We've always advocated that informed shippers make better decisions. We recently held a webinar along with the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) and NASSTRAC to inform shippers about what's happening with CSA score changes and the Driver Coercion Rulemaking and the response was off the charts. You need to listen to this webinar now. If you'd like a copy of the slides or a one page summary of the new rule, you can find them here.
To see where you stand on Driver Coercion, ask yourself three questions:
- First, how well do you understand what's going on at your docks?
- Second, do you have any written documentation which outlines your expectations for how your personnel will interact with the carriers?
- And third, do you have any training that helps your employees understand how to carry out these practices and processes?
Folks, the Driver Coercion Rulemaking is no joke. If a driver pulls away from your dock feeling coerced then files a claim that the FMCSA agrees with, your company could get a $16,000 fine. The webinar also provides insight on what's happening in a post CSA environment, recent rulemakings affecting electronic logging devices, and the safety fitness determination rulemaking.
We’ve also recently came out with a new Case Study about Morton Salt’s Truckload savings, a White Paper about helping you anticipate Predictable Surprises, and have several other resources to help you manage your transportation spend.
