For Immediate Release
Truckers Matter, LLC Increases Services Offering with Recruiting Matters
New company providing Innovative CSA solutions to help Profit with CSA!
Midlothian, Texas…..David Saunders, COO of Truckers Matter, announced today further enhancements of his recently launched new web based services site, www.TruckersMatter.com. The new enhancement called Recruiting Matters allows for motor carriers needing drivers to expedite the entire screening process for recruiting drivers by placing all the needed services into one easy to use service portal. In addition Recruiting Matters also scores and categorizes the drivers based on his or her Pre-Employment Screening Program, (PSP) data. Recruiting Matters allows a motor carrier to quickly review the employability of each driver based on their own hiring criteria. Another unique feature of Recruiting Matters is that the drivers that do not meet the carrier’s hiring criteria can remain in the Truckers Matter Program and be counseled and retrained to help them to improve their employability for other carriers.
David Saunders, COO of Truckers Matter stated “These new services are unique and designed to allow carriers to expedite their hiring capabilities and improve their driver retention. Many of our current carrier customers of our other service offerings are embracing this new thought process”. Carriers signed up for these new services can not only use the innovative new recruiting services for drivers they recruit on their own; they can also take advantage of drivers in the Truckers Matter Driver Pool that are already prescreened and ready to drive.
About Truckers Matter……. The main focus of Truckers Matter is helping drivers better understand and profit from the changes in the trucking industry brought on by CSA. Truckers Matter, LLC is a full service provider that assists motor carriers with their recruiting and retention of drivers. The Truckers Matter Staff is comprised of seasoned trucking professionals eager to help their driver and carrier customers cope with the ever increasing driver shortage. Truckers Matter is powered by leading third party compliance administrator, Compliance Safety Systems.

FMCSA redefines “HM Carrier”
I am writing to alert you to a change in the how FMCSA defines an “HM Carrier” for the purposes of applicability to lower intervention thresholds in CSA.As you likely know, HM carriers are subject to lower thresholds for agency intervention (than general freight carriers) in each of the seven measurement categories. However, the agency has struggled with how to appropriately define an “HM Carrier” for this purpose. Many motor carriers that transport HM only do so in very small quantities and, at that, often carry the least dangerous HM commodities (e.g. paint). Accordingly, FMCSA has decided to apply the lower thresholds only to carriers that haul HM in placarded quantities (generally 1,001 lbs or more of most HM). To identify these carriers, FMCSA now looks to see if any one of these three conditions applies:
1) The carrier has had a roadside inspection in the prior 24 months involving a quantity of HM that requires placarding;2) An FMCSA compliance review revealed that the carrier hauls placarded quantities of HM; or3) The carrier holds an FMCSA HM permit.The impact of this change is two-fold. Carriers that had not previously declared themselves as HM carriers (on their biennial MCS-150 form filing) but had a roadside inspection involving placarded HM in the prior 24 months now find themselves subject to lower CSA intervention thresholds (and perhaps assigned an “alert” status as a result due to scores over the lower threshold). Conversely, carriers that had previously identified themselves as HM carriers but do not haul placarded quantities are no longer subject to the lower thresholds.
