CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) is a program introduced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to reduce motor vehicle accidents. It has and continues to have significant impacts on those in our industry who employ commercial vehicle drivers. Driver qualification and fitness is an extensive component with the agency’s seven program BASICs. This workshop will address employer and driver responsibilities from pre-employment check, driver qualification files, new medical requirements, diet, and fatigue prevention to checking the FMCSA database and drivers' motor vehicle records.
