Is there any seminars on CSA 2010 planned for the Expo? It would really be great if there was. Maybe someone in the government that works on this?

The best online resource I have found comes right for the big boys themselves:
CSA 2010 - Comprehensive Safety Analysis
Hope it gives you some info!
Here is one of the big questions that is answered on this site:
Will CSA 2010 assign safety ratings to individual commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers? I heard that CSA 2010 is designed to rate CMV drivers and to put many of them out of work this summer.
No. Under CSA 2010, individual CMV drivers will not be assigned safety ratings or safety fitness determinations. Consistent with the current safety rating regulations (49 CFR part 385), individual drivers will continue to be rated, as they are today, following an onsite investigation at their place of business when they operate independently as a "motor carrier" (i.e. have their own USDOT number, operating authority, and insurance). CSA 2010 will provide enhanced tools for Safety Investigators to identify and address drivers with poor safety records as part of motor carrier investigations in order to increase driver accountability for safe driving behavior. CSA 2010 is designed to meet one overriding objective: to increase safety on the Nation's roads. Therefore, it is, by design, a positive program for drivers and carriers with strong safety performance records Also, it will send a strong message that drivers and carriers with poor safety performance histories need to improve.

Thanks, I have looked at that and continue to look at it. I, however, as do many others I am sure, do much better when I can hear what this is about. Most of us learn through multiple input sources. The ability to ask questions about things that we don't understand is invaluable. I hope that we can get some of our questions on EOBR answered or at least addressed as well.
Old dogs can learn new tricks it just takes us a lot longer than young dogs!!!

layout - If you read various spots on that site you will see that sometime soon they plan on placing the actual recordings of their public hearings on this site.....I agree with you that will answer alot of our questions.....I do better by hearing the conversation rather than read through a bunch of dribble...........
Here is another easy link from that site which helped me though:

This site has the infraction points. I also like the site as there is an area for how CSA 2010 will affect the drivers.
CSA 2010 FMCSA New Carrier Rating System Measured by 7 Behavior Analysis & Safety Improvement Categories
Knowledge is power and knowledge is how we plan on keeping our business alive after CSA 2010 in fully implemented.
There are many things this year that we are trying to keep stay up with.
Hours of service rules changing with FMCSA
CSA 2010
How the EOBR will affect out lives and also tie in very nicely with CSA 2010.
This year just listening to music and the comedy channel on XM and Sirius is not going keep your business and CDL afloat.
This is also a year when attending seminars and workshops will also give us the knowledge we need to stay ahead of this quickly changing game.

You know it is all good and well that you know all about this, the program is flawed but the intent is good. The solution won't fix problems they think it will, but make more of a problem because 89% of bad behavior doesn't seem to be caught.
The biggest thing that you need to know - regardless what others seem to say - is to simply remain vigilant about safety and don't worry about it. The more someone worries about it, the more that it will become a problem. The only time someone should worry about it is either they are p*ss poor drivers to begin with or that the company and the drivers both suk and are marginal to begin with.
I have listened to hours of conversation over this issue, most of the crying comes from O/O who feel it is an infringement on their tright to drive, others are concerned about how the points works out in the past and so on. Most who are company drivers seem to sit on the fence but without all the needed self-policing and the "this is the freedom of the road" crap, it was due to come about.
There should all be required to have some sort of training for all operators who are leased to them.
But with all that said, I would be a LOT more concern about the DOT physical changes than the CSA2010. It seems that if the advisory board gets there way, many of us will not be able to drive at all - from BMI to DOT quialified doctors to a nationwide database with your medical records in it.
