Vehicle Shippers Looking Foward to CSA 2010

Transport drivers and car transport companies preparing for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 to begin replacing the Safestat module will have to wait a little longer. The latest reports indicate that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has decided it needs to do a little more tinkering with CSA 2010, before they begin replacing the Safestat module. The most recent developments include the FMCSA deciding to keep two components of BASIC scores from public eyes, until they feel releasing this information is going to be of interest to Americans. The two components that are going to be private until further notice are the Cargo-Related BASIC and the Crash Indicator, according to sources at the FMCSA.

Sources around the transport industry of the United States indicate that some car transport professionals might have thought that some of the language that was attached to some of the ratings needed to be changed, that some of the terms used might be misinterpreted by some and possibly used against them in litigation. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration apparently agrees, since they have decided to make changes in the system, which is probably going to make quite a few transport drivers out on the roads and highways of the United States conducting express auto transport happier. The American Trucking Association definitely agrees and has indicated they were happy the FMCSA is continuing to work to make CSA 2010 successful by making these changes to these two components at this time.
