The Impact of CSA Scores & Your Trucking Business
The Importance of Commercial Driver Legal Plans for Your Trucking Business
Dear Trucking Company Owner/Fleet Manager,
I hope this letter finds you well. I'm writing to discuss a critical aspect of our industry that directly impacts your bottom line and the success of your drivers: the importance of Commercial Driver Legal Plans (CDLPs) as a Benefit Option. / Tax Write Off
The Impact of CSA Scores
As you know, a carrier's CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores reflect its compliance with Federal Safety Regulations. Maintaining low CSA scores comes with numerous benefits:
• Fewer DOT audits and roadside inspections
• Better opportunities to bypass weigh stations
• Lower Insurance Rates
• An enhanced reputation in the industry
One essential aspect of maintaining good CSA scores lies in hiring and retaining drivers with strong safety records. However, even the best drivers can face traffic violations that negatively impact your company's CSA score and insurance premiums.
The Risk of CDL Traffic Violations
Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard than other motorists. Serious CDL violations that can severely impact your CSA score include:
• Speeding 15 MPH or over
• Reckless driving
• Improper lane changes
• Following too closely
• Any accident involving a fatality
• Railroad crossing violations
• Not having a CDL in possession
• Texting or using a handheld mobile phone while operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)
** It's crucial to note that all personal vehicle convictions now count against a driver's CDL record as well.
The Need for Legal Protection
Given these high stakes, professional truck drivers need legal protection more than other citizens. A couple of traffic tickets can jeopardize a driver's ability to make a living. With enforcement agencies targeting truck drivers and holding them to different standards, the services of an experienced transportation attorney are essential for both career drivers and companies.
