One of the proposed changes to the CSA program includes a shift in focus from a score-based system to a prioritization approach.

This means that rather than relying solely on a numerical score, the FMCSA is exploring ways to better identify and target carriers with the highest safety risk. The prioritization approach considers various factors and data points to determine which carriers may pose the most significant safety concerns.

Aim Celebrates Drivers During National Truck Driver Appreciation Week
Posted on 09/22/2023 01:39 PM
Since the vital role a truck driver plays happens behind the scenes, it’s easy for many to overlook how critical they are to the American way of life. At Aim, however, drivers are anything but overlooked. They, along with our diesel mechanics, are front and center in all that we do.
Celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW) is one of many ways Aim shows appreciation for our drivers. For those unfamiliar, this weeklong event calls upon Americans to show their appreciation for the country’s 3.6 million professional truck drivers and the fundamental role they carry out with pride and humility.
While Aim doesn’t need a special reminder of how crucial our truck drivers are for us to be able to provide best-in-class dedicated fleet services through our Aim Integrated Logistics division, Aim never misses seizing NTDAW to give our professional drivers an extra helping of appreciation.
