The American Transportation Research Institute has released a new white paper showing a majority of the nation’s truck drivers do not have an understanding of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Compliance Safety and Accountability program. CSA was rolled out nationally just over three years ago after it was a pilot program in several states.
On average, drivers responded to the CSA knowledge test with 42.4% accuracy, suggesting that after three years of implementation drivers do not have a clear understanding of CSA, according to ATRI. However, it says, on a more positive note, carrier-provided CSA training has increased steadily since 2011, while driver job security concerns due to CSA have decreased by almost 10% over the three-year period.
It is so important for drivers to understand this. All trucking companies should have a training program that would help them understand this, because it has a direct effect on the companies safety rating.
Drivers need to be made aware it effects their ability to find a job.
