CSA (Compliance, Safety and Accountability) was developed by the FMCSA as a replacement to the Safe Stat system. It is intended to reduce accidents caused by commercial trucks using a method of roadside inspections and progressive intervention. Using data from these inspections, carriers are measured against their peers and assigned a percentile ranking, or SMS (Safety Measurement System) score, in each of 7 BASIC safety categories.
ASECTT is a group of shippers, carriers, brokers, and other interested parties that has been formed to alert the shipping community of the impact of CSA on capacity, competition and liability. Please join ASECTT in our mission. Stay tuned for the latest news in "Media Coverage" below.
