So it's ok for these companies to judge and not hire a driver based on their CSA score but they don't want that same scrutiny applied to them????? Screw these big companies!!!!! Like the previous comment stated, stop screwing up!!!!!

Like DUH!!! What are you complaining about? That no one wants to give you the ability to screw up? TOO Bad! Just stop screwing up, and you will not have any scores to complain about the public seeing.
Hire PERFECT drivers. When hired make them swear under penalty of perjury, that they will never run illegal (logbooks), they will never get a traffic violation, they will never pull a trailer that will not pass a DOT Inspection except to bring it to the repair shop when safe to do so. Otherwise call road service or refuse the load. Any violations of the above instances that cause for a bad CSA score will result in termination.
Needless to say, if all companies follow this policy, the driver will not find another trucking job. Who cares? He wasn't safe anyway.
A little bit of a rocky road in the beginning but eventually everyone will have perfect drivers and perfect scores to go with it.
And I do speak from experience, no tickets and a clean record. True, I am a pain in the ass to the company and I am responsible for many timely and costly repairs for company trailers.
However, if other drivers did their job then I wouldn't be picking up the slack for everyone else.
And yes, I did get a ticket in the last year on my logbook and I did try to explain to Officer Krupkie that his so called logbook violation was not a violation but he took a special class and he knew more about logbooks than someone who has been doing logbooks since the early '70's.
So I went to court and proved him wrong!
Eventually, the BEST companies will be paying the BEST wages and benefits for the BEST drivers and everyone will be happy.
OK, maybe not the companies who continue doing business the old fashion way, but their lousy scores will eventually put them out of business and the highways will be safer for everyone.
Isn't that what it is all about anyway? Making the highways safer for everyone?
