CSA GOAL: “Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)
is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety
and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities
that are related to commercial motor vehicles.”

TIMING: The FMCSA has stated that SMS 3.0 changes
will go live “December 2012.” Vigillo believes this is likely
to occur simultaneously with the SMS monthly update,
scheduled to happen the week of December 3rd.

Remember: “If you can’t see my mirrors, I can’t see you.”

WHAT IS THE CHANGE?
All cargo violations (except for HazMat-related) are now in the
Vehicle Maintenance BASIC.

WHY MAKE THIS CHANGE?
Carriers hauling predominantly open
trailers (e.g., flatbeds) were subject to
bias in the old Cargo-Related BASIC.


BOTTOM-LINE:
 Unfair bias against flatbeds/open-deck
carriers in the Cargo BASIC is eliminated

 Impact of Cargo violations severely diluted: Cargo violations are
now only 4% of all vehicle maintenance violations – additionally,
most cargo violations now have a lowered severity weight
4%

 Conflicts with CSA’s stated mission?


Analysis of Vigillo customer data:
Top Cargo Violation does not appear in Maintenance until #41


Cargo Violations Re-Weighted as
they enter the new Maintenance BASIC

CSA 3.0 CSA 2.2 CSA 3.0 Severity Severity %
Violation Group Severity Weight Severity Weight Change Decrease

Failure to Prevent Movement 8 3 -5 -63%
General Securement 7 1 -6 -86%

Improper Load Securement 10 7 -3 -30%

Securement Device 7 1 -6 -86%
Tie-down 8 3 -5 -63%
Towing Loaded Bus 10 10 0 0%

Warning Flags 4 1 -3 -75%


WHAT IS THE CHANGE?
• Old Cargo BASIC is renamed HAZMAT, scores private for 1 year
• Includes 238 old Cargo violations + 111 new HazMat violations
• Intervention threshold is 80 for all carriers for this BASIC

WHY MAKE THIS CHANGE?
• HazMat can increase severity of crashes
• Better identify and address safety
compliance problems related to HazMat
• Increase the ability of first responders
to mitigate consequences of HazMat spill


BOTTOM-LINE:
 HazMat BASIC contains even thinner data than the Cargo BASIC did

 HazMat BASIC is almost exclusively focused on placards and compliance -
not direct safety issues


BOTTOM-LINE: Appears to
introduce a bias against large carriers
who do not specialize in HazMat (LTL and
others). Data Sufficiency gives odd results
– Alert Status for large carriers on very
few violations

(a.k.a. “subject to placardable HM threshold”*)

*Determines Intervention Threshold for all BASICs except HazMat BASIC


Is it possible for a non-HazMat Carrier
to get an alert in the HazMat BASIC?

xxxx

Yes. A motor carrier may not be subject to the placardable HazMat
threshold but still may have a score in the HazMat BASIC and, in fact,
have an alert. Strange – but true.

WHAT CHANGED?
Violations have been added,
removed, and re-weighted.
SMS 3.0 lists 826 violations.

WHY MAKE THESE CHANGES?
With every SMS update, the FMCSA adds and removes some of the violations
listed, and also adjusts severity weights – FMCSA is listening to industry

BOTTOM-LINE:
 DON’T be surprised if there are no significant changes to CSA scores
 DO expect two rounds of violation changes in 2013


HIGHLIGHTS
DRIVER FITNESS BASIC
Driving CMV while CDL is suspended/disqualified:
• Safety vs. Non-Safety

UNSAFE DRIVING BASIC
Speeding Violation Changes (retroactive):
• 1-5 MPH over limit are removed
• No MPH over limit listed = 1 point

FATIGUED DRIVING / HOS COMPLIANCE BASIC
Equal weight to paper and electronic logbook violations for
consistency (retroactive)


Change the name of Fatigued
Driving (Hours-of-Service (HOS))
BASIC to “HOS Compliance BASIC”

Better align SMS with Intermodal
Equipment Provider (IEP) regulations

More accurately identify carriers
involved in transporting passengers


Change SMS Display: Separate crashes with injuries
from crashes with fatalities
Change terms like inconclusive
& insufficient data to fact-
based descriptions

Eliminate vehicle violations Eliminate driver violations
&
from driver-only inspections from vehicle-only inspections
