Roadside Inspections * USA - CSA 2010 is coming
New carrier and driver safety rating system being implemented by the FMCSA
USA -Truck News (Toronto,ONT,CAN) -14 Dec 2009: -- If you drive trucks into the US (or send them there), you need to get up to speed on CSA 2010 – a new carrier and driver safety rating system being implemented by the FMCSA. It's already up and running in eight states on a pilot project basis and will be rolled out completely by the end of 2010. The biggest change is that drivers will be assessed their own safety rating and it will directly impact the rating of the carrier they're working for... Every 30 days, drivers and carriers will be scored based on their on-road performance. Even minor defects discovered during a roadside inspection will count against the driver and the fleet – not just out-of-service violations. When CSA 2010 is implemented, things are going to change for carriers and drivers... If you're a safe, compliant driver – congratulations, your stock is about to go up substantially. If you're a driver that has trouble adhering to the rules and you bounce from carrier to carrier leaving a trail of violations and destruction in your wake, you will no longer be employable by US-bound carriers. With your safety rating directly attached to theirs, good luck finding a carrier willing to take a flyer on you just because you've got a pulse and they have a load to move... The good news is CSA 2010 just may weed out the fly-by-night carriers and drivers and get them off the roads, for the betterment of the entire industry...Labels: trucking inspections
