radio myself.

 

Are you an O/O or company driver?

If you are running your own numbers yes clean inspection will lower your peer group rating.

If you are a company driver you have no points or peer group rating save a program confined to interventions against a carrier targeting some of their more egregious drivers. You do have a 3 year inspection record and a five year crash record prospective employers can request with your permission.

 

How does CSA account for drivers who run I-10 across the Banning scale everyday and get a level 3 every two weeks and a level one every 90 days? They dont!

You dont want to work for supermegacarrierfleet that cares about an unfair system like CSA. Bring them your MVR that shows how many moving violations you have been CONVICTED of (not accused by some puke pig).
Once lawmakers begin to realize that most puke pigs dont like truck drivers they will abolish CSA. Giving a puke pig the power to end a drivers career by merely accusing him then issuing a warning (so he gets no chance to defend himself) has become a favorite game for them. Its an abuse of the system and congressmembers are hearing about it.

 

I would say your comment of "Puke Pig" kinda puts into light why you would have trouble crossing any scale. Been awhile because I do not care if Cali falls from the face of the earth but I never had a problem at Banning. We have similar scales here people irrationally fear and make up fantastic stories of. Hell I heard just the other day the new ones at Ardmore(I-65 NB mm6) have to pay for their new coop so have been writing an inordinate amount of tickets to poor ol' broke down truckers. Manchester is supposedly equally vicious. Never had any problems at either one.

But yes all of those inspections at Banning or any scale will be factored into a companies SMS ranking.

 

Simply not worth commenting on. Problem is obvious.
