CSA points - How to get it?

Ahhh.... I think you can figure that out...

 

Omg $10 whole dollars?? I see more crying about that than I do the report

 

So, this thing I heard about companies, including mine that look for driver's CSA "points" in order to evaluate them and setting "limits" on how many "points" their drivers can have is incorrect. Hmmm.... I was under the impression, like many others that those points were an easy way to evaluate a driver's safety record used not only by hiring companies but also insurance companies. And for those $ 10.00 FMCSA charges, they should provide those points. IMO this new CSA system is inefficient, unrealistic and another way the feds invented to make money off of people.

 

You darn right! All he wanted was to know his points, wasted $ 10.00 and got nothing. I don't blame him. I would be PO too.

 

Okay now your going in another direction. Companies or carriers may take a drivers PSP report and add the CSA point value to the drivers roadside insp violations for the last three years. Even some third party vendors will add the "points" on a drivers report.
Some of these pin-head safety directors in these mega carriers are telling there drivers there "score" to to high or there now over the "score" limit when in fact the carrier sets the limit, not the FMCSA.
The one good thing IMO that has came out of the CSA program is now a carrier can not only check a new hire driving record but there roadside Insp report. After all if a driver has a long history of getting wrote up for log book violations a carrier can now see it where before the only thing they could check was there driving record for speeding tickets.
