Law Enforcement Errors Cause Problems for Motor Carriers - High CSA Scores
Submitted by Steve Vogel on Tue, 02/14/2012 - 23:26By now most of you are aware of the new scoring system that CSA 2010 has brought us, known as the Safety Measurement System (SMS). For several months now we have seen how violations found during roadside inspections turn into points that are, for lack of nicer words, held against us as motor carriers and drivers.
This new point system may have been created and implemented to bring light to carriers that they need to step up their efforts in improving safety, and to the DOT in monitoring carriers who may need to be audited, however, the system has one very large fault.

Drive Safely This 4th of July
Submitted by Admin on Mon, 06/13/2011 - 14:28Let me be one of the first to bid you a fantastic 4th of July as we begin to celebrate the independence we have won through previous battles.
Now let me offer a warning, as a way to help save the lives of you and your family. I believe the two main causes for people dying on our roads and highways are driving while fatigued and driving while distracted. Please do not allow this to happen in your vehicle. But at the same time, please be on the look-out for those around you who are practicing one of these unsafe behaviors.
CSA 2010
Submitted by Admin on Mon, 06/13/2011 - 14:28Recently, I've been getting many calls and emails from concerned motor carriers in several different types of industries regarding little bits of information they have received on the CSA 2010. Much of this information is just not true and these people are allowing themselves to be overly concerned and even stressed out, thinking that they will be required to conduct their business differently than they have ever done before, in order to meet the new requirements of CSA 2010.
Texting While Driving - Banned
Submitted by Admin on Mon, 06/13/2011 - 14:27Texting and driving has cost thousands of lives in recent years. Still, many motorists continue to send and receive text messages while they are driving their vehicles.
The federal government just issued a texting while driving ban to all commercial truck drivers and bus drivers. The fine will be up to $2,750.00.
Most people can see how dangerous it would be for bus or truck drivers to be texting while behind the wheel of their large vehicles. Yet many of those drivers don’t hold themselves to the same standard they apply to others.
