FMCSA provides CSA 2010 preview safety rankings

In August, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration began providing individual commercial motor carrier companies a preview of their safety rankings under the agency's new enforcement and compliance program, the Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010. The previews are designed to give carriers a clear assessment of their over-the-road performance through the seven CSA 2010 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs).

The BASICs are: unsafe driving, fatigued driving (hours-of-service), driver fitness, controlled substances/alcohol, vehicle maintenance, improper loading/cargo securement and crash history. Carriers have until Dec. 5, the national rollout of CSA 2010, to preview their safety performance data and address any unsafe behaviors that can lead to crashes and fatalities on the roadways. For complete details on the CSA 2010 program and the safety rankings preview for carriers, visit csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov.
