Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 Guest Speaker: Rick Gladman CRM CDS CSA2010 (Comprehensive Safety Analysis) is a national safety initiative from the US DOT and will have an impact on every shipper, carrier and driver entering the U.S. in a commercial vehicle. It will effectively identify and quickly intervene with carriers and drivers who are not complying with safety rules in order to make roads safer for everyone. Every month the system will measure the previous two years of roadside violation and collision data and calculate a score in seven safety behaviour areas, up from the previous three. The process will replace the current SAFER records with a much more expansive examination of driver and carrier safety violation profiles 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. – Meet & Greet The cost for the dinner is $30.00 per person.
