We have blogged here in the past regarding the issue of disparate enforcement of CSA violations state to state. Well, we’ve run some new numbers and its difficult to know where to begin. We could talk about Louisiana seatbelts, Indiana speeding, Texas lights, Georgia logs or Maryland medical certificates… or we could go on at length on the five public BASICs; Fatigue, Maintenance, Unsafe, Substance and Fitness and how their relative importance meanders across the nation like some serpentine beastie. What is a safety professional to do? What in the heck is a driver to do? We decided to package it all up and make the research and data available to anyone who is inclined to dive in and have a look. (Its $99 at the IQLab)
It’s tempting to look for some unifying theory and to stomp our feet and demand consistency…bottom line, ya just gotta know. Disparate enforcement is how the world exists today, and its critical that these state by state enforcement priorities get communicated to your drivers. The Top Violations by State Analyzer shows you what you and your drivers need to know as you cross state lines.
Vigillo has compiled the latest data on inspections and top violations by state, correlated to CSA BASIC, and bundled it up in an Excel Workbook with Pivot Table tools that can be easily sorted, filtered, sliced and diced to give you the view you need into the enforcement mindset of the states in which you operate. We even included some cool maps. You can print em and roll em up as stocking stuffers.
