CSA 2010: What Carriers Need to Know (Feb. 24)

A major new safety initiative known as Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 or CSA 2010 has many Alberta carriers whose trucks enter the US anxious to learn more.

To help Alberta carriers find out what they need to know, AMTA is hosting a special half-day presentation featuring Bruce Holmes, Division Administrator for the Montana Division of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) at the AMTA office in Calgary from 8 am – 12:00 Noon on February 24, 2010. A lunch will be served following the seminar. This important information session is co-presented by BFL Insurance Services and Zurich North America Canada.

CSA 2010 is the carrier-rating safety system based entirely on how drivers and vehicles perform at roadside safety checks. CSA will affect every carrier who goes into the US. It is important that carriers find out about CSA because the US government is collecting data on carriers now. The CSA program will determine how often carriers will be subjected to roadside inspections, letters of warning, facility audits or fines.
