To boost your overall CSA score, it was once recommended to ask for a "voluntary" roadside inspection. That may not be an option anymore. It seems some carriers used the same truck over and over, while the bulk of their fleet stayed as far away from the inspection houses as possible . . . #CSA #CSAScore #roadsideinspection https://lnkd.in/gSB_QnvR

This was a great share I saw on Twitter yesterday in regards to the CVSA inspection (do NOT confuse with an annual DOT inspection) that many brokers require carriers to have in order to move their freight. If you are a broker (or carrier), take a minute and watch this video of a carrier asking for an inspection at a weigh station. The inspection process was not designed for supporting verification but was designed to keep a pulse on the safe operation of equipment and drivers on our highways. So many people who have not had road experience, thought it is simple as pulling into a weigh station and asking. In my years behind the wheel, I can count on one hand how many inspections I got pulled in for. It doesn’t work that way and is also in the CVSA book that officers cannot do voluntary inspections. It is truly a luck of the draw if you get pulled for one. Video credit: IG Boxtruckbros
