[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 360065, member: 10234"] There seems to be a real discrepancy between the real world costs of running the business and the "on paper" costs. I can't quite figure out how this happens, but it must be happening. While the rise in accidents (at least in part) could be contributed to the extended hours the driver is working (fatigue), it doesn't seem that it shows up on paper that way. Therefore, it must be the lack of knowledge (on the drivers part) in things such as the Five Seeing Habits, Space and Visibility, etc. Fatigue can have a cumulative effect. One long, heavy day doesn't necessarily equate into a safety problem. But pile them on, one after the other, throw in problems that need to be attended to at home (leaving precious little time for rest), and you get a recipe for disaster. So, yeah,........I'd say safety ,as it relates to over-dispatching, should be a huge concern from top to bottom. [/QUOTE]
