With this episode, Trucking Matters from Reliance Partners begins our series exploring the Seven BASICs that are covered under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Compliance, Safety and Accountability enforcement program. BASIC is an acronym for Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category. Part 1 of our series will feature the opening segment in a detailed overview of the Unsafe Driving BASIC.

Thom Albrecht, the Chief Revenue Officer at Reliance Partners, will serve as your host and moderator for this episode, which features expert perspective from Mark Barlar and Daniel Vega, two members of the Reliance Partners Safety Impact Team. Prior to joining Reliance Partners, both Mark and Daniel established sterling reputations in commercial vehicle enforcement with long careers as State Troopers. At Reliance, Mark and Daniel are working with the company’s clients in the areas of safety and compliance.

In addition to discussing the Unsafe Driving BASIC by noting the various types and the severity of unsafe driving violations, including a look at how the points system works, this episode also provides an overview of the Compliance, Safety and Accountability Enforcement Program overseen by the FMCSA and the Safety Measure System applied to truck carriers.

This discussion was initially shared as part of a Safety Matters Live Webinar episode from Reliance Partners on September 16th. Reliance Partners invites you to sign up for the second webinar in the company’s series covering the Seven Basics.
