new safety inspection program designed to improve road safety by
increasing FMCSA efficiency in collecting and utilizing inspection data
to identify high-risk carriers and drivers. This white paper will
provide an overview of the key factors motor carriers need to know and
suggestions on how to achieve the ideal Carrier Safety Measurement
System (CSMS) ratings to avoid FMCSA interventions and fines.

Compliance, Safety, and Accountability: Be Accountable for Your Score
The DataQs system was made available in February
2004 as a way to challenge data maintained in the Motor Carrier
Management Information System, but since the launch of the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Compliance, Safety, and
Accountability program (formerly CSA 2010), the questions and answers
surrounding efficient and appropriate use of DataQs as part of a
carrier’s safety program has become a seemingly unsolvable maze.
This paper will address some of the most frequently asked questions we
receive regarding DataQs, including what can and cannot be challenged
through the system, state vs. federal review policies, and how court
rulings apply to the challenge process.
