    Does anyone happen to know about the maximum number of safety points you can get before they will terminate you?

    I know that's a bad question to be fretting, but my PFP said I already had two safety points from my time with my trainer.

    I just backed into another truck while at a parking lot. No major damage, but I still reported it. I don't know how many safety points it's worth either. I'm just really worried about getting fired as it's my second week and I've really been enjoying my job at Maverick.

    I was pleased right up until this happened as I was having a great day right up until then.

    I think each incident is either 2 or 3 points and can get points removed by completing a safety class. You can get 150 points a month and they are wiped clean the next month. Accident points not sure if they are in the same category


    The points you got with your trainer were probably log violations and get wiped clean the following month

    Ask your f/m, that's what they're there for.

    6 safety points is termination...the number of points per incident varies depending on severity of the incident/ticket/etc.

    Safety points are NOT the same as the log violation points...too many log violation points in a 2 month period will get you a safety point....

    Safety points are on a rolling 12 month calendar...they drop off 1 year from the date you receive them, or you can take the driver improvement class and lose them that way....
