3 CSA (Compliance Safety Accountability) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) Applicability Commercial Carrier & Driver s Responsibilities Enforcement of FMCSR s

4 Understanding of responsibilities Conversant with FMCSRs Dispel myths (truck stop lawyers) Learn how to find the answers Comply with Regulations Increase safety and safe practices Be prepared for changes in FMCSA

5 Down time for truck and driver Fine$, company/driver, Civil/Criminal Company & Driver* Safety Rating Interventions* Insurance Increases More Inspections (ISS) Loss of Contracts Liability

6 Protection of people and property Reduce Liability (Crashes) Protect job and company Reduce fines Professionalism Required 390.3(e)(2)

7 A new safety monitoring program with intense focus on carriers ability to follow the rules and avoid crashes Designed to gather data about carriers and drivers Nationwide network Improves effectiveness of compliance & enforcement programs Method of calculating compliance with the safety regulations

8 The goal of CSA is to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities on the nation s highways.

9 Considers carriers & drivers Carriers & drivers are now tracked by the FMCSA Helps create a more complete picture of compliance Every recorded violation, citation, and warning -even the most trivial or inaccurate- will count in calculating safety scores

10 Data Collection Safety Measurement Safety Evaluation Intervention

11 Roadside Inspections Veh. Viols. 24 months Driver Viols. 36 months Federally recorded crashes Crashes 24 months Violations found during interventions

12 Unsafe Driving Fatigued Driving Driver Fitness Controlled Substances & Alcohol Vehicle Maintenance Cargo Related Crash Indicators

13 Assigned to one of the BASICs Severity weighting (1-10) Association with crash causation OOS Occurred during a crash Time weighed 3 = past 12 months; 2=between months; 1=24 to 36 months

14 No intervention Warning letter Increased roadside enforcement (ISS) Focused off-site investigation Focused on-site investigation Cooperative Safety plan Notice of violation Comprehensive on-site investigation Notice of claim Out of Service Order (temporary or permanent)

15 Have positive roadside inspection Avoid all violations, especially high value violations Reduce crashes Understand the regulations! Follow/Obey the regulations!

54 Cargo must be firmly immobilized or secured on or within a vehicle by structures of adequate strength, dunnage/dunnage bags, shoring bars, tiedowns or a combination of these. Items that are likely to roll must be restrained by chocks, wedges, a cradle or other equivalent means.

57 Articles of cargo placed beside each other and secured by transverse tiedowns must be: Placed in direct contact with each other, or Prevented from shifting towards each other while in transit.

58 Each tiedown must be attached and secured in a manner that : Prevents it from becoming loose, unfastened, opening or releasing while in transit. Edge protection must be used whenever a tiedown would be subject to abrasion or cutting or crushing

59 WLL = 1/2 x (weight of the cargo). Total WLL is the sum of: (1) 1/2 of the WLL of each connector or attachment mechanism used to secure the cargo to the vehicle; and (2) 1/2 of the WLL for each end section of a tiedown that is attached to an anchor point.

60 The rules in this section are in addition to Section concerning WLL. When an article of cargo is not blocked or positioned to prevent movement in the forward direction, the number of tiedowns needed depends on the length and weight of the articles.

61 1 tiedown for articles 5 ft or less in length, and 1,100 lbs or less in weight; 2 tiedowns if the article is - 1) 5 ft or less in length and more than 1,100 lbs in weight; or 2) > 5 ft but less than 10 ft, regardless of weight.

62 Example of 110(b)(1) 5 ft." 1,100 lbs."

63 2 tiedowns for articles longer than 10 ft, and one additional tiedown for every 10 ft of length, or fraction thereof, beyond the first 10 ft. If an article is blocked to prevent movement in the forward direction, 1 tiedown for every 10 ft, or fraction thereof.

64 Example of 110(b)(3) 10 ft 10 ft 10 ft 10 ft

65 Example of 110(b)(3) - Articles blocked to prevent forward movement; 1tiedown for each 10 ft of length, or fraction thereof. 10 ft 10 ft 10 ft 10 ft
