Trucksafe offers an insightful webinar series on how fleets can improve their CSA scores across all 7 measured BASIC categories. Featuring industry attorneys and enforcement experts with practical strategies you can implement immediately.
FMCSA's Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program uses the Safety Measurement System (SMS) to assess motor carrier safety performance across 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs).
Elevated CSA scores trigger increased enforcement activity, including warning letters, targeted investigations, and intervention. They also affect your insurance premiums, shipper relationships, and ability to win new business.
Don't Wait for an Intervention
Carriers with BASIC percentiles above the intervention threshold are prioritized for compliance reviews, which can lead to safety rating downgrades and costly penalties.
Each BASIC measures a different aspect of carrier safety. Understanding the most common violations in each category is the first step to improvement.
Speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, failure to use seatbelt, and other moving violations.
Crash history including state-reported crashes regardless of fault determination.
Hours of service violations including logbook falsification, driving beyond limits, and ELD violations.
Vehicle maintenance violations including brakes, tires, lights, and other mechanical defects.
Drug and alcohol violations including positive test results, refusals, and program violations.
Driver qualification violations including medical certificates, CDL requirements, and qualification files.
Hazardous materials violations including placarding, labeling, shipping papers, and training requirements.
Watch our in-depth webinar series covering how to improve your scores in each BASIC category, featuring industry experts and practical strategies.
