Motor Carriers & Drivers

Another example of government interference driven by C.R.A.S.H. PATT & all the rest of that bunch that think that Joan Claybrook, & Daphne Izer are the second coming of the deity. NONE of these people have EVER driven a truck, they wouldn't know a legal logbook if it hit them in the face! Yes truck accidents are BAD but most accidents are caused time & time again by an attention deficit car driver too busy talking on cell phone, playing with the radio or themselves while putting on makeup or adjusting their pantyhose!

You know what this means? Get ready to be delayed at every scale house, rest area or other wide spot in the road where a constable can set up a roadside inspection.
I am not looking forward to this!!

For the full scoop on this and all the boring details and how the "points" are determined and what is charged to you the driver. Some of this is way off base. "Should Failure to list carrier name in duty status records" be charged 2 points to the driver while "Smoking less than 25 feet from empty cargo tank used for flammables" be charged only one point? Should a "False entry on medical examiner's certificate" be charged to the driver? I don't think many of us are qualified medical examiners nor would know what answer to put on the form. If you burn out a headlight there is six points. That is total crap.

The ATA has also put their $.03 into the pot with a response to this. Some of their stuff makes more logic but remember they are protecting the member carriers not the driver.

Some of this stuff is going to hit drivers like a ton of bricks since now the carriers can access the information from the feds. While it could weed out the poor drivers I feel that good ones could be hit too.

And all this is in the interest of safety or could it be more for revenue enhancement for the states and feds!
