CSA 2010 Training Module

The document discusses the Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) program developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to improve commercial motor vehicle safety. CSA 2010 tracks carrier and driver safety performance and intervention levels based on violations across seven behavioral categories. It provides greater oversight of drivers and carriers and aims to reduce crashes and fatalities through interventions tailored to identified safety issues.

2 Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) is a new safety measurement tool developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It’s primary purpose is to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities throughout the transportation industry. The FMCSA will track and report the safety performance of motor carriers and drivers. If the FMCSA determines that the motor carrier or driver is operating unsafely it will step in with an “INTERVENTION” based upon the severity of the infraction. All drivers will be tracked and scored by the FMCSA and based upon that score could be subject to severe penalties. What is CSA 2010?
3 The New CSA 2010 Operational Model Has 4 Major Components Safety Data Collection This data is obtained by looking at your crash and safety- related violations that are discovered during roadside inspections. Safety Measurement System CSA 2010 measures the data collected in #1 to identify driver and carrier performance/behavior to determine if those behaviors could reasonably lead to crashes or other unsafe activities. Safety Evaluation CSA 2010 helps correct high risk behavior by contacting more carriers and drivers with “INTERVENTIONS” tailored to the specific safety problem. Your safety record is compared to other drivers within your peer group. Intervention These are corrective actions (warning letters, safety investigations) that will be issued to carriers and drivers who are operating unsafely. Their purpose is to inform you of unsafe behaviors and help you correct them so that you operate safely! How Does CSA 2010 Work?
4 CSA 2010 Proposed Operational Model
5 You’ll still have to comply with all the same safety rules, but your violations of those rules will be placed into seven (7) categories, called the BASICs, or Behavioral Analysis Safety Improvement Categories: #1 – UNSAFE DRIVING (STAND ALONE) Violations include speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, and inattention. #2 – FATIGUED DRIVING (STAND ALONE) Violations of the HOS regulations, failing to complete your log, exceeding the driving limits, driving while fatigued, failing to retain your logs. #3 – DRIVER FITNESS Violations driving a CMV: 1) without the proper license or endorsements; 2) without being medically qualified; 3) while disqualified; 4) carrying hazardous material without proper training. #4 – CRASH HISTORY DOT accidents only #5 – VEHICLE MAINTENANCE Violations involving improper or inadequate maintenance or vehicle condition such as defective brakes, lights or other safety-related components. Failure to make required repairs and/or failure to complete daily or annual inspections. #6 – IMPROPER LOADING or CARGO SECUREMENT Failing to use enough securement straps. Failing to use a placard. Using a knotted tie down. Oversize/Overweight. Pushing a loaded bus. #7 – CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE or ALCOHOL Being under the influence of controlled substances. Possessing alcohol in a CMV. Using alcohol 4 hours before driving. Violating an out-of-service order related to drug or alcohol use. CSA 2010 BASICs – Behavioral Analysis Safety Improvement Categories
6Possible violations under this BASIC: 33 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 30 (average severity = 3.0) BASIC #1 – Unsafe Driving (STAND ALONE) Unsafe Driving Safety Violations Severity Rating Reckless driving 10 Failing to obey a traffic control device. 5 Following to close 5 Improper lane changes, turns or passing. 5 Speeding 5 Failing to yield right of way. 5 Failing to stop at a railroad crossing when required. 5 Failing to use caution for a hazardous condition. 5 Using or equipping a CMV with a radar detector. 5 Failing to use a seat belt. 1 Failing to use hazard warning flashers. 1 Unauthorized passengers 1 EXAMPLES OF UNSAFE DRIVING VIOLATIONS The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. When determining your monthly grade on unsafe driving, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — for your RoadLink’s grade, it’s 24 months. • The types of violations committed — (see table to the right). • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. HOW WILL UNSAFE DRIVING AFFECT ME? If your personal record includes violations for unsafe driving (even if you weren’t placed out of service), your safety ranking — and that of your company — will be affected. This could result with the FMCSA invoking the “INTERVENTION PROCESS”. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene. This is a stand-alone BASIC — a failing grade in this BASIC alone could have serious consequences! HOW IS UNSAFE DRIVING MEASURED? Using violations of certain federal safety rules and state traffic laws recorded during roadside inspections and traffic enforcement during the past 3 years. WHAT IS UNSAFE DRIVING? Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in a dangerous or careless manner.
7 BASIC #2 – Fatigued Driving (STAND ALONE) Possible violations under this BASIC: 63 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 60 (average severity = 4) Fatigued Driving Safety Violations Severity Rating Operating a CMV while ill or fatigued 10 Violating an out-of-service order related to HOS. 10 Violating any federal or state HOS limits. 7 Submitting a false log. 7 Failing to complete a log, or logging improperly. 5 Failing to keep a log current. 5 Failing to record days spent off duty. 5 Failing to submit logs within 13 days. 5 Failing to retain previous 7 days’ logs. 5 Violating a log “form & manner” rule. 2 Violating an on-board recorder requirement. 1 Your grade on this BASIC will be updated every 30 days. The FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table to the right). • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. HOW WILL FATIGUED DRIVING AFFECT ME? A history of fatigued driving violations (even if you weren’t placed out of service, and even if you switched companies) will affect your safety grade, and that of your company. This could lead to contact from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, ranging from a warning letter to an extensive audit. You could be fined. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene. HOW IS FATIGUED DRIVING MEASURED? Using violations of Parts 392 and 395 recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. WHAT IS FATIGUED DRIVING? Driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) while ill, fatigued, or in violation of the hours-of-service rules. FATIGUED DRIVING VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases the severity by 2 points.
8 BASIC #3 – Driver Fitness Possible violations under this BASIC: 52 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 47 (average severity = 3.7) Driver Fitness Safety Violations Severity Rating Operating a CMV with more than 1 driver’s license. 10 Failing to comply with an out-of-service order. 10 Failing to notify licensing agency of traffic conviction 6 Failing to notify carrier of conviction within 30 days. 6 Driving a CMV while disqualified. 6 Driving a CMV w/o transferring CDL to state of res. 6 Driving a CMV without being qualified. 6 Driving a CMV under age 21. 6 Failing the English language standard. 6 Driving a CMV w/o proper training or experience. 6 Failing to complete a road test or equivalent. 6 Your safety rating is updated every 30 days. When measuring your performance on this BASIC, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table to the right). • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. HOW WILL DRIVER FITNESS AFFECT ME? Driving a CMV without being properly qualified and licensed will hurt your safety grade and that of your company. This could lead to intervention by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, ranging from a warning letter to being ordered to shut down. You personally could also be fined. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene. HOW IS DRIVER FITNESS MEASURED? Using violations of federal safety rules recorded during roadside inspections in the past 3 years. Ensuring driver fitness is among the “essential” safety management controls that a company must have in place. WHAT IS A DRIVER FITNESS VIOLATION? Driving CMV while being unfit to drive due to lack of training, experience, and/or medical qualifications. DRIVER FITNESS VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases severity by 2 points.
9 BASIC #4 – Crash History WHAT IS CRASH HISTORY? A history or pattern of crash involvement, including frequency and severity. Unlike the other BASICs, crash history is not based on a set of behaviors. Rather, it is a consequence of behavior and may indicate a problem that needs attention. HOW WILL MY CRASH HISTORY AFFECT ME? If you’re driving a CMV and are involved in a reportable crash — whether you were at fault or not — information about that crash will be sent to the FMCSA and will be attributed to both you and your company. Your crash record will follow you from company to company. The more crashes you and your company experience, the worse your grades on the crash BASIC and the more likely it is the FMCSA will intervene to find out what you might be doing wrong. If there’s a fatal accident, the FMCSA will likely show up for a full-blown audit. HOW IS CRASH HISTORY MEASURED? Using crash data reported by state and local enforcement agencies over the past 3 years. When determining your monthly grade in the Crash History BASIC relative to your peers, the FMCSA will consider: • Reportable crashes from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • Crash severity — crashes involving injury, a fatality, or a release of hazardous materials will cause more harm to your grade. • The age of the crashes — more recent crashes bear more weight.
Possible violations under this BASIC: 273 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 200 (average severity = 3.5)1010 BASIC #5 – Vehicle Maintenance Vehicle Maintenance Safety Violations Severity Rating Violating a vehicle out-of-service order. 10 Violating the tire tread standards. 8 Suspension-related violations 7 Violating the lighting standards 6 Steering-related violations 6 No pre-trip inspection 4 Brake-related violations 4 Failing to be knowledgeable of Part 396 rules. 4 Failing to complete a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report. 4 Reflective sheeting/reflector violations 3 Underinflated tire or excessive load on tire. 3 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases the severity by 2 points. Your performance in this BASIC is updated every month. When grading you, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table at the right). • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. HOW WILL IMPROPER VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AFFECT ME? Vehicle maintenance is a shared responsibility between you and your company. Violations for failing to inspect and maintain a CMV will harm your safety rating and RoadLink’s. As a result, you and/or RoadLink could be warned, audited, fined, and/or ordered to fix the problems. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene, even if you switch companies. HOW IS VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MEASURED? Using violations of federal safety rules recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. Failure to inspect and maintain vehicles properly is a “fundamental” violation that can put a carrier out of business. WHAT’S CONSIDERED A VEHICLE MAINTENANCE VIOLATION? Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that has critical safety defects due to improper or inadequate maintenance.
Possible violations under this BASIC: 506 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 249 (average severity = 5.4) 11 BASIC #6 – Improper Loading/Cargo Securement Improper Loading/Cargo Securement Safety Violations Severity Rating Inadequate securement of hazardous materials. 10 Failing to secure load properly. 10 Failing to inspect cargo while enroute. 10 Failing to use flag on projecting load. 10 Using damaged securement systems (tie downs). 10 Using to few or no tie downs. 10 Parking brake not set while loading/unloading HAZMAT. 7 Size or weight violations 7 Driving with obstructions to view or movement. 7 Pushing or towing a loaded bus. 7 Improper warning flag placement. 7 LOADING & SECUREMENT VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY - The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases the severity by 2 points. When determining your monthly grade on Cargo Loading & Securement, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table at the right). • The age of the violations — recent violations bear more weight. • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. HOW WILL IMPROPER LOADING & SECUREMENT AFFECT ME? Aside from facing cargo claims, drivers who fail to properly load and/or secure their cargo can affect their — and their company’s — safety rating, which could get the attention of the FMCSA. This could lead to more roadside inspections, a warning letter, an audit, or even an out-of-service order. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the higher the likelihood the FMCSA will intervene, even if you switch companies. HOW IS THE LOADING & SECUREMENT BASIC MEASURED? Using violations of certain federal safety rules recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. WHAT’S CONSIDERED A LOADING & SECUREMENT VIOLATION? A CMV incident resulting from shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, or the unsafe handling of hazardous materials.
Possible violations under this BASIC: 3 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 3 (average severity = 8.3)12 BASIC #7 – Controlled Substance or Alcohol Controlled Substance/Alcohol Safety Violations Severity Rating Violating an out-of service order related to drug or alcohol use. 10 Using or possessing controlled substances. 10 Possessing, using or being under the influence of alcohol 4 hours prior to duty. 5 DRUG AND ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Your safety rating is updated every 30 days. When grading you on this BASIC, the FMCSA will consider: • Drug/alcohol violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade • The types of violations committed — some bear more weight than others (see table at the right). • The age of the violations — the more recent the violation, the worse it is. HOW WILL DRUG & ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS AFFECT ME? If your record includes violations of the drug or alcohol rules, your safety ranking (and that of your company) will be damaged. The result could be intervention by the FMCSA, including more roadside inspections, a warning letter, an audit, or even an out-of-service order. You personally could be fined. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will take action. HOW IS THE DRUG & ALCOHOL BASIC MEASURED? Using violations of federal safety rules 392.4 and 392.5, as recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. Prevention of drug and alcohol violations is among the “essential” safety management controls that a company must have in place, and drug and alcohol violations are among the “fundamental” violations that can result in an automatic failing grade. WHAT’S COVERED IN THE DRUG & ALCOHOL BASIC? Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) while in possession of alcohol or illegal drugs, or impaired due to alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications.
13 CSA 2010 Interventions/Corrective Actions Intervention #1 “The Warning Letter” Warning letters are sent to carriers when they perform poorly in one or more BASICs. The letter describes the apparent safety problems and the potential consequences of continued violations. Intervention #2 “The Targeted Roadside Inspection” Once a warning letter is issued, targeted roadside inspections are used to verify that the warning letter was taken seriously. The roadside inspector will focus on the safety problems raised in the warning letter. Intervention #3 “The Investigation” These include an off-site investigation of your compliance paperwork (at an FMCSA office), a focused on-site investigation that concentrates on an identified safety problem, or a comprehensive on- site investigation, used when a carrier exhibits broad and complex safety problems and is failing on multiple BASICs. Intervention #4 “The Cooperative Safety Plan” A cooperative safety plan is a compliance improvement plan developed and implemented voluntarily by a motor carrier in cooperation with the FMCSA. It’s usually triggered after investigation reveals safety problems that the carrier expresses a willingness to fix. Intervention #5 “The Notice” A Notice of Violation is used to put a carrier on notice of specific regulatory violations. The carrier would then have to provide evidence the problems were fixed or successfully challenge the violations. A Notice of Claim includes a fine and is used to deter severe or persistent unsafe behavior. Intervention #6 “The Settlement Agreement” The settlement agreement is used to contractually bind the carrier to take actions to improve safety while avoiding fines or suspension. It allows the carrier to avoid significant penalties by committing to major safety improvements. Failure to comply with the agreement can result in the maximum fine. Intervention #7 “The Unfit Suspension” With an unfit suspension, a motor carrier is basically placed out of business, ordered to stop operating commercial motor vehicles due to a willful disregard for safety. This is the most severe form of intervention available.

15 CSA 2010 Driver Scorecard
16 Frequently Asked Questions • Will I still receive a violation if I’m not cited? Yes. All unsafe driving violations reported at the roadside will be factored into your grade on this BASIC, even if a citation or ticket is not issued! • Is maintaining my logs “real-time” really that important? Violations of the hours-of-service rules were cited almost 740,000 times in 2008, or almost one-third of all traffic enforcement violations recorded that year. • How much time do I have to notify the state if I receive a conviction? If you have a CDL and are convicted of violating a state or local traffic control law (other than parking) in a state other than the one that issued your license, you are required to notify the licensing state within 30 days. • Is it ok to go ahead and drive to my home domicile if given an out-of-service order? Absolutely not! Operating a vehicle that has been placed out of service (i.e., “jumping” an OOS order) could cost you up to $2,100 in fines, and RoadLink up to $16,000. • What exactly is a DOT reportable crash? • A DOT reportable crash involves a vehicle being towed from the scene, an injury, or a fatality. It must be reported immediately to your dispatcher or Regional Safety Manager. • Why is Controlled Substance/Alcohol listed as a CSA 2010 BASIC? Two (2) DUI or DWI convictions in any type of vehicle can result in lifetime disqualification. The key here is does not have to be a CMV. • Does my performance affect RoadLink’s safety rating? • Yes! Your performance in the BASICs has an immediate effect on RoadLink’s safety rating, and your own!
17 Frequently Asked Questions •How can I avoid intervention and improve my safety record? Learn all you can about CSA 2010. Take a look at your safety record and see how you’re doing on the BASICs. Is there room for improvement? Strive for “clean” inspections. Work with your RoadLink representative to make sure your safety record is accurate, so bad data doesn’t come around to bite you. Participate in company safety programs like refresher training and safety meetings. Always drive safely and in compliance! • What are the BASICs? The Behavioral Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories, or BASICs, are seven categories of safety-related violations on which you and RoadLink will be graded under CSA 2010. They are: unsafe driving, fatigued driving, driver fitness, drugs/alcohol, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading/securement, and crash history. • How far back does the FMCSA look at my safety record? Under CSA 2010, violation and crash data collected in the prior 36 months will affect your safety grade. The safer you drive today, the better your record will be tomorrow! • How will the FMCSA intervene? The FMCSA will have a variety of new tools in its arsenal for making sure you’re operating safely and in compliance, before a crash occurs: • Warning letters • Roadside inspections • Off-site or on-site audits • Cooperative safety plans • Notices of violation or claim • Settlement agreements • Out-of-service orders • Why don’t all violations count the same? When a carrier or driver’s performance in each BASIC is “graded,” some violations will count more than others depending on: • The amount of risk involved — reckless driving counts more than a failure to use your emergency flashers. • How old is the violation — newer violations bear more weight, but violations can still haunt you for 3 years, or RoadLink for 2 years. • How many inspections you’ve had — a single bad inspection won’t ruin your record. • Are out-of-service violations the only violations that count toward my safety record? No! Under CSA 2010 both out-of-service and non-out-of-service violations count against your record.

    2 Comprehensive Safety Analysis2010 (CSA 2010) is a new safety measurement tool developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It’s primary purpose is to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities throughout the transportation industry. The FMCSA will track and report the safety performance of motor carriers and drivers. If the FMCSA determines that the motor carrier or driver is operating unsafely it will step in with an “INTERVENTION” based upon the severity of the infraction. All drivers will be tracked and scored by the FMCSA and based upon that score could be subject to severe penalties. What is CSA 2010?
  • 3.
    3 The New CSA 2010 Operational Model Has4 Major Components Safety Data Collection This data is obtained by looking at your crash and safety- related violations that are discovered during roadside inspections. Safety Measurement System CSA 2010 measures the data collected in #1 to identify driver and carrier performance/behavior to determine if those behaviors could reasonably lead to crashes or other unsafe activities. Safety Evaluation CSA 2010 helps correct high risk behavior by contacting more carriers and drivers with “INTERVENTIONS” tailored to the specific safety problem. Your safety record is compared to other drivers within your peer group. Intervention These are corrective actions (warning letters, safety investigations) that will be issued to carriers and drivers who are operating unsafely. Their purpose is to inform you of unsafe behaviors and help you correct them so that you operate safely! How Does CSA 2010 Work?

    5 You’ll still haveto comply with all the same safety rules, but your violations of those rules will be placed into seven (7) categories, called the BASICs, or Behavioral Analysis Safety Improvement Categories: #1 – UNSAFE DRIVING (STAND ALONE) Violations include speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, and inattention. #2 – FATIGUED DRIVING (STAND ALONE) Violations of the HOS regulations, failing to complete your log, exceeding the driving limits, driving while fatigued, failing to retain your logs. #3 – DRIVER FITNESS Violations driving a CMV: 1) without the proper license or endorsements; 2) without being medically qualified; 3) while disqualified; 4) carrying hazardous material without proper training. #4 – CRASH HISTORY DOT accidents only #5 – VEHICLE MAINTENANCE Violations involving improper or inadequate maintenance or vehicle condition such as defective brakes, lights or other safety-related components. Failure to make required repairs and/or failure to complete daily or annual inspections. #6 – IMPROPER LOADING or CARGO SECUREMENT Failing to use enough securement straps. Failing to use a placard. Using a knotted tie down. Oversize/Overweight. Pushing a loaded bus. #7 – CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE or ALCOHOL Being under the influence of controlled substances. Possessing alcohol in a CMV.

    6Possible violations underthis BASIC: 33 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 30 (average severity = 3.0) BASIC #1 – Unsafe Driving (STAND ALONE) Unsafe Driving Safety Violations Severity Rating Reckless driving 10 Failing to obey a traffic control device. 5 Following to close 5 Improper lane changes, turns or passing. 5 Speeding 5 Failing to yield right of way. 5 Failing to stop at a railroad crossing when required. 5 Failing to use caution for a hazardous condition. 5 Using or equipping a CMV with a radar detector. 5 Failing to use a seat belt. 1 Failing to use hazard warning flashers. 1 Unauthorized passengers 1 EXAMPLES OF UNSAFE DRIVING VIOLATIONS The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. When determining your monthly grade on unsafe driving, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — for your RoadLink’s grade, it’s 24 months. • The types of violations committed — (see table to the right). • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. HOW WILL UNSAFE DRIVING AFFECT ME? If your personal record includes violations for unsafe driving (even if you weren’t placed out of service), your safety ranking — and that of your company — will be affected. This could result with the FMCSA invoking the “INTERVENTION PROCESS”. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene. This is a stand-alone BASIC — a failing grade in this BASIC alone could have serious consequences! HOW IS UNSAFE DRIVING MEASURED? Using violations of certain federal safety rules and state traffic laws recorded during roadside inspections and traffic enforcement during the past 3 years. WHAT IS UNSAFE DRIVING? Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in a dangerous or careless manner.

    7 BASIC #2 –Fatigued Driving (STAND ALONE) Possible violations under this BASIC: 63 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 60 (average severity = 4) Fatigued Driving Safety Violations Severity Rating Operating a CMV while ill or fatigued 10 Violating an out-of-service order related to HOS. 10 Violating any federal or state HOS limits. 7 Submitting a false log. 7 Failing to complete a log, or logging improperly. 5 Failing to keep a log current. 5 Failing to record days spent off duty. 5 Failing to submit logs within 13 days. 5 Failing to retain previous 7 days’ logs. 5 Violating a log “form & manner” rule. 2 Violating an on-board recorder requirement. 1 Your grade on this BASIC will be updated every 30 days. The FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table to the right). • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. HOW WILL FATIGUED DRIVING AFFECT ME? A history of fatigued driving violations (even if you weren’t placed out of service, and even if you switched companies) will affect your safety grade, and that of your company. This could lead to contact from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, ranging from a warning letter to an extensive audit. You could be fined. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene. HOW IS FATIGUED DRIVING MEASURED? Using violations of Parts 392 and 395 recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. WHAT IS FATIGUED DRIVING? Driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) while ill, fatigued, or in violation of the hours-of-service rules. FATIGUED DRIVING VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases the severity by 2 points.

    8 BASIC #3 –Driver Fitness Possible violations under this BASIC: 52 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 47 (average severity = 3.7) Driver Fitness Safety Violations Severity Rating Operating a CMV with more than 1 driver’s license. 10 Failing to comply with an out-of-service order. 10 Failing to notify licensing agency of traffic conviction 6 Failing to notify carrier of conviction within 30 days. 6 Driving a CMV while disqualified. 6 Driving a CMV w/o transferring CDL to state of res. 6 Driving a CMV without being qualified. 6 Driving a CMV under age 21. 6 Failing the English language standard. 6 Driving a CMV w/o proper training or experience. 6 Failing to complete a road test or equivalent. 6 Your safety rating is updated every 30 days. When measuring your performance on this BASIC, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table to the right). • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. HOW WILL DRIVER FITNESS AFFECT ME? Driving a CMV without being properly qualified and licensed will hurt your safety grade and that of your company. This could lead to intervention by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, ranging from a warning letter to being ordered to shut down. You personally could also be fined. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene. HOW IS DRIVER FITNESS MEASURED? Using violations of federal safety rules recorded during roadside inspections in the past 3 years. Ensuring driver fitness is among the “essential” safety management controls that a company must have in place. WHAT IS A DRIVER FITNESS VIOLATION? Driving CMV while being unfit to drive due to lack of training, experience, and/or medical qualifications. DRIVER FITNESS VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases severity by 2 points.
  • 9.
    9 BASIC #4 –Crash History WHAT IS CRASH HISTORY? A history or pattern of crash involvement, including frequency and severity. Unlike the other BASICs, crash history is not based on a set of behaviors. Rather, it is a consequence of behavior and may indicate a problem that needs attention. HOW WILL MY CRASH HISTORY AFFECT ME? If you’re driving a CMV and are involved in a reportable crash — whether you were at fault or not — information about that crash will be sent to the FMCSA and will be attributed to both you and your company. Your crash record will follow you from company to company. The more crashes you and your company experience, the worse your grades on the crash BASIC and the more likely it is the FMCSA will intervene to find out what you might be doing wrong. If there’s a fatal accident, the FMCSA will likely show up for a full-blown audit. HOW IS CRASH HISTORY MEASURED? Using crash data reported by state and local enforcement agencies over the past 3 years. When determining your monthly grade in the Crash History BASIC relative to your peers, the FMCSA will consider: • Reportable crashes from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • Crash severity — crashes involving injury, a fatality, or a release of hazardous materials will cause more harm to your grade. • The age of the crashes — more recent crashes bear more weight.

    Possible violations underthis BASIC: 273 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 200 (average severity = 3.5)1010 BASIC #5 – Vehicle Maintenance Vehicle Maintenance Safety Violations Severity Rating Violating a vehicle out-of-service order. 10 Violating the tire tread standards. 8 Suspension-related violations 7 Violating the lighting standards 6 Steering-related violations 6 No pre-trip inspection 4 Brake-related violations 4 Failing to be knowledgeable of Part 396 rules. 4 Failing to complete a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report. 4 Reflective sheeting/reflector violations 3 Underinflated tire or excessive load on tire. 3 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases the severity by 2 points. Your performance in this BASIC is updated every month. When grading you, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table at the right). • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. • The age of the violations — more recent violations bear more weight. HOW WILL IMPROPER VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AFFECT ME? Vehicle maintenance is a shared responsibility between you and your company. Violations for failing to inspect and maintain a CMV will harm your safety rating and RoadLink’s. As a result, you and/or RoadLink could be warned, audited, fined, and/or ordered to fix the problems. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will intervene, even if you switch companies. HOW IS VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MEASURED? Using violations of federal safety rules recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. Failure to inspect and maintain vehicles properly is a “fundamental” violation that can put a carrier out of business. WHAT’S CONSIDERED A VEHICLE MAINTENANCE VIOLATION? Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that has critical safety defects due to improper or inadequate maintenance.

    Possible violations underthis BASIC: 506 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 249 (average severity = 5.4) 11 BASIC #6 – Improper Loading/Cargo Securement Improper Loading/Cargo Securement Safety Violations Severity Rating Inadequate securement of hazardous materials. 10 Failing to secure load properly. 10 Failing to inspect cargo while enroute. 10 Failing to use flag on projecting load. 10 Using damaged securement systems (tie downs). 10 Using to few or no tie downs. 10 Parking brake not set while loading/unloading HAZMAT. 7 Size or weight violations 7 Driving with obstructions to view or movement. 7 Pushing or towing a loaded bus. 7 Improper warning flag placement. 7 LOADING & SECUREMENT VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY - The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Being placed out of service increases the severity by 2 points. When determining your monthly grade on Cargo Loading & Securement, the FMCSA will consider: • Violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade. • The types of violations committed — some are worse than others (see table at the right). • The age of the violations — recent violations bear more weight. • The number of inspections — the more “clean” inspections the better. HOW WILL IMPROPER LOADING & SECUREMENT AFFECT ME? Aside from facing cargo claims, drivers who fail to properly load and/or secure their cargo can affect their — and their company’s — safety rating, which could get the attention of the FMCSA. This could lead to more roadside inspections, a warning letter, an audit, or even an out-of-service order. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the higher the likelihood the FMCSA will intervene, even if you switch companies. HOW IS THE LOADING & SECUREMENT BASIC MEASURED? Using violations of certain federal safety rules recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. WHAT’S CONSIDERED A LOADING & SECUREMENT VIOLATION? A CMV incident resulting from shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, or the unsafe handling of hazardous materials.

    Possible violations underthis BASIC: 3 • Number that could affect driver’s grade: 3 (average severity = 8.3)12 BASIC #7 – Controlled Substance or Alcohol Controlled Substance/Alcohol Safety Violations Severity Rating Violating an out-of service order related to drug or alcohol use. 10 Using or possessing controlled substances. 10 Possessing, using or being under the influence of alcohol 4 hours prior to duty. 5 DRUG AND ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS BY SEVERITY The higher the severity, the more crash risk and the more your grade on this BASIC will be affected. Your safety rating is updated every 30 days. When grading you on this BASIC, the FMCSA will consider: • Drug/alcohol violations from the past 36 months — or 24 months for RoadLink’s grade • The types of violations committed — some bear more weight than others (see table at the right). • The age of the violations — the more recent the violation, the worse it is. HOW WILL DRUG & ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS AFFECT ME? If your record includes violations of the drug or alcohol rules, your safety ranking (and that of your company) will be damaged. The result could be intervention by the FMCSA, including more roadside inspections, a warning letter, an audit, or even an out-of-service order. You personally could be fined. The more violations, the higher the BASIC score and the more likely the FMCSA will take action. HOW IS THE DRUG & ALCOHOL BASIC MEASURED? Using violations of federal safety rules 392.4 and 392.5, as recorded during roadside inspections during the past 3 years. Prevention of drug and alcohol violations is among the “essential” safety management controls that a company must have in place, and drug and alcohol violations are among the “fundamental” violations that can result in an automatic failing grade. WHAT’S COVERED IN THE DRUG & ALCOHOL BASIC? Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) while in possession of alcohol or illegal drugs, or impaired due to alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications.

    13 CSA 2010 Interventions/CorrectiveActions Intervention #1 “The Warning Letter” Warning letters are sent to carriers when they perform poorly in one or more BASICs. The letter describes the apparent safety problems and the potential consequences of continued violations. Intervention #2 “The Targeted Roadside Inspection” Once a warning letter is issued, targeted roadside inspections are used to verify that the warning letter was taken seriously. The roadside inspector will focus on the safety problems raised in the warning letter. Intervention #3 “The Investigation” These include an off-site investigation of your compliance paperwork (at an FMCSA office), a focused on-site investigation that concentrates on an identified safety problem, or a comprehensive on- site investigation, used when a carrier exhibits broad and complex safety problems and is failing on multiple BASICs. Intervention #4 “The Cooperative Safety Plan” A cooperative safety plan is a compliance improvement plan developed and implemented voluntarily by a motor carrier in cooperation with the FMCSA. It’s usually triggered after investigation reveals safety problems that the carrier expresses a willingness to fix. Intervention #5 “The Notice” A Notice of Violation is used to put a carrier on notice of specific regulatory violations. The carrier would then have to provide evidence the problems were fixed or successfully challenge the violations. A Notice of Claim includes a fine and is used to deter severe or persistent unsafe behavior. Intervention #6 “The Settlement Agreement” The settlement agreement is used to contractually bind the carrier to take actions to improve safety while avoiding fines or suspension. It allows the carrier to avoid significant penalties by committing to major safety improvements. Failure to comply with the agreement can result in the maximum fine. Intervention #7 “The Unfit Suspension” With an unfit suspension, a motor carrier is basically placed out of business, ordered to stop operating commercial motor vehicles due to a willful disregard for safety. This is the most severe form of intervention available.

    16 Frequently Asked Questions •Will I still receive a violation if I’m not cited? Yes. All unsafe driving violations reported at the roadside will be factored into your grade on this BASIC, even if a citation or ticket is not issued! • Is maintaining my logs “real-time” really that important? Violations of the hours-of-service rules were cited almost 740,000 times in 2008, or almost one-third of all traffic enforcement violations recorded that year. • How much time do I have to notify the state if I receive a conviction? If you have a CDL and are convicted of violating a state or local traffic control law (other than parking) in a state other than the one that issued your license, you are required to notify the licensing state within 30 days. • Is it ok to go ahead and drive to my home domicile if given an out-of-service order? Absolutely not! Operating a vehicle that has been placed out of service (i.e., “jumping” an OOS order) could cost you up to $2,100 in fines, and RoadLink up to $16,000. • What exactly is a DOT reportable crash? • A DOT reportable crash involves a vehicle being towed from the scene, an injury, or a fatality. It must be reported immediately to your dispatcher or Regional Safety Manager. • Why is Controlled Substance/Alcohol listed as a CSA 2010 BASIC? Two (2) DUI or DWI convictions in any type of vehicle can result in lifetime disqualification. The key here is does not have to be a CMV. • Does my performance affect RoadLink’s safety rating? • Yes! Your performance in the BASICs has an immediate effect on RoadLink’s safety rating, and your own!

    17 Frequently Asked Questions •Howcan I avoid intervention and improve my safety record? Learn all you can about CSA 2010. Take a look at your safety record and see how you’re doing on the BASICs. Is there room for improvement? Strive for “clean” inspections. Work with your RoadLink representative to make sure your safety record is accurate, so bad data doesn’t come around to bite you. Participate in company safety programs like refresher training and safety meetings. Always drive safely and in compliance! • What are the BASICs? The Behavioral Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories, or BASICs, are seven categories of safety-related violations on which you and RoadLink will be graded under CSA 2010. They are: unsafe driving, fatigued driving, driver fitness, drugs/alcohol, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading/securement, and crash history. • How far back does the FMCSA look at my safety record? Under CSA 2010, violation and crash data collected in the prior 36 months will affect your safety grade. The safer you drive today, the better your record will be tomorrow! • How will the FMCSA intervene? The FMCSA will have a variety of new tools in its arsenal for making sure you’re operating safely and in compliance, before a crash occurs: • Warning letters • Roadside inspections • Off-site or on-site audits • Cooperative safety plans • Notices of violation or claim • Settlement agreements • Out-of-service orders • Why don’t all violations count the same? When a carrier or driver’s performance in each BASIC is “graded,” some violations will count more than others depending on: • The amount of risk involved — reckless driving counts more than a failure to use your emergency flashers. • How old is the violation — newer violations bear more weight, but violations can still haunt you for 3 years, or RoadLink for 2 years. • How many inspections you’ve had — a single bad inspection won’t ruin your record. • Are out-of-service violations the only violations that count toward my safety record? No! Under CSA 2010 both out-of-service and non-out-of-service violations count against your record.
