If you need help with DataQ give us a call and we will help you understand what DataQ is and how to use it. 

CSA and the DataQ System is forever in a state of change. The program is in a learning curve just like the people in the system they are using the program against. The thing is while the FMCSA can forgive themselves for their actions they are not as likely to forgive you for their mistakes. Sometimes you have to fight to make it right.

Drivers need legal protection as well as CSA education. Carriers who don't see that are not educated on CSA and will pay a heavy price for ignoring the Federal Government. CSA is not like the law enforcement programs of the past. Drivers have always been stoped going thru states other than the one they are from because the officers know the drivers will not come back to fight the tickets. Legal Shield outs a stop to that.
When an officer sees a Legal Shield decal on a truck they know the driver has an attorney in every legal jurisdiction in America.

The current legal atmosphere is not good for truckers or carriers and it is getting worse everyday.

Our Attorney's are AV rated and we provide you attorneys in every state except Alaska.

The State of Indiana is looking into the law that governs the action of the CSA which overturns the authority of judges. We questioned Capt. Wayne Andrews on how his state could overide a judges decision and the answer was he would turn it over to legal council for review.

The FMCSA then informed the Indiana State Police that if they removed warning tickets from DataQ after a challange then they would lose all Federal Highway Funds.

Law Enforcement in Indiana had been telling drivers that warning tickets didn't count aganist a driver when the ticket was written in addition to a safety inspectionwhich was not correct.
Our sources now tell us that Indiana no longer uses that phrase or the warning ticket law so much! Thanks Indiana!!!
 CSA Boot Camp

Why would any carrier take a chance of damaging or losing their company simply because of a lack of CSA training. Our CSA Boot Camp Program will help you make sure you and your employees understand what the CSA regulations are that causes drivers to be written up in the first place.

Educating your drivers can save you time and money but you have to be educating drivers correctly. 

Believe it!
Ann Ferro of the FMCSA says CSA is all about the drivers! 4 of the 7 BASIC's are driver related.

CSA has brought a huge challenge to the trucking industry. It took five years to design. Hundreds of people worked on the program from all across the United States. The FMCSA has attempted to cover every aspect of the trucking industry in CSA. The CSA document as it is written is even a challenge for most attorneys. What most carriers are missing is that CSA has two parts, Administrative and then the mechanics of the system. The mechanics of the system has been completely overlooked. What this means is that the FMCSA ment for everyone in the company to understand the safety standards set by CSA. If dispatchers, mechanics and managers do not understand what the drivers must do to keep the carrier rolling then it is impossible for drivers to succeed in their job. Without a combined effort the carrier is almost guaranteed to fail. 

Carriers across our country are all dealing with CSA on their own terms. Some are providing orientation training, while others are providing training during safety meetings. Some hand out a few CSA documents some hand out CSA books in the hope that drivers will read and comprehend what they are reading.

If the carrier is lucky and the drivers can comprehend the material that they are asked to study then the hope is drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and management will all be able to operate on the same page and navigate the turbulent waters of CSA. That is not what is happening.

What is Reprogramming and why do we need this now?

Our onsite CSA Training Program from Legal Benefits Group first and foremost is simple and easy to understand. Most of the information is taken from FMCSA documents and translated to documents that have a simple meaning. The other information is common sense actions that should be taken into account by all who participate. There are 249 lessons to our CSA Training program. We send out 5 separate files by email each week to a designated company officer. That company officer then distributes these lessons to all of those who should be studying CSA using electronic and other means available to them. Most of the lessons are just one page. The task of delivering lesson directly to each employee can also be handled by Legal Benefits Group.

Are we training or reprogramming an industry?

If CSA was just a few rules we could do some training and it would be over. CSA is a 900 page document full of rules, regulations and it does not contain information about states such as Indiana who have passed their own laws by taking ideas from CSA and making them their own.

Reprogramming the way we think about trucking is the only answer to making sure you or your company in not held libel in a lawsuit because the employee working for you or even yourself was not properly trained on CSA regulations!

The last quarter of 2010 a driver was awarded $130,000 from his carrier because a dispatcher ordered the driver to continue on his delivery after being cited for a carrier equipment violation.  The driver did not want to sue his carrier but was pushed to it by an uneducated employee who did not understand the impact of CSA. Trucking has changed big time.

After a driver completes their first lesson on CSA, Legal Benefits Group, Inc. will provide DataQ information for drivers or we will file DataQ claims for the drivers if the service is needed. We also keep the company updated on any changes in CSA as we discover these changes.

The good news, when you couple our drivers legal plan protection that is paid for by your drivers, with our CSA Drivers Training Program there is no cost to the carrier. The carrier receives the training programs at no cost unless there is a special delivery method required and as long as our group legal plan is in force the carrier will be provided our service for all employees and all new employees for years to come.

If the CSA training at your company is not working I can tell you why and how to fix it. You don't have to reinvent the wheel!

What does this mean for your company?  CSA Education, CSA Training, CSA updates, DataQ assistance, DataQ filing to help remove points from carrier and driver records.  The long term education we provide drivers will improve their performance as a driver and as an employee. We have seen that happen over and over through out the years.

The change in trucking in December 2010 changed trucking forever. The FMCSA said they wanted to throw out the old way of thinking and operating America's trucking industry and change everything about it. They reached their goal and now its time for you to realize that every driver will have a CSA record from no own that is charged against his carrier. The carrier can't run from the technology that the FMCSA is using. Learn now how to cope with the new era of trucking. Provide the right kind of training so everyone in your company knows what you are up against. We have developed a program that is both easy to understand and affordable. It's possible to even get it for free. Give us a call, what in the world do you have to loose?
