You are saying that my logic is that because I was a safe driver, there are no bad drivers.
I did not say that. You are putting words in my mouth that I did not say.
Then I say that there are a few bad apples. Yes, there are! But, since the introduction of CSA2010, they will be weeded out more positively and aggressively. They will not have to (in your words) kill somebody to get weeded out. In case you are unfamiliar with this program, here are some of the high points.
Every contact that a driver has will go on his permanent record. Whenever you cross a scale, get stopped for a spot check, get stopped for any kind of violation, it also becomes part of that driver's record. That includes equipment violations that were previously only held against the carrier. It does not matter what kind of reference a carrier gives a driver. A carrier looking to hire a driver will be able to look at this applicant's record and decide for themselves.
Previously, things like equipment violations, overweight, and the like were charged to the carrier, and the driver walked away untouched by them. This system identifies careless or sloppy drivers very quickly. If you don't do your proper pretrip and post trip inspections, it will come back to bite you. It just isn't like the old days when a driver could go from one carrier to another with nothing following him.
I can't speak to your reference to the guy on YouTube, since I haven't seen him.
However, if you want to discuss, I'll be happy to oblige. Just don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say. That isn't a discussion. That is just wrong.

Today's Featured Article - Self-Starting Tractor - McCormick 10-20 - by Francis J. Robinson. I remember it very clearly even though it was almost 50 years ago and I was only about seven years old. My Dad had purchased a new Ford-Ferguson tractor and basic set of implements when he started farming just about the beginning of W.W.II. It was considered a pretty nice outfit for their 70 acre central Indiana grain and livestock farm. Dad spent several years during the war testing aircraft engines at Allison Engineering in Indianapolis working seven days a week on a twelve hour night sh
