SWIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was down below 0.6 last year, but with the winter, the newbs I see we popped back up to 0.92 per million miles.

Safety was biotchin' about everyone driving faster last year after the fuel prices dropped down. Seems to be reflected in the numbers.

 

Where can I find those reports?

 

Whoops.

Now, that's funny...

 

May be I am reading it wrong BUT

Watkins had 68 accidents, 67 towaways, 13 injuries/deaths.

Swift had 1445 accidents, 1377 towaways, 456 injuries/deaths.

Both in the same 2 years.

 

Ever hear of somethin' called CSA - used to be CSA2010?

You should give up while you're ahead... or take a course in statistics.

 

Yes, but Swift also has 27 times the Vehicle Miles Traveled (1,637,678,162 vs. 61,411,780) for the measured period (2010). So unless W&S' statistics are 1/27 (or less) of Swift's, then Swift is performing better. The only category of the three you posted where W&S performed better was in injuries/deaths. I would assume that is because Swift probably has proportionately more teams driving than W&S (does W&S even have teams?). Therefore, there is a higher probability of there being two Swift drivers in every accident vs. W&S.

Also, Swift drivers average 30,856 (37%) more miles per year than W&S drivers, for the measured period.

 

NOPE!

CSA and the "numbers" aren't geared to compare two companies of different size. There are 4 "size categories" for OTR and 3 "size categories" for LTL.

This is set to be "as fair as possible" to the smaller (less than 200 trucks) companies not to be compared against Swift or Schneider with over 5000. And the "leased on" trucks also get figured into the "size category" data for all companies.

W/S is in the same grouping as Interstate, Legend, and the top of the category is Gordon. You can't "evenly" compare with the new CSA structure these companies to Swift or Schneider.

 

It has to do with crashes not miles drove. Watkins has 769 units Swift has 16216 units. Watkins only has 5% of the units to Swift.

 

someone needs to write a Java C++ program and implement it into this forum so that the page automatically refreshes it's self when ever someone posts something new so i dont have to keep reloading the page..
