Pay,Does it Make New Drivers Safer ?

Just a question. Been through many company training programs with a lot of companies. Seen a lot of drivers disappear over the years for various reasons. So i'm asking a simple question, if many of the individuals throughout the course of time that signed up to drive trucks had been able to climb the the financial ladder, would it have made trucking across the board and time a safer industry. Does the FMCSA even look in to this as a factor when it comes to safety. Would all this CSA and government type enforcement's be needed if the trucking industry wasn't hammered by deregulation over time. We know some drivers are just bad, but over all can better compensation even at the low end save lives and and make trucking safer,it just something I've been pondering. What do you think ???

 

Would it make more sense to move this post to experienced drivers, they might have more to say about the subject. New drivers have a lot more to think about than just pay, but if its there it has to cushion the blow along the way. I feel like that makes common sense.
