Why CSA2010 scares me

Anyways, my point here is that the 4-wheelers in government who have dreamt up this bullshitt CSA scoring system, are not playing favorably to a guy who has been out here since the late 80's and has never wrecked himself or others once ever. But if one single light is out and the other 59 are still working and such is noted on the inspection form, it will deemed as a potential cause to CRASH. CSA is supposedly about CRASHES and the prevention of such. Why the government go to so many extreemes to prove an invalid point is insane.

My personal opinion take 1 - I bet money there are numerous government people involved the CSA regs who have in their 4-wheelers wrecked themselves or others and or have done illegal drugs at some point in their life, yet I have not done either in my life once ever.

My personal opinion take 2 - I will bet that there will be some trucker out there who will get screwed over for a "violations found - side marker light out" yet has 59 illuminated ones. It'll probably happen to a trucker driving in one of the communist states like Caliphornia/New york/Illinoiz, who has a million safe miles under his belt. But the 24 year old kid officer writing up the level I, II or III inspection will see this "infraction" as a golden opportunity to justify his existence.

Any of you newb wannabe truckers reading this should re-consider such line of work and instead seek employment with the government. That is where the jobs are at and will be for at least the next generation. UCR is a perfect example.

And I'll add this - I have never taken an illegal drug in my life, unlike the POS in the whitehouse who has openly admited to drug use.

SUMMARY - my urine has been clean since birth and I have never once caused a wreck......I am far cleaner than the axxholes in government who make and pass laws.

Oppologies for the rant. I just have a serious distrust for the drug using, self empowering, self serving, corrupt government officials with no talent driving their 4-wheelers who imply I am a potentialy a crash waiting to happen.

You need to go to the FMCSA web site and download the list. It changes all the time, so I would not waste money on one of those booklets at the truck stop, since they are incorrect on many things.

Just go to www.fmcsa.dot.gov and look it up. I keep a current copy on my desktop.
Also sign up for e-mail alerts while on the site. This way when changes are made to CSA, or other announcements they will send you an e-mail.

What I wonder about is when the hours of service rules change. When they did the last big change in HOS IIRC most agencies only issued warning tickets for the first 30 days. Now for the purpose of CSA there i no such thing as a warning so I guess we'd better have it figured out before it goes live.
