New CSA 2010 regs require freight securement to be checked and logged within the first 50 miles of the shipper and then every 150 miles/3 hours thereafter.
Is anyone else finding this to be as annoying, obnoxious and an unnecessary waste of time as I find it to be? It is a little less bothersome on a short hop of 300 miles or less, but especially annoying on long halls.
I have always taken great care to properly secure the freight. I always use multiple resources, just in case one form of securement fails; which, thankfully, in six plus years it has not. Many times I have had a shipper comment to me about the amount of freight securement I put into place as being excessive. However, I continue to do so since I am the one ultimately responsible the freight on my truck.
With this being the case, I have been doing the required stops and accompanying documentation. However, with each stop, I find everything to be nice and secure, each and every time, just as it was when I left the shipper. I will continue to follow this requirement as mandate by CSA 2010. However, I simply find it to be excessive and a waste of time.
