Will all motor carriers with safety deficiencies get a warning letter before they hear anything else from FMCSA? Is CSA 2010 introducing a truly progressive intervention process?
Motor carriers will enter the interventions process based on the nature and severity of their safety deficiencies. If a carrier’s safety deficiencies are serious, it may enter the process through receiving an offsite, onsite focused or onsite comprehensive investigation. If a carrier’s safety deficiencies are just emerging, FMCSA will issue a warning letter. If a carrier’s safety performance does not improve or diminishes after receipt of a warning letter, the carrier will enter the progressive process and receive an investigation. If performance improves, the carrier will no longer be identified for intervention.
