How CSA scores are calculated | Introduction

This is the first in our series of videos where we'll discuss the FMCSA's Safety Measurement System and how the agency issues carriers' CSA scores. In this introduction, we address the purpose of SMS and how it fits into the FMCSA's enforcement program. We then take a high-level look at the scoring methodology. Stay tuned for additional videos in this series where we'll address each BASIC in turn.

Very good content in explaining a fairly complex system. Score this as an A+ on quality of content..

Great video man. Love the way you explain this complicated DOT stuff.

[VerifiedSilence]

So just got 3 warnings
1 brake light out
1 turn signal out
1 lane restriction violation
I'm figuring that adds up to 45 csa points and exactly how bad is that? Cause it doesn't sound great. Just wondering if I'm going to be looking for a different career on Monday when my company sees it... 6 years with multiple clean inspections and 0 accidents.

Great video I completely understand now I’m at 25 percent so I’m doing 25 percent worst then my competition in which it’s my owner op that got my score this high how do I let fmcsa know that they can no longer run under my authority

[donquijote]

I am a company driver. How can I know my CSA score and if there is anyway to clean that record?. Great channel!

Brandon, You have a nice voice you should try work for animation movie companies Such as Pixar as a voiceover character.

[hectorfernandez]

Hey I got a violation 393.55 abs light on. I’m a company driver does that go on my record also? If so would you recommend I go to court and tell them I had it fixed to possibly have it removed from my record?

[podcast]

How many point is 396.17c not having a new inspection sticker and expired inspection papers for my trailer. How bad is it ?

[ericdiaz]

[FelixxDaily]

I lease a budget truck for the first time for my business and got a out of service for the first time due to brake lights not working and abs light on the dash. Is not my truck and it happen while driving. What will be my percentage for first time fail Inspection??

[Marogang]

Can you explain the time weight for dummies I have absolutely no clue I have violations that say 3 I mean is it dropping to 2 after 6mo then 0 after 24?

[ashgabatllc]

DOT gave our driver 3 OOS 2 395.8(e)(1) and one 395.8(a) how does this weigh ? All three were out of service.

[jaybartgis]

What is the difference between the DOT and the FMCSA?

[Alexander-inhv]

So do you only get a violation if you get pulled over and they see it? I violated my 30 minute because my tablet said I was good to go and then gave me a violation as soon as I moved.

[johnnavarro]

Company score are 15 and the national average is 21 that good 15 porcen that mean comoany is good ??

[mohammedsalah]

I got a violation 3 days ago 393.9 and 393.45 this is a first DOT inspection I never had before and my CSA score is 30 ..
So this score is a big problem or not ?
how can I take it out of my records if I wanna work with another company and they see my score ?

[fivestar]
