SOURCE: RigDig Business Intelligence data representing the carrier population with some form of for-hire authority and at least one inspection over the two years following the advent of the CSA program in December 2010. CSA scoring data represents FMCSA's December 2012 SMS snapshot. You don't have to look far to find examples of carriers with fewer than 15 trucks that make their CSA scoring debut at the highest level possible – 99.9 – after a single inspection with a violation or two meets data-sufficiency requirements in a BASIC. This makes for no shortage of difficulty in score management. "If the system is displaying 'less than 5 inspections with a violation' or 'less than 3 inspections with a violation' " in any BASIC, FMCSA representatives say, "it 60 commercial carrier journal CCJ_0313_BusinessFeature.indd 60 doesn't mean that they might not be on the 'cusp' of generating sufficient negative information for us to assign a high percentile score and intervene." Drill down into the data – just one click from your main carrier SMS results page – to "see how many inspections with violations that they do have and what those violations are," FMCSA says. Then, "take efforts to avoid similar violations." Five-truck intermodal fleet owner | march 2013 2/20/13 11:08 AM
