FMCSA has officially started sending out warning letters to motor carriers across the United States.
Here is what you need to know:
CSA is here, and it is happening right now.
1) If you receive a letter, don’t panic. It’s a warning to let you know about an area that needs improvement. Just take the steps needed to improve the BASIC area noted.
2) Not all letters for each state are being sent at once. If you haven’t received a letter, that doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t receive one in the future.
3) Carriers receiving warning letters will be subjected to an increase in roadside inspections.
4) If you receive a letter, and your performance doesn’t improve, the next step can be an off-site or on-site investigation.
Don’t wait for a warning letter from the FMCSA to take action.
