Improve Your CSA Score
Challenge Violations with Sentry Road
Why CSA Scores Matter for Trucking Companies
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) uses CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores to evaluate the safety performance of trucking companies and individual drivers. These scores are used to identify high-risk carriers and target them for further inspections, audits, or enforcement actions. Your CSA score can impact:
- Reputation: A low CSA score may reduce your credibility with shippers, brokers, and customers, potentially leading to lost business opportunities.
- Insurance Rates: Higher CSA scores often result in increased insurance premiums, as insurers view high-risk carriers as more likely to be involved in accidents.
- Regulatory Scrutiny: A poor CSA score may lead to additional inspections, compliance reviews, and fines, further impacting your business operations.
A successful challenge of an inaccurate or unfair violation recorded against your company can significantly improve your CSA score and help you maintain a better safety and compliance record.
