How does violation history impact a carriers CSA 2010 scores?

SMS scores under CSA 2010 are affected by violations by drivers who are actively working for a company.  The scores of trucking companies will not be affected by the violations of drivers before they worked for them or after a driver is no longer working for them.

Any violations that occurred while the driver was working for the company will continue to affect the company for 24 months.  However, any new violations that driver incurs after employment will not affect the company.

It is essential under CSA 2010 that trucking companies understand their driver’s ratings and how it directly impacts their CSA 2010 ratings and interventions.
