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:
Yes and no. I agree with your opinion of big govt. on this particular issue, but......
I'm not worried just because the companies are worried. Management and I have different interests. They want a large supply of cheap drivers. It's in my best interests to have the supply of drivers limited, thus creating upward pressure on wages.
Under CSA 2010 I don't think a driver will lose his job because of "one bad day" I do think it will force companies to shed some good drivers that have not-so-good records. But, those will be drivers with a pattern of problems, not a single bad day. Once again, better for me with my spotless record.

You can find lots of other interesting threads there too, including Floored's wedding photos from last week. And no, it's not the Rev.
