Improve your CSA score before violations happen.

The CSA Compliance Assistant reads your fleet's ELD data continuously and coaches drivers hands-free - catching hours-of-service, form-and-manner, and log-certification issues before they're ever written up.

A bad CSA score isn't just a compliance metric.

It shows up in your insurance renewal, your bid list, and your drivers' day.

  • Insurance premiums rise

    Insurers price directly off CSA data - often before you've seen the number move yourself.

  • Customers walk

    Large shippers screen carriers on CSA scores before awarding freight. A score above threshold can disqualify you from business you already have.

  • Audits consume your team's time

    Crossing an intervention threshold can trigger investigations that pull your safety team off everything else.

  • Drivers get put out of service

    Some violations mean a driver is parked at roadside on the spot - a late load and a truck earning nothing.

Hours of service

Stop losing your clocks to bad timing.

Federal law caps driving to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, with a mandatory 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours and weekly limits of 60 or 70 hours. Drivers call these “clocks” - the 11-hour clock, the 14-hour clock.

Almost nobody blows a clock through ignorance. A driver mid-route realizes at minute five that a break is due and has nowhere legal to park. Give them an hour of notice instead, and they can plan for it.

The Assistant watches every driver's clocks continuously. At 60 minutes before a mandatory break it alerts the cab and notifies dispatch, escalating at 30 and 15 minutes if the driver hasn't stopped - so dispatch can adjust delivery expectations before the delay happens, not after.

Form and manner violations

The paperwork violation with no safety benefit.

A driver's log needs specific fields to be legally complete: trailer number, shipping document number, carrier name, mileage, duty-status annotations. Miss one, and the log is cited as a form and manner violation - even though the driver's actual hours were entirely legal.

It's volume, not carelessness. A driver making many stops a day enters these details over and over; a trailer gets swapped and the number doesn't get updated. It's data entry, and humans are bad at data entry.

The Assistant checks log entries against what should be there and flags missing trailer numbers, missing or malformed shipping document numbers, and format errors - while the driver is on duty and can actually fix it.

Uncertified logs

The seconds-long fix nobody remembers to make.

At the end of each day, a driver has to review and digitally certify their electronic log. It takes seconds. Skip it, and the log sits uncertified - citable at the next roadside inspection.

It's pure forgetfulness at the end of a long day, and it's cumulative: a driver with several uncertified days is carrying several citable violations without knowing it.

The Assistant detects uncertified logs, including from prior days, and reminds the driver audibly while they're on duty and able to act - not while they're driving.

No driver action required until there's something to fix.

  1. Connects & monitors

    Integrates with your existing ELD - Samsara, Geotab, ISAAC, Platform Science, and others - and reads it continuously. No new hardware.

  2. Detects & coaches

    Catches the issue before it's a violation and delivers a hands-free alert in the cab - timed for when the driver is on duty and able to act, never while driving.

  3. Follows up & reports

    Escalates if nothing changes, and logs every alert for dispatch - so the back office always knows what was flagged and whether it was resolved.

CSA compliance questions, answered

What is a CSA score?

Compliance, Safety, Accountability - FMCSA's safety enforcement program. Every carrier gets a percentile in categories like Hours of Service Compliance; a higher percentile means worse standing, and crossing your category's threshold triggers FMCSA intervention.

Why is a higher CSA score worse?

The score is a percentile against similar carriers. An 85th-percentile carrier has more violations than 85% of its peers - worse standing than a carrier at the 40th percentile.

What is a form and manner violation?

A driver's log is missing a required field - trailer number, shipping document number, a duty-status annotation - even though the hours themselves were fully legal.

What is an uncertified log?

A log a driver forgot to digitally sign off at the end of their shift. It's citable at roadside even though nothing about the day was unsafe.

Does the Assistant replace our ELD?

No. It reads data from the ELD you already have - Samsara, Geotab, ISAAC, Platform Science, and others - and adds coaching on top. No rip-and-replace.

Will this startle a driver alone in the cab at night?

Every alert opens with a short tone before any message plays, so it's never a voice appearing without warning.

What about drivers who don't want new technology?

A driver doing everything correctly gets no alerts at all. The system is silent unless there's something worth saying.

Can a driver just turn the volume down to avoid alerts?

The back office can see device volume level, so a driver going quiet doesn't go unnoticed.
