CSA 2010 *USA - Truckers get, give earful at MATS
Louisville,KY,USA -The Trucker, by KEVIN JONES -16 April 2010: -- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration put on a couple of sessions to explain its Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 Initiative, the coming compliance program which includes a new measurement system, a broader array of interventions, and a new safety fitness determination method. Additionally, the agency intends to have a greater emphasis on drivers under CSA 2010... A few basics discussed during the meetings:* A driver’s record will include any roadside inspections and crashes, and violations are weighted according to the risk of leading to a crash. A driver’s history goes back three years, and any violations are additionally weighted based on how recent they are.
* The record of a driver’s roadside inspections and crashes will be available to carriers under another program, the Pre-Employment Screening Program, but a driver’s point total does not carry over to a new employer.
* Similarly, if driver leaves a carrier — or is fired for his CSA 2010 points — those points remain with the carrier until they roll off. In other words, a carrier’s score does not improve directly by getting rid of drivers — except that a high-scoring driver’s next violations will be counted against his next company.
* The CSA 2010 points are not points on a CDL — the new program has nothing to do with a driver’s motor vehicle record.
* Additionally, drivers should make sure to get the paperwork from any clean inspections, as clean inspection reports improve the scores under CSA 2010... (The Trucker: KEVIN JONESCSA 2010 educational sessions drew standing-room-only crowds of truckers at the Mid-America Truck Show)
