The trucking industry will soon see a change in the FMCSA safety rating system, Safestat. The new program, CSA 2010 will soon be underway.
As of right now, under the Safestat safety rating system, trucking companies are checked within four areas:
* Driver
* Vehicle
* Safety Management
* Accident
The CSA 2010 system will increase to seven areas:
* Unsafe Driving
* Fatigued Driving
* Driver Fitness
* Controlled Substance and Alcohol
* Vehicle Maintenance
* Improper Loading/Cargo Securement
* Crash Indicator
Key Features of CSA 2010 are to:
Increase the opportunity to have contact with more carriers and drivers
*
Use more and better data to improve performance measurements for identifying high risk carrier and driver behaviors
*
Apply a wide range of interventions to correct these high risk behaviors before they become chronic and habitual.
