DO CSA SCORES REALLY MATTER?
A
bsolutely they do! It’s important to understand the significance of a CSA score
and how it can impact your company. As we all know, or should know, a good CSA score could reduce the number of audits and inspections that your company may be subject to. On the road, a good CSA score could result in by-passing the scales for instance. What driver wouldn’t like that? The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) monitors CSA scores to prioritize carriers with potential safety issues for interventions, which could include warning letters, inspections, and audits that can lead to more formal agency action. These actions can be time consuming and could prove to be very costly. In the past year or so, we here at AJ Weigand have focused on improving our CSA score by doing the little things right. Communication with our drivers is paramount in making them aware of how important a good CSA score can be for themselves and our company. It can start with an unexpected roadside inspection. Performing a proper pre-trip inspection is the key to either a good inspection, or not so good. Simple things that might be overlooked during a pre-trip inspection for example could include brakes out of adjustment, broken lights, oil or grease leaks, tire tread depth, to name a few. Despite its importance, brake safety is a commonly overlooked aspect of pre-trip inspections, and cause for many citations. In addition, making sure that all documents and credentials are in order and up to date are equally important.
18 • www.TankDriversUNLIMITED.com
By Jim Wickiser Safety Manager Approximately 12% of all violations are medical related, mostly because drivers do not carry a valid medical certificate. This is a simple citation to avoid. Have a good system in place to flag when medical certificates are coming up for re-certification. At AJ Weigand, after a roadside inspection has been completed, our driver will contact the Safety Department with the results. These results are then communicated to all our drivers for the purpose of reminding them to be doing their pre-trip inspections and making sure everything is in order. We have a bonus system in place for our drivers who come away with a clean roadside inspection. The bonus is structured on what level of roadside inspection was performed. Within the past year, AJ Weigand’s CSA score has dropped into single digits. We are very proud of the effort that all of our driver’s have put forth in making us one of the safest carriers on the road today. Another part of our process that reflects a good CSA rating is having a daily routine of monitoring speed and onboard logs, which provides updated driver duty status. Good communication with our dispatchers pulls it all together. Whether you are a large carrier or small, having a roadside inspection not go the way you hoped, could affect many aspects of your business if a trend develops. This could include audits and the inability to secure new business. I think we could all agree that CSA SCORES REALLY DO MATTER!!!

BOOKS Make Great Gifts for Young and Old Alike
F
or young and old alike, books make great gifts. To wow your favorite readers on the next birthday or special occasion, consider the following titles, which will allow them to become armchair explorers, travel back in time, or even take an inner journey to learn more about themselves. • Send your loved one on a global journey that explores the innovations and ingenuity of the world’s most iconic structures with “Man-Made Wonders of the World.” Featuring breathtaking images, this celebration of the world that humans have built over thousands of years features the history, architecture and stories behind the Golden Gate Bridge, the Great Wall of China the Great Pyramid of Giza and more. • From orchids to opals and lichens to lizards, “Wonders of Nature” profiles 100 animals, plants, rocks, minerals and microorganisms. Vivid photography, illustrations and storybook descriptions let readers of all ages discover their myths, legends and facts. • Jetsetters will get a lot out of “Where to go When: Unforgettable Trips for Every Month,” the ultimate vacation planner, showcasing the most amazing places in the world and the best time of year to see them. Combining narrative with photography, the book brings to life over 100 destinations across the globe -- including Costa Rica’s rainforests, the clouds in Nepal, Croatia’s cypress-clad islands and the saw-toothed crags of Canada’s Rocky Mountains. • Steeped in the wisdom of the Vedas, “A Yogic Path Oracle Deck” by Sahara Rose, is a tool to access one’s yogic intuition. Each card represents 21 • www.TankDriversUNLIMITED.com
aspects of the self, symbolized by sacred figures and concepts that are integral to yoga and Ayurveda. Illuminated with ethereal artwork by Danielle Noelle, the cards provide insight into the present and guidance for the future, unlocking a deeper understanding of self. The accompanying full-color guide provides complete descriptions of each card as well as suggestions for working with the deck. • Great explorers have one thing in common: a desire to leap into the unknown, no matter how dangerous that might be. In “Explorers,” an exciting non-fiction storybook for children, readers venture into steaming jungles in search of lost temples, fight off frostbite in the Arctic and blast off into space as they meet famous explorers. From Ferdinand Magellan’s first circumnavigation of the world to Barbara Hillary’s treks to the North and South poles while in her seventies, this book documents the trials of those who rewrote our understanding of the world. Cross-sections reveal the amazing detail inside Spanish galleons, lost cities and spaceships, hand-drawn maps reveal intrepid journeys in great detail, and photographs highlight the artifacts and relics found along the way. For more great gift ideas, visit dk.com/us. On the next special occasion or even “just because,” give the gift of discovery with books that allow readers to expand their knowledge of the world.

Write More Letters
TO FRIENDS and Family IN
an age of instant messages, video chats and social media, the art of letter writing has become rare. But sitting down to write correspondence by hand can be a much more personal way to connect than some of the modern modes of communication. Not only does it give you ample opportunity to express yourself, it gives your recipient something tangible to hold onto and revisit. International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo), celebrated in February, is the perfect opportunity to hone your letter-writing skills. This month-long challenge invites you to hand-write and mail or deliver one letter, card, note or postcard every day of the month. If it’s been some time since you last corresponded by snail mail, you may find your letter-writing skills to be a bit rusty. To help you be successful during InCoWriMo and beyond, the experts at Pilot Pen are offering some tips:
1.
Make Lasting Connections. Writing and mailing letters daily may feel a bit intimidating, but why should it? Did you text someone today? Did you send an email? If the answer is yes, you’re already halfway there. Put pen to paper instead and add a more personal, analog touch to your daily communication. Reconnect with long distance friends, send happy mail to your parents, or explore the opportunity to encourage a soldier overseas and make a new friend in the process. Whoever you choose to write to this process, it will help create a physical reminder of the connection between you and your recipient.
2. Pick Great Tools. A trusty pen can get you
through any deadline, to-do list or thank you note. Wielding this powerful tool will automatically help you feel capable of taking on new challenges.

During the month of February, Pilot Pen suggests picking up a pen designed to help you author your best correspondence, as well as overachieve in every aspect of your life. With G2, America’s number one selling, longest-lasting gel ink pen, you’ll be able to glide through all 29 days of handwritten letters, and anything else that comes across your desk, for months to come.
3.
Get Inspired. Not sure where to start? Think of each recipient and what makes them special to you. Share favorite memories or accomplishments that make you extra proud of them. Then, share one anecdote or piece of news from your life. In our increasingly digital lives, your unique hand-written sentiments will likely bring a welcome bit of cheer into their day.
4.
Get Personal. Remember: the written word is powerful, especially when it’s personal. Give each note a special touch by writing it on monogrammed stationery or a special postcard. You can take this personalization concept one step further by using different pens for each recipient. With four pen point sizes ranging from ultra-fine to bold and more than 25 ink color options, including pastels, and metallics, there’s sure to be a G2 pen suited to your writing style and your recipient’s tastes.

By rediscovering the art of handwritten correspondence this February, you’ll give yourself 29 meaningful chances to connect with pen pals all over the globe.-(StatePoint) PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Lindsey Bugbee
