If the estimates are correct and nearly 200,000 drivers are going to lose their jobs over this i can all but guarentee there will be a class action lawsuit against the DOT. Will the drivers win? Nope.

Life in the world of trucking is not gonna change all that much.

These companies from what I have seen are run by Safety Clubs....not safety depts.

Its all a joke
Then how come nobody is laughing?

I work on the inside and not in the driver's seat and I can tell you that every company out there is worried sick about this.

The people that are saying this is the biggest change ever to hit trucking are on the right track. And right now, no one knows exactly how they are going to deal with it.

Fred is right about one thing...do what you're supposed to do and follow the regs. But what happens when that 10 years at 1 company top notch driver has a bad day? He'll be looking for a new job because the carrier won't be able to carry his points. It's going to happen and it's going to happen a whole helluva lot.

Another point of control for big government. :surrender:

For those not at all familiar with CSA 2010 (I don't think this link is posted...) Here's a good place to start.

This may not be the only thing we will need to deal with. There is a senator from New Jersey who wants to force all owner operators and carriers to put black boxes in their trucks, regardless of safety record.

If everyone is out of a job who's gonna deliver the goods? Sounds like Y2K.

I dont think the version presented to us will be the one that is implemented as a final bill.

Yea, but we still need to panic:lol::lol:

OOIDA seems to be using this as a recruiting pitch. Makes me suspicious.
