The document summarizes the key points of the Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) program implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. CSA 2010 changes how commercial driver and carrier safety performance is measured and enforced by focusing on seven behavioral categories. It will score drivers and carriers based on recent inspections, violations and crashes. This is expected to impact over 200,000 drivers who may become unemployable due to stricter hiring standards and carrier safety policies under CSA 2010.

1. CSA 2010: The Driver Impact

17. The SMS formulas. CSMS Formulas DSMS Formulas Unsafe Driving, Controlled Substance and Alcohol BASIC Measure = Time Weight x Severity Weight/Average Measure of Carrier PUs Time Weight – 2 = 0-12 months 1 = 12-24 months Unsafe Driving, Controlled Substance and Alcohol BASIC Measure = Time Weight x Severity Weight Time Weight – 3=within previous 12 months, 2 = between 12 and 24 months, 1 = between 24 and 36 months Fatigued Driving, Driver Fitness, Vehicle Maintenance, and Cargo-Related BASIC Measure = Time Weight x Severity Weight/Number of Time-weighted relevant inspections Fatigued Driving, Driver Fitness, Vehicle Maintenance, and Cargo-Related BASIC Measure = Time Weight x Severity Weight/Number of Violations (within previous 36 months) For each Out-of-Service (OOS) violation, 2 points are added to the Severity weighting. Crash Indicator BASIC Measure = Time Weight x Severity Weight/ Average Measure of Carrier PUs Severity Weight – 1= Tow-away only 2 = Injury or fatality +1 = Hazmat release (added to the weights above) Crash Indicator BASIC Measure = Time Weight x Severity Weight Severity Weight – 1= Tow-away only 2 = Injury or fatality +1 = Hazmat release (added to the weights above)

18. Gateway violations. Speeding. 1 – 100 mph over the speed limit is enough probable cause to warrant a full inspection Failure to use a Seatbelt . A fastened belt worn improperly may still be considered “failure to use” and land you in a full inspection. Lamps / lights / turn signals. Vary in their severity ratings, but when any of these lights fail they scream “inspect me” to an officer. Tires. Tires are serious business – high severity weighting and a high likelihood of earning you a full inspection.

19. Red flag violations. BASIC Severity Violation Fatigued Driving (HOS) 10 Violating Part 395 Out-of-Service (OOS) Order Controlled Substances/Alcohol 10 Possessing, using or being under the influence of a controlled substance Controlled Substances/Alcohol 5 Possessing, being under the influence of, or using alcohol within 4 hours of going on duty Driver Fitness 10 Allowing driver to operate with more than one Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Driver Fitness 10 Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) with more than one CDL Driver Fitness 3-6 Operating without a valid CDL Driver Fitness 6 Driving while disqualified (383.51a, 391.15a) Driver Fitness 3-6 Driving without a valid operator’s license Driver Fitness 1-2 False entry on medical examiner’s certificate Vehicle Maintenance 10 Operating an OOS vehicle before making repairs
