The new CSA scores are just another thing to put us at a competitive disadvantage. If additional roadside inspections are performed as a result of this, this will delay the movement of linehaul freight which could lead to a promised service date to a customer being missed, or in the case of what I now do, city p&d, a pickup being missed or delivery not attempted where freight would be riding on the trailer all day for nothing. Do the customers care? For the most part the answer is no, because we are heavily into picking up for 3rd party logisitics (3PL's) providers like CH Robinson and Freightquote.com, where lowest price is the only thing that matters. This CSA news, in my viewpoint, is mostly going to be an inconvenience for our drivers, because we will be spending more time dealing with the authorities, and less time moving freight whether for the linehaul relay or a customer. Remember, we drivers are YRC to the public, the DOT, and everyone else.
