Proposed CSA Changes Could Affect Your Operation
Posted on 11/13/2023 02:01 PM
One of the proposed changes to the CSA program includes a shift in focus from a score-based system to a prioritization approach. Instead of assigning specific scores to carriers in various safety categories, the new approach aims to prioritize interventions based on the carriers' safety performance.
This means that rather than relying solely on a numerical score, the FMCSA is exploring ways to better identify and target carriers with the highest safety risk. The prioritization approach considers various factors and data points to determine which carriers may pose the most significant safety concerns.

Aim To Host Webinar on Industry-Changing CARB Regulations
Posted on 10/09/2023 06:37 PM
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has long been at the forefront of environmental regulations in the United States. While their initiatives are aimed at reducing emissions and improving air quality, out-of-state truckers often find themselves grappling with the complexities and challenges posed by CARB regulations.
CARB's regulations primarily target emissions from heavy-duty trucks and aim to reduce pollutants that contribute to air pollution and climate change. These regulations include stringent requirements for truck engines, fuel efficiency standards and the implementation of cleaner technologies. While these measures align with broader environmental goals, out-of-state truckers face unique challenges in complying with CARB regulations.
