The Bible: 7 Deadly "Sins", CSA 2010: ?? Deadly "Tens". What are they?

1. Reckless driving (go figure, huh?). What constitutes "reckless driving"?

 

My turn again already, okay!

2. Driver uses or is in possession of drugs.

 

3. Driving after being declared out-of-service ​

 

5. Just about everything that has to do with cargo securement is a 10. Driver is responsible even if he/she wasn't allowed to inspect the load? Comments? Clarifications?

 

I've got ain'ts in my pants! Due diligence done dumb-founded dis dude. Maybe some discussion about what CSA 2010 ain't will help me to get rid of those little rascals. Hep me!

 

I'm wondering if LEOs will get more aggresive in finding "anything and everything" possible during roadsides. Are they going to be under the gun to provide massive amounts of data for a new, data hungry system. I'm not faulting law enforcers. DOT through the U.S. Treasury has spent many millions of $$ on this deal. They've gotta see it through now...come Hell or high water, don't you think?

 

Step back up on the soapbox, AgLaw, you are preaching to the choir! One of the inequities I see in this whole thing is the hoops a driver has to jump through (DataQ) to protect himself/herself. One of the scariest issues I have with entering this industry as a driver is the possibility, even if it is a remote possibility, that my career could be cut short only to discover later, maybe much later, that the reason my career ended was unjustified. What I mean is, I could be terminated by one carrier and be unhireable by another carrier only to have my record expunged later down the road. Fat lot of good it'll do me if it takes months and months for the expunging to happen. Being off the road for any length of time these days opens up a whole new can of worms.
