By now you already realize that CSA, (formerly CSA 2010) is online for the general public. Be sure to take a look at the 'public' site to see the information your customers, competitors, insurance agents, and brokers will see. We've spent time (way too much time) checking it out. You will need to be patient due to the high volume of on-lookers, which has created extremely slow site access.

It might be of interest to you, (or maybe not), that the acronym CSA no longer stands for Comprehensive Safety Analysis. You will now see, once you finally gain access to the site, the new title is; 'Compliance, Safety, Accountability.' You will also see that the term 'Deficient' no longer applies to any of your BASIC's, instead you will see 'Alert.' This term is the Feds attempt to soften the interpretation the public gleans from the site; and hopefully you won't have a broker or shipper denying you the load because you are 'deficient.' We'll see, no one really knows what the non-carrier public will read into the word 'alert.'

As of today, full state implementation of CSA may not happen before year end...we'll keep you posted as soon as we hear more.

Regardless of the terminology, it is of vital importance as a carrier to be mindful of your scores and to 'clean-up' any problem areas that the site 'alerts' you to. If you need help understanding how to do this, remember; "ONE CALL, we'll take care of you..."
