Features of the Pending Comprehensive Safety Analysis
There is no question that the unsafe operation of commercial trucks and buses poses a direct threat to the welfare of all motorists and pedestrians. In order to help combat this danger, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is constantly attempting to identify ways to improve the effectiveness of the regulations it imposes on the industry. One significant effort is the attempt to formulate and administer a new methodology for identifying companies and drivers whose actions create an unnecessary hazard. The Comprehensive Safety Analysis had been scheduled initially for 2010, though it has now been temporarily delayed.
Being prepared for this evaluation will likely help your trucking company considerably. Having the resources on hand to address areas of concern is essential. Fortunately, we can help you to overcome the difficulties presented by unpaid freight bills.

Seven Measures of the Analysis
The system that is currently employed to assess the danger posed by a particular vehicle or operator utilizes four fairly broad and subjective measures of safety. The proposed changes would include a new set of seven more clearly defined criteria that will be investigated in each case. Though there may be some changes prior to the implementation of the new system, the following criteria are expected to be included, according to testimony given by Anne Ferro on behalf of the FMCSA:
- Unsafe Driving
- Fatigued Driving (connected with hours-of-service)
- Driver Fitness
- Controlled Substances/Alcohol
- Vehicle Maintenance
- Cargo-Related
- Crash Indicator
