The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has rolled out CSA 2010 is to create a more efficient and effective way to monitor and levy enforcement against carriers of all sizes.
Beginning in 2010, ALL roadside violations (not just out of service violations) will be assessed against the carrier and operator.
Violations received will be placed into 6 categories that have been shown to cause crashes. These categories will be monitored on a federal and state level. If a specific category exceeds a predetermined threshold sanctions will be initiated against the carrier and driver to include fines, inability to transport hazardous materials, and ultimately (in the future) declaring the carrier unfit.
Violations a carrier receives will be assessed against the carrier for 24 months. Violations an operator receives at a roadside inspection will follow that operator for 36 months, regardless of which carrier the operator was with when the violation was received. Roadside performance becomes a part of the carrier's "report card" and the operator's "report card". CSA 2010 is scheduled for initial implementation November 30, 2010, with full implementation in 2011.
CSA 2010 will directly affect every interstate motor carrier
How can Shippers help?
Make sure cargo weight is correctly distributed (Violation = 21 CSA points)
Make sure sealed loads are properly blocked & braced (Violation = 36 CSA points)
