Point break down...CSA 2010

The way it has been explained to me (so far); there would be two (2) log violations, pre-trip not noted and log not up to date, and the weight infraction. There could also be a "mechanical" infraction for improper equipment in service. This is the main area for concern on our parts as drivers...the latitude, or lack thereof, will be at the soul discretion of the LEO.

You are correct on the points are already set, but the threshold level for the initial warning letter (one to the driver and also one to the drivers company) has not been determined, still being debated. As to the different "BASICS", points are points, they accumulate just like in a game of football. Each group (refer to the different pages on my original post) is ready to go, right now they are compiling for drivers, statistics going back 3 years, and for companies 2 years. Keep in mind there will be three maybe four different company levels...as you can't match a Swift with Joe Trucker company...the size of the company will differentiate the grouping for the company warning system.

refer to above response to Oldienewbe (too many letters to remember that moniker)

The safety meeting we had, they used an example of one of our drivers (not any more anyway), and the inspection at the WY POE. After all was said and done...he accumulated 39 points in one single inspection. So watch yourselves and your actions from here on in.

As to the personal vehicle...yes any ticket you get, seat belt, cell phone use without hands free system, rolling a stop, improper lane change...anything will get you points on the CSA 2010, plus the report will be sent to your insurance carrier, and your company. TRIPLE WHAMMO

There will be 3 levels on the driver points, first level is the "standard operating" group, second will be the company better have some serious talks with said driver, and the third and final required NON-DRIVER STATUS, BUT THE COMPANY CAN ALWAYS MAKE THIS BAD BOY A DISPATCHER, OR TOILET JOCKEY.

 

I just realized something...don't both of these positions have the same job description and pay scale?

 

Yes they have WHAT?
