Why CSA 2010 and E-Logs are a good thing.

I think it is only fair that a company is stuck with the points for 2 years. It helps the DOT understand if the problem is with the company or was with the driver. If used properly, and I have my doubts, you could make some interesting correlations.

 

No, you think you run legal, until your next level 1 insp and a head light goes out in the coarse of the insp and you get nailed for a light out, or that brake chamber that wasn't leaking on the pretrip now has a leak. Any number of things can go bad while your driving and wont know it.

Or maybe we'll all be saying "Mr. Jose from Mexico that hauls all the US freight now, would you like pappas with your tacos sir?"

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Anytime someone says "I'm here from the government and I'm here to help" be afraid.

 

Who is going to decide if my elog is working accurately? What about computer glitches? What about dead spots? How many tickets will i have to get before someone decides that mabe elog is not working properly? Has anyone ever called the dead Air France passengers up,and asked them how impressed they were over the [magic box]? oh I forgot about the plane and passengers blown up off Long Island in the 90s?

 

Well dude I don't knw u an sure u r probably nice butt the naivety is whafting from tht comment there is always a way around something and humans will always exploit the area whenever an however they can.
With tht said iam knot so sure eobr's are as good as they say they are the bigg comapanies just tuck their tails an run cuz they know there role an the don't wanna make no waves butt I can see dispatchers an companies abusing these real easzy and if u can't figure it jus think on it awhile an u r brain will come up sum ideas

 

This whole csa thing stinks like the ######## that is dc cuz only a bunch of ###### ### lawyers could make up so much horse #### an try too sell it off as beneficial too a driver csa putts all the blame on the driver tht is driving not the idiot bee fore u or the numb nutt yard dawg pull trlr's across the lot with tires locked up seen an had too deal with it myself wasn't even my companies trlr butt I went in there an #####ed a fitt @ them suckaz target d.c. topeka,ks

 

Any cop, given enough time can find something. That's why you need a good friend in a black T/A to buzz the tower of the scale house at a buck/twenty whenever you get pulled in.

 

I just find it amazing how so many drivers are so tied to all their tech toys! Using their lap tops or smart phones to see how much time they have, a GPS to route themselves, Elogs, Qualcomm and all the other goodies!
All I have in my truck is my XM and a lap top that all I use it for is to look at sites like this when I'm killing some time.
I guess I grew up in a different era.
Oh by the way, I never ran more than 1 log book, no crystal meth, no black beauties, no tooth picks, no west coast turnarounds, didn't kill any 4 wheelers. But back in those days a truck driver was looked up to and respected. Today even with all the hi-tech toys and rules we are looked at as slobs and losers. Kinda makes you wonder?

 

This is where I agree with them (csa) because it shows your company doesnt have a good screeing process and needs one to keep from hiring a turd. Unfortunately it affects you and other good drivers but if there are other turds, they will be gone too. There is a high probability that if you have one bad driver, you may have others and this will screen the really bad ones out. It does however, create a nasty, stressful situation for all involved.

 

Personally, I don't worry too much about CSA2010. I have two things on mine, 1 brake adjustment and one low speeding ticket. I blame the first one on the shop that did not adjust up the brakes when they put in new brakes the day before the inspection. The second one was my fault. Was not paying attention and did not get slowed down enough rolling into a very small town in southern ND. Boss did not even chew me out for it because I had beat myself up over it enough. It had been close to 20 years since my last speeding ticket.
