Maybe yours!
The new CSA regulations pose a risk to every American Trucker. Under CSA, your records are made public and can cost you your livelihood . To understand how CSA could HURT YOU  and stop it please do 2 things...
1-Look at this article and its summary listed below
2- Contact Congressmen on the Federal Transportation committee (the contact links by state are listed below)

Article Summary
A-Under CSA a qualified trucker received a rating number from the government based on old information that was not illegal when it was recorded under Safestat.
B-A client of the transporter stopped doing business with them because they determined that the truckers rating number meant the trucker was a risk even though the trucker had  broken no laws since CSA went into effect.
 Imagine this happening to YOUR trucking company. Imagine being barred from doing business because of a random number. This has to be changed. We cannot lose more jobs.
This is going to require we contact people in positions of influence to let them know they can prevent job loss.

Please copy and paste the letter below and email these Congressman on the Federal Transportation Committee whose names are listed below, especially if they are from your home state or home district.
 
If we don’t fight this it could cost us our Jobs
Congressman,
I have a job in the trucking industry. Under CSA regulations over hundreds of thousands of jobs could disappear because of the rating system. Please keep the initial findings closed to the public so insurers and other freight companies don’t blacklist firms due to an arbitrary number. This is not democratic and does not give due process. Additionally, we can’t lose more jobs…or an entire industry. Please contact the Department of Transportation and get this stopped.
We are referencing this case…
