There is something else you need to consider about your safety rating. If you lose your job because of excessive acceleration there is a very good chance you won’t get picked up by other companies.
Why should they hire you? After all, they don’t want your tainted record associated with their company and they will hire only the best drivers out there!
Passengers Can Get Injured Due to Excessive Acceleration
Excessive acceleration can harm more than your safety rating, the company safety rating, and the truck. It can actually cause injuries to any passengers that are riding in the truck with you.
That’s right, you risking hurting those you care about. Whether it is your darling spouse, your co-worker (if you are doing team driving), or the person you met in the lot the night before.
The sudden stops can force them to fly out, or they might get whiplash from being jerked against the seatbelt. It could cause an anxiety attack from the fear cause by excessive acceleration.
It could cause epilepsy from the lights whizzing by at ludicrous speed.
