The points were just a few shy of enough to void McCurdy's lease with the carrier, he was told.
For those who don't recall the early days of the CSA safety-measurement program, the A in the acronym stands for accountability. Yet this sort of accountability isn't, McCurdy felt, what roadside inspections were designed for. The inspector in this case in Washington State did his job to the letter, and caught the in-transit flattened tire in plenty time to save any real damaging, unsafe outcome.
For all that, McCurdy is thankful. "I think that these inspections are good. They should be preventive things," he said. "Nobody wants to go down the road with flat tires."
Owner-operator McCurdy pulls leased to Bennett Motor Express currently with this 2019 Mack Anthem and 53-foot Trailmobile flatbed conestoga.
