    Spazz is a cheerleader for anyone connected to fmsca or
    any agency, could be one of them for all anyone knows.
    This guy/gal is off in la la land so no need in wasting your time.
    He thinks anything harmful to drivers or companies is good.

    Case in point, I was alerted by another driver that both my taillamps and turn signals were out on the left side of my trailer. They were working when I did my pretrip. I stopped to check them and low and behold, BOTH pigtails had worked their way out at the same time. I don't know how it could have happened but it did. Now if a DOT had seen that instead of another trucker......

    Well that is an outright lie. Points are capped for any one inspection. You simply will not get 55-70 points.

    Simple comparison of how many in your peer group (the entire purpose of CSA) will show a carrier with poor equipment standards. Like the fantasy you derive your name from your example simply isn't accurate.

    Yep. The stepped up inspections showed a company working in the shadows off invalid numbers(now originally they were good probably an insurance deal as evidenced by their multiple lack of insurance citations).

    Like I said 1 down 10,000 to go.

    I guess there you go, Revolution1911 is absolutely correct you are in la la land if you think they wouldn't catch invalid DOT numbers without CSA. Heck, I've seen them running numbers on scales during roll bys(pre-CSA)... Really, and I mean Really? You honestly thinks it's due to CSA enforcement that caught them?

    Unfreaken Believable.

    Is that how they got caught? Maybe maybe not. The fact is they were out here just like the other 10,000 yack offs that need to go. That justifies a system to track compliance failures.

    You'll forgive me if I point out that what someone basing their life off a work of fiction calls la la land is of little relevance to me.

    ROFLOAO,

    Work of fiction huh?

    Are you a cop? A wanna be cop? Perhaps a mall cop washout? You cannot be a truck driver, I don't believe it.

    Another one that I missed the order being issued on.

    I can not be an Officer because I would have to take an oath to uphold laws I have no belief in. My integrity matters to me so when I decided to forego my chosen labor LEO was not a viable option for me. Truck driving seemed the simplest task that could meet the needs I had for interaction with society as a whole. Or to put it more simply to earn the fiat currency required to function in this society.

    Whether I am a driver or not bears little relevance to my opinion other than to verify my opinion of 1 out of 3 drivers I see operating on roads with my family.

    In other words, you don't get along with others. Your not a people person. Gasp! No, say it isn't so...

    Now THIS I believe!
